REDBOX DVD Vending Machines & Credit Card Account Security

[marcolovesu1]

can u do it with a different card thats not a credit card

[SkyTopsc]

guys it works i tryed it



[TheBadassSuperstar]

because the first thing i think about buying when i find a credit card is the first thing i'd do.

[JerWayneHill]

lol i see my friends renteing games from redbox and their moms paypal they report stolen n keep the games lol redsteal box

[deddins4]

Yea same here rent new game then report lost card

[Bitchimamaz1n]

i rent new games and repor my card lost lol

[mnetrucker]

Only reason I use redbox, is for games. Thats it. I get all my movies from Netflix, for the time being. Till those ass rapist go up on me in a month or so.

[vdotmatrix]

Maybe redo has finally pulled its head out and fix a zip code problem

[wierdpoplol]

My local store's says error wrong zip code if I enter a wrong one...

[BRm2008]

why do they need your zip code? even movie theaters ask for your zip/postal code.,

[mattmax11]

@BRm2008 for the machine it's so they can verify it with the credit card

[BRm2008]

i dont trust those machines not to fuck up or keep charging me even after i return the movie. its a scam.

[mmmhhh1100]

Dumass

[MrDeeznutznyomouth]

redbox has shitty movies anyways



[vdotmatrix]

I am not talking about online stores. There are MANY zip codes in an area. I am just saying, entering a zipcode at redbox doesn't fullfill any securinty requirements and if you ready their use policy you are responsible for anything purchased through redbox.

[OnDaMill]

He Said ''Spider Wack'' when its spiderwick lol!!

[vdotmatrix]

@OnDaMill

LOL I know, We had just watched it and I didn't have a script as you can see my amateur video!! LOL thanks for watching!!!

[chantal0609]

Any one who watches this and thinks this is a Redbox "flaw" your wrong. Try calling up and simply asking about this before making a video saying it's a flaw with Redbox. I did and they explained! Billing zip code is so that customer service can find your account when you call in. So any 5 digits will work but if you call in with an issue you have to make sure you remember what digits you entered or they cannot confirm it's your account. No where does it say it's a security feature.

[vdotmatrix]

@chantal0609

that's BUNK. your email address is your account number. i use a different zip code every time and can call any day of the week and they will find my account. thanks for watching!

[chantal0609]

@vdotmatrix

I'm sure they have several means to finding your account. Email address is optional for receipts. Not everyone has a computer bud. They can not disclose certain information though without confirming it's your account. They said it was part of a federal act VPPA. Look it up. All someone needs is your credit card with the CVV number and go ape shit online anyways. You gonna complain about all online shopping websites as well and make a video about that?

[vdotmatrix]

@chantal0609

no just this one as you can see it has been years since i made this video and still get responses like yours. watch it or don't watch it, use red box or don't use red box-the choice is yours...people open an account through whatever means they have if they want an account- it doesn;t concern me. thanks for watchin!

[scarecrow1616]

u tattle tale

[RyanIndustriess]

@vdotmatrix see the forest, if you don't know your credit card has been missing the amount of days to make a significant charge then you shouldn't be allowed to cross the street on your own.

[RyanIndustriess]

This is the dumbest video ever, for one why would a crook steal your credit card to buy red box dvds? another thing most red box machines are in well lit monitored stores, and you don't use zip codes as security codes.

[vdotmatrix]

@RyanIndustriess I beg to differ with you. At the gas pump if you do not enter the proper billing zip code you are fucked for gasoline. Douche bags, usually punks and loosers, will try and get whatever they can during that window until the cards are discovered missing and subsequently closed. The video is an attempt to bring light to get RED BOX to address this. Thanks for your insightful critique of this video.

[RyanIndustriess]

@vdotmatrix No problem, too bad generally people steal things worth money, instead of a overly used dvd in a small plastic case that anyone can rent for a dollar. I suppose they stole your credit card just so they could make thrifty dollar store purchases too.

[vdotmatrix]

@RyanIndustriess See the trees Ryan...

