And if you're smart, you nip down to M&S, buy the stuff that's been
ordered from you, pay cash as a loss-leader against your later fraud and
post it out.  Because people will have got the goods, but not been
charged for them, they'll probably adopt the ``best not tell'' policy.
Then even if your scam is exposed, your victims won't associate your
fraudulent use with the free stuff they got from M&S, and even if
_asked_ ``did you get some free stuff from M&S?'' plenty of them will
keep quiet because they'll think the investigator is just after the
money.
