Credit card thief sent victim flowers with a thank you note

A cold-hearted thief in Rhode Island has a message for the woman he scammed: Thanks for the money.


Stephanie Marisca, from Narragansett, R.I., said she received a £65 bouquet of flowers with a thank you note a few weeks after Bank of America alerted her that someone had charged nearly $2,500 to her credit card.

The handwritten note read: "thnx for ur money." The victim said she was horrified and insulted. "Someone had the nerve to steal someone's card and then say 'Thank you?'" Police said they were working to track down the thief, who used the woman's card for the online shopping spree.



The bank said it had closed the account and wouldn't hold Marsica responsible for the charges. Still, the mocking gesture stung. "Sending the flowers, rubbing it in her face, I think that's horrible," a neighbour said.