[BroccoliWasDone1]

@vdotmatrix I know this is from a while back, but why is it redbox's responsibility to protect your credit card from others? They protect the card information which is all they can do. If someone stole your card and used it at redbox, or any online store it's the card owner's fault. Plain and simple.

[vdotmatrix]

@BroccoliWasDone1 whether it is the card owner's fault or not that an unauthorized purchase is made on someone's credit card is a bit of a stretch, I think redbox has a duty to make their machines secure for the public to use; afterall it's their machines. You have to enter your billing zip code when buying gasoline at the pump, it just seems weird I can enter any zip code every time. Apparently he zip code isn't for security. Thanks for watching!

[BroccoliWasDone1]

@vdotmatrix But why would anyone assume a zipcode is for security purposes? If someone has stolen your credit card... there's a good chance they live in the area and know the zipcode. So, are you saying that every online store is responsible if someone steals your card and uses it to buy things from their site? All you need is the card number and the CVV which is on the back of the card. The only way to keep it safe is to NOT LOSE IT. Plain and simple.

[vdotmatrix]

@BroccoliWasDone1 : That is NOT true however. In my locale you cannot buy GASOLINE at many pumps with a credit card WITHOUT entering the billing ZIPCODE. Well yes....Every online store needs to be secure with your payment information-no brainer. Yeah right, don't loose something. Don't have an accident- plain and simple.....right!!!! thanks for watching!

[BroccoliWasDone1]

@vdotmatrix I'm sure your gas stations do have you put in your zipcode... I'm not saying they don't. I'm just saying, MOST places do not have you put in a zipcode as a security feature because, once again, anyone can guess a zipcode. Especially if they're from that area. But every online store doesn't ask you for a password. Most of them, like I said, only need the credit card number and the CVV number. So anyone with your card can buy anything. It's in no way redbox's fault.

[MrMikeyboy1002]

@vdotmatrix Not sure where you live but I just recently traveled from florida to new york, and then back, probably went to 40 gas stations, not a single gas station in any state asked me for a zip code. AVS is not going to save you from credit card fraud.

[vdotmatrix]

@MrMikeyboy1002 well I am sure you hit every gas station along the seaboard. the Shell gas pumps at many stations in Northern Va, DC and MD and some other gas station pumps require your billing ZIP code. thanks for watching!

[vdotmatrix]

I suppose maybe the gist of this video is perhaps they should improve security.

[vdotmatrix]

@RyanIndustriess brilliant!! Why do criminals do the things they do anyway!

[vdotmatrix]

no, a grocery store.

[killspamjr]

is that wal-mart?

[xXrakeXnXbakeXx]

8888888888

[vdotmatrix]

@xXrakeXnXbakeXx LOL

[CoolLikeNoOtha]

Point blank, I still have 2 pay 4 my goddamn movie. This vid is USELESS

[icantheplant]

Asking for your zip code has nothing to do with security. The reason they want you zip code is to see where there customers are coming from to help them decide where it would be most profitable to put other machines. If a lot of people were using zip codes from an area with few or no machines redbox will most likely put a machine in that area.

[vdotmatrix]

@icantheplant this makes sense, how do you know this :)

[icantheplant]

@vdotmatrix I used to work in a retail store where we had to ask for customers zip codes at the register for that reason so I assume that's why red box dose it.

[ender32137]

@icantheplant Then why does it say "For security reasons?"

[mmeeeeooww]

spiderwalk

hehe

[Pieh0]

Nice padding towards the end...

[airwalk461]

lol he said spiderwalk

[vdotmatrix]

@airwalk461 lol, I know...i was wingin the entire video-no scripting or director.

[ryan5854]

its red at safeway blue at walmart and green at coles wtf!!!! thumbs up for RANDOMNESS

[BroccoliWasDone1]

@ryan5854 Safeway isn't redbox. It's DVDPlay. Thumbs up for stupidity.

