Wow, really? I might need to report my card "lost" so that I can get a new number. Stripe protects that information from the vendor, right?

Though I doubt this kid is going to try to be that brazen, especially since he is using his real name to do this (assuming this isn't a fake identity).

Might request a new number just in case. I really don't trust this asshole anymore.

I wouldn't be too hasty to call him an asshole. Based on his LinkedIn, I think he's just a kid without any work experience and, consequently, without much understanding of professionalism. "FuckPaying" seem to be not that different from one of us wanting to start some kind of Napster when we were young, and I think a lot of grown HN users are probably PopcornTime users...
He's an "assistant instructor" at at least one school/program, and others. This isn't a "kid" if he's teaching other people.

We can't and shouldn't blame potential fraud on simple "youth" for someone who is obviously of an age that he is teaching other people to do these things.
