Fake Receipts (schneier.com)

The fake receipts are $40/each by the looks of things. That prices the service out of the petty theft realm (i.e. you're not spending $40 to expense a fake $50 dinner) and well past most of the legally dubious but (arguably) morally acceptable reproduction of receipts for expenses you _did_ incur. IMO their sample receipts also didn't look that great, with the logos blurry on the edges and not as dark as the text, and the text not an obvious POS typeface.

Honestly the only interesting use I can see for this service would be on the side of the provider -- it would be amusing to see who would pay for such a thing and what they'd request.


It's an IRS sting operation.


Is this an assumption or a fact? Strangely enough, that comment alone seems reason enough not to even bother visiting the site.


really? for many services these days, your only receipt is an email, and such things are easy to edit, why is something that complicated needed?