[NYballer11725]

random zips work at gas stations too...which is why I always thought credit cards and debit cards shoudl both require some kind of pin regardless....but everyone wants speed, and 1 2 3 nowadays..which is shyt is like this

[katrus]

Huh. That box doesn't have the security blocks that stop people from installing skimmers.

[Runey2334]

@katrus Thats a security flaw in itself

[SupernautG]

I have always assumed the zipcode was for sales tax assesment and NOT for security.

[vdotmatrix]

@SupernautG In the couple years this video has been up your response is probably the first intelligent and thoughtful, concrete response/feedback I have gotten which probably reflects reality!! Thank you for your response!!!

[vdotmatrix]

@MrTheboz21

but you still have to register a real credit card whiplash.

[KirbyDaMaster]

i will never call redbox , its to cool to steel

[rob583]

All criminals are MacGyver wannabes and will steal your credit cards so they can rent from Red Box DVD. Because there's nothing else worthwhile to do with stolen credit cards.

[scatmaster125]

@rob583 Redbox's are used to determine if a stolen card has been deactivated yet, before making large purchases. I know i rented from a North Carolina airport redbox on my way home to Minnesota and i got a call with in 10 min from my bank wanting to verify that it was in fact me who rented. Despite the fact i had been making purchases there all week. Another red flag for credit card security is pay at the pumps.

[whammylancer]

Redbox reads your fingerprints as you touch the screen. LOL

[kdixon7783c]

I bet you dollars to donuts that this putz works for Blockbuster. You want to talk about fraud? I had to pay for a movie that I had returned at a Blockbuster just because the Inept staff couldn't figure out what they did with it.

[elchamber]

@kdixon7783c I got one also. I rented a game from Blockbuster, then I returned the game before the due date. Month goes by without any of them calling me. Looked at my monthly credit statement and they charged me full price for the game. Went there and they found it on the shelf. They paid my credit card back, but they couldn't pay the back the restocking fee. They game my credits. They refuse to cancel my membership. I just closed that credit account. Bunch of dumbasses.

[dnave21]

i think it logs every city people purchase from.

[gtr3cords]

this puppy put my local hollywood video right out of business.I mean $1 compared to $5, lol and yes i did cancel my membership to HV for this

[MegaDodgerboy]

dude i like redbox a dollar a day not bad just got 2 movies the squekal and avatar

[vdotmatrix]

@MegaDodgerboy

yeah man...red box is awesome!!!

[vdotmatrix]

FAUD? ok, thanks!

[bigmandea]

this is faud though

[willhall280]

Tried it in wv with our card and it doesnt work

[bestvidsdottk]

@willhall280 Don't try to bullshit anybody, no one in West Virginia has a credit card.

[sbc2k1]

you could do that with a credit card anywhere anyway.. fuck the redbox shit-i would buy a flatscreen from costco..slide the card..done

[vdotmatrix]

Thing is kitty, you have no idea what a criminal would do and that is not the point of this video. Personally my dear catwomsn, I can give a scratch what anyone

does with your credit cards!

[CatLives9]

I'm sure if "the bad guys" did get a hold of your credit card, going to a Redbox for a couple of dvds won't be very high on their "What to Do" list.

[solomonoftm]

@CatLives9 you'd be surprised...

[LUVESTHESKITTLES]

@CatLives9 yeah, i think it would, are you a credit card thief? if not then how can you be certin

[qw6234]

@LUVESTHESKITTLES hhmm $7 for a dvd vs 1000+ for a mac, I dont know about you but id go for the mac

[ProjectMaster2000]

I think if someone steals a credit card they will buy something more expensive than a DVD. I wonder if these have cameras in them like an ATM? I recommend netflix. Don't even have to leave the house.

[tylersferguson]

for a dollar what kind of security do you expect? its the same thing if someone gets your credit card, learns your signature (that is on the back of your card i must add) and goes to any store to buy anything, credit cards arent as secure as people may think they are, the best way to avoid this is if your card is stolen to go get it canceled, like any sane human being would !!!!!!!!!!

[rideordiewarren]

If i lose my credit card I call the bank. Guess what the bank will do, THEY CANCEL THE CARD! Oh my how difficult.

