Internet boss gives away $15,000 by projecting his credit card details onto a wall in 10ft-high letters

See the code on the wall , buy for free
Just to make some hope for difficult Chrismas shopping, Bragster gave the code of a credit card to everyone. Projecting it on street walls. One took full advantage bought for $ 10. 000 in a shop.
A web entrepreneur gave away £10,000 to astonished Londoners - by projecting his credit card details onto a wall in 10ft-high letters.
Bertrand Bodson, 33, who runs website Bragster.com, displayed a massive version of his MasterCard on the side of the Bank of England and a corner of Kensington High Street.
The projection gave directions to a website where Bodson had provided his address for telephone and online purchases. The card had £10,000 of credit

Identity thieves of the world unite!
Seriously though... Umm, what the heck? Who gives away their credit card info and personal info like address, tel#, etc.
One would think that he could buy a prepaid Visa gift card (or several) with a high limit, project one or more of those onto billboards or buildings and utterly insulate himself from identity thieves...
Or better yet, buy several gift cards, project a phone number and amount of a gift card on a wall and then mail the gift card to the lucky first caller(s) to leave a VM with contact info.
Definitely a weird / unsafe way he went about it.

mgmirkin....Seriously though... Umm, what the heck? Who gives away their credit card info and personal info like address, tel#, etc. This is a £ 10.000 limited UK card, when empty you close the card (different in US and Continental Europe) The Idea behind is to get something going in crisis christmas times. Another British car dealer sold two Lincoln cars for the price of One. Or Amazon gives away $10.000 on Internet buyers for Christmas. The Brits need something challenging to react, that's what happened and cheap advertising for the WEB company too.