[DIMATIF]

Lol I recently found 8 credit cards in the road they were all broken apart from a bankwest one

[gakkerout]

I sent 'dontwalkhand' a message detailing how Redbox gets its dvds and how it hurts the studios. He has yet to reply. Most don't realize that RB and Blockbuster pay about $1or $2 to lease a dvd, and can return them for a $6 buyback. That's profit without ever renting them. Studios make their money from shared proftis from each rental. In RB's case, pennies. Independent stores typically buy thier dvds, $18. They don't like the studios snooping around their cpu's to see how much they are owed.

[xobrentox]

I worked at BB for years, that's not how it works. When the DVDs are done being rented, they're sold in the stores as used DVDs unless the specific studio doesn't want them to be, in which case, they're actually destroyed, which sucks.

[gakkerout]

Exactly, that's the reason the DVD's are destroyed. They were never BB's dvds. If the BB you worked at was different due to being a franchise or otherwise I don't know. One doesn't destroy stuff they own. Destroyed DVD's are another form of shipping them back to the studio, you have to prove you destroyed them of course. BB destroys/ships back rather than sell used due to not owning them, they make the up the differnce in used sale by leasing it cheaper anyways.

[xobrentox]

The vast majority of DVD's were sold as used. The ones we destroyed we shipped back, but not for any kind of buyback, it was just the deal the studio made with BB. And if a single DVD went missing it was a big hoopla and someone could get fired. It was crazy.

[gakkerout]

I recently bought into a small video store that a friend of mine owns. He made it clear that revenue share programs are a pain to deal with. That's why we just buy our inventory full price from Ingram, no strings attached to it that way. With rumors of the BB next town 10mi over closing, and RB/Netfilx delayed titles bussiness is starting to pick up. By the way, was that a Sega Super GT twin sitdown cabinet at the bowling center you were at?

[CarterDna]

my wifes credit card got ripped off from my truck christmas eve...guess where they used it.....REDBOX..Poor security guys...Get that fixed

[abulthuis]

Why not keep your credit card more secure? They dont have poor security, YOU DO!

[pmic2011]

well if you enter your pin code to your credit card, dont you think that would be more of a risk? since your pin code goes to who knows where,,, whereas a bogus zip code isnt really important

[abulthuis]

Thats a good idea, Like an ATM issue

[mpoho2000]

Redbox is an exceptional idea IMO. I just used one for the first time 2 days ago. I liked it. Interesting point about the zipcode. I will see if it runs next time.

My biggest concern with the system is the fact that these machines can be rigged by scammers to steal credit swipes.

[gakkerout]

The Better Business Bureau rates Redbox a D-. Our local store gives kids free lolipops, cleans the DVDs, give you a nickle or even a dime here and there, and slashes late fees to just a few dollars so long as you just fess up to the fact that you brought them back late. WB, Fox, and Universal are limiting Redbox's access to their movies. Besides. it's cold in Colorado, I prefer browsing inside a building for a Blu-Ray film, it's better than DVD.

[vdotmatrix]

those were the days. I remember blockbuster being swamped nearly every night of the week. It's a vending machine. I like the convenience of being able to rent and return anywhere in the country! hey thanks for your post! cheers

[pmic2011]

i was wondering.....where does the dvd come from? is it inside the redbox?

[abulthuis]

Yes, the Redbox can hold a good amount of DVD's

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

Amen! lol

[gakkerout]

If you enter a 'real' incorrect zip code it won't allow the rental. If you enter a non existing, bogus, zip code it works. The software doesn't seem to know what to do with a zip code that does not exist, so it allows the rental. Seriously though, what kind of service do you expect for a $1? Rent at your local store, not Blockbuster or Redbox. At least then the money stays in your community. Hopefully Redbox dies, the studios agree.

[vdotmatrix]

The service is EXACTLY what it is. The DVD's you get are exactly the ones you can get anywhere else in your locality. I expect the service that I get for $1 not to have a liability of $24/DVD in the event something happens and if there is a limit of 5 DVDs, then that is an added liability one would have to deal. Local stores are few and far between in our market. REDBOX is booming.

[vdotmatrix]

A friend in Florida was able to enter a bogus zip code with the same effect so this isn't limited to my locality.

[dontwalkhand]

Only a nutjob would support the movie studios evil ways. Go Redbox & Netflix!

[gakkerout]

You missed the point. I support my locally owned video store, not the studios, though I still support the studios indirectly by renting. Redbox causes the studios to lose money, Netflix knows this and has agreed to the 30 day delay for new releases. Redbox is a bitch to work with, they sue left and right, ie. Fox, WB, and Universal.

[elbeaner03]

This can happen anywhere not just redbox. People can use your card to buy furniture and TVs and steal your identity. I'd rather someone get a DVD and have my bank take care of the fraud charges. And they can't start a DVD collection cuz you can only get 5 DVDs maximum lol

[vdotmatrix]

I am convinced people do not understand the message of this video.

They shouldn't be able to get even ONE goddamn video, let alone 5!

Why the **** are we required to enter our effin zip code if doesn't matter what the fuck numbers we enter? this is my whole point and nothing but the point, other than REDBOX can give a shit about this security flaw which still exists to this hour!

[Swanson1122]

so this doesnt charge anything to your credit card if you type in a fake area code?

[vdotmatrix]

Everything goes through and then it asks me for my email address for notifications, i hit enter and it dispenses the DVD. Just like in the video above. This isn't a goddam trick or some way for anyone to try and defraud red box, it is what it is and RED BOX can give a shit.

[vdotmatrix]

I haven't rented movies in many months and today I rented 3. I entered for a zip code 88888 and then for the last DVD i entered 11111. I guess the issue continues.

[shamwow56]

spiderwock lol

So thats not like a hack or anything. JUst a mistake?

[kalashnikova06]

you actually had to record that photo of a railroad for a joke that didn't work?

[vdotmatrix]

ah, it isn't really a joke-joke with the train , it is just a little stupid humor. and i didn't remember the title of that dvd with the camera rolling and all spiderwick right i don't remember. lol

[LordoftheReef]

You can also rent these thing with at least 1 dollar (and the applicable tax amount) on a visa gift card. Kinda stupid, but it works.

[eltonwheelock]

They can just as easily take that same credit card and use it at a Best Buy and buy whatever movies they want - this video is stupid - if I was a crook and had a stolen CC, I think I would be heading to the mall, not my nearest RedBox to make a movie collection....gheez - because at the mall, really, who checks for ID anymore?

[vdotmatrix]

Thanks for that bit of brilliance mate, don't sell yourself short, you'd make a great crook! That is not the point, whether, you being an clever criminal and all, one step smarter than the law, if someone happens to loose their CC round these parts, a security flaw exists. That's it, no hidden meaning. Round here, more and more merchants check identification, but maybe not in the puckerbrush, eh?

[flywithvicky]

stop hating you stupid fuck .. maybe you had a stolen cc and were at a local safeway and you decide to take some dvds .. its just an extra option, its the thought that counts .. not telling you what BETTER things to do with a stolen cc .. dumbfuck

[smashupradio]

he is being helpful you "dumbfuck" and giving a warning to "watch out" for this flaw

[flywithvicky]

learn to read "dumbfuck" i was defending it from another dumbfuck that considered this the stupidest thing to do with a stolen cc.

[smashupradio]

well, then we both agree

[Xadhanny]

as of April 26, 2009 I tried to rent a movie with my roommates cc i assumed being rommates zip was the same so I entered it and it did not let me rent the movie I called my friend for the correct zip and it was all good.....I am wondering if they fixed the problem or is just some red boxes that have the flaw....just a comment

[vdotmatrix]

Thanks for your update! i believe it must be a regional thing. Last night, I wanted to beat this dead horse again and rented , "when the Earth stood still" , Keaneu Reeves. And for shits and giggles, i entered ALL ZEROS again,and again, the machine vended the DVD. So, at least in our area, the issue still exits! Cheers!!!!

[vdotmatrix]

what town generaly do you live?

[Xadhanny]

Lawrenceville GA here!

[vdotmatrix]

I really don't know why this happens up here in Northern Virginia? I have used AMEX, MC and VISA.. really weird....redbox doesn't give a shit....

Hey man , cheers....

[quest8899]

The problem is it doesnt matter because its just your zipcode. All Red Box wants is the number on your credit card for payment purposes.

[blade83336]

does redbox have monthly fees or canceling fees? ifso how much

[vdotmatrix]

dude call them?

[jimbo4222]

Nope, its $1 for each night you have the video.

[blade83336]

are the dvds scratched?

[jimbo4222]

The ones I have rented aren't, but the cases sometimes are, but all of the DVD's i've rented are spotless.

[Generalrecall]

If you lose your credit card you are only responsible for the 1st 50 dollars of illegal purchases, and really if you notice its stolen you should call the credit card company to cancel the card immediately.

if 5 dollars worth a illegal movie rentals will break your bank, maybe you should not have a credit card, you seem to be whining just to be whining.

[vdotmatrix]

GENERAL, you don't get the general message of this video. It isn't really about or for the consumer, it is awareness to a general security issue with REDBOX that they won't address and I was interested if anyone else has seen this. I am covered; I can care less really if you understand or not but thanks for watching! cheers!

[dpshortie]

But doesn't your card company verify the zip code? so it's not the redbox it's how secure your card company is.. .my opinion.

[vdotmatrix]

dude, have you not read all these responses or seen the video? I have used, VISA, MASTERCARD, and AMEX.

TRY IT FOR YOURSELF , then tell REDBOX is all I am trying to get across.....cheers!

[george579]

wait, you can enter any card in the redbox, like a Costco Member Card?

[vdotmatrix]

CREDIT CARD

[DGamerR]

Well here's a question. What billing Zip Code do you use, if it's a VISA or Mastercard Gift Card?

[vdotmatrix]

Dunno. don't have one and I doubt you's be able to use a gift card, or a McDonald's food card. Sorry.

[vdotmatrix]

I used all ZEROS once and ALL 8's.... it is bogus.

[phrox]

after discovering redbox, that was the first thing i tried... used a credit card gift card supplied to me from at&t with less than 2 bucks on it... worked fine

[vdotmatrix]

Well report this to REDBOX is my point to this video....that gift card will probably still come back to you....

[thehilitereel]

You made an obvious point, but renting DVD's won't be the only thing they'll be doing with your credit card ;-)

[vdotmatrix]

i know this :) If i loose my cc, i'll have it covered. this is only in response to red box giving me the run around and telling me this couldn't possibly happen at their vending machines. Even someone who claimed to work for redbox (BURNU2) wanted me to submit the vending machine number(s) thinking it was an isolated maverick machine and by now it probably had been removed...this has been going on for over a year and RED BOX still is in denial...

[kkkcleaners]

Public service announcement ? You are an idiot !

Now folks that steal credit cards have another way to steal, thanks to you the YTUBE BOOB. Warning people about this does nothing fool. Do you really think people loose their credit cards intentionally ? Are people going to me more careful now that you have spilled the beans on this ? What a fool you are.

[vdotmatrix]

This is more for RED BOX to address this security flaw than to illicit mindless spray from malcontents and short sighted first responders, but thanks for your thoughtful input!

[vdotmatrix]

i am sorry to seem contrary..but I have tried this same stunt at 3 different RB machines, one at giant and the 2 at Harris Teeter...so it aint just a machine issue, i beg to differ. and if you see when this video was posted it has been going on for over a year...this aint no prank and but a public service announcement....cheers..

[vdotmatrix]

burnU1: All I can say is BULLSHIT! I live inthe EST. I have tried this inthe morning and inthe evening around 8-9 and i have used VISA, MASTERCARD and AMEX. I have called REDBOX and different people sound all knowledgable alll all and they'll get back to me, but they don't and it still happens. i even got someone in line a head of me and told them to enter some bullshit zip code and it still went through. I think redbox saif the zip code verification wasn't for security as we'd know it.

[dhart1234]

I tried this with my card and would not work. When redbox was asked about this they said this is now fixed.

[vdotmatrix]

Awesome. I'll go today and see. I called them again a week ago as below and they never returned my call....keep posted! thans for the reply

[vdotmatrix]

i tried this again and again it it works with any zip code number you provide and any card.

[CrazyPerson1236]

spiderwalk??

[vdotmatrix]

LOL I know, I know!!!! I am not a reporter and it was really hard for me at least to make this shit up as the film was rolling.

UPDATE!

This fucked up security flaw isn't isolated to my MASTERCARD from my CREDIT uion as some genius from RED BOX CUSTOMER SERVICE researched. I tried entering ALL ZEROS for the zip on my AMERICAN EXPRESS GOLD CARD and it vended the DVD

[abulthuis]

This video is bogus. Redbox is more secure than you think. The entering any zip code is nothing. There are more security measures to avoid anything bad happening. Call customer service and have them explain it. ITS no big deal. And beside what criminal who steals your credit card is going to rent dvds. I think they would go for big ticket items. Duh

[vdotmatrix]

It is an actual video taken of me entering a bogus zip code on my credit card. That is my point, I already called customer service and at the time they had NO explanation. People will run out and buy all sorts of stuff any way they can and get whatever they can that is worth anything; especially if it is from an unmonitored vending machine.

[vdotmatrix]

i rented 3 more videos this week and I 3 different zip codes-3 different times; I entered 11111, 22222, 99999.

still went through.

[gaurdian316]

When is the last time a store clerk asked you for your ID when using a credit card? It's not just Red Box, Vincent. It's the entire money matrix system. If I were to acquire some one else's credit card, the Red Box wouldn't be the first place I'd hit. I think Itunes would be better :)

[vdotmatrix]

I posteda reply a while ago but it didn't post. We were in San Diego this summer and they routinely asked for ID. They did this a couple of times in Naples, FL. Itunes would be great!

[vdotmatrix]

LAZYBUM: It is sad that this type of rip-off mentality steers our way of life anymore. Someone where somewhere will have to pay for your 25 DVD's. Spam, Ripoffs, identity thefts- are you a criminal already? Your moniker says it all.

[Lazybum5]

i know i was just joking. i use these machines a lot and know they don't take gift cards. and don't fucking judge me by my screen name. i am very active everyday. i go biking, roller blading, and jogging (an hour for each activity) i just chose this screen name because my friends changed the name when i wasn't in the room so fuck off.

[vdotmatrix]

Hey lazy bum, no need to trash talk people here, it is only a video for chrissakes. A little touchy aren't you about this?

get a $25 gift credit card and rent 25 dvd's for 1 dollar each enter the fake zip code and then never return the dvd's again and the machine won't be able to bill you.

The Redbox does not take any gift card or anything that has no name on it.

Absolutely not Einstein, there is a security flaw in credit card verification matrix in these machines that has gone yet undetected and unresolved by the vendor. Can you tell me what other payment security flaws are connected with this issue? Do you want to take the time to resolve this if your credit accounts fall into the wrong hands they start racking up charges? This is would be a pain that could be resolved if the vendor addresses this issue; leave your credit card by a red box and we'll c.

If your card is stolen or a charge is not yours, your credit card company will not make you pay for these fraudulent charges. Can I call you Chicken Little?

true but these are usually at major locations at entrances so you could probably have footage to catch the "bad guys." I dont have an account but how does the whole emailing info work because that could possibly be a big issue if criminals are dumb enough to have info sent to their emails? Unless they have an email account that cant be traced to them....

KEYEDE: I suspect you need to have a REDBOX account to fully understand the issue with the subject matter of this video and then in turn, be able make a meaningful response regarding a REDBOX email account. Thanks for viewing. Cheers!
