A cashier with a photographic memory has been arrested for memorizing 1,300 credit cards and going on a shopping spree.

Yusuke Taniguchi, 34, who was recently arrested, committed the crime while he was working at a mall in Koto City in Tokyo.

Japan Today reports that Taniguchi used credit card information to finance his basic living expenses and purchase luxury items online.

Police were tipped off after Taniguchi purchased an expensive pair of shoulder bags totalling over $2,500, and had the bags delivered to his apartment.

According to Police, whenever a customer would pay by credit card, the suspect allegedly memorized their 16-digit-number, name, expiry date, and security code, all in the time it took to process their purchase.

During a search at his apartment, Police said they found a notebook containing the hundreds of names and numbers and are currently linking them to past incidents to determine the scope of his alleged crimes.

It was also reported that Mr Yusuke was using an apparent eidetic memory often called a “photographic memory” to memorize people’s information on their credit cards.

  2. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup?

    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it

  3. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright
    violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it
    looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web
    without my permission. Do you know any techniques to
    help stop content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  6. This is the right blog for anybody who really wants to find out about this topic.
    You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally would want
    to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that
    has been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!

  7. Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering
    if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have
    no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from
    someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing issues with your website.

    It seems like some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen. Can someone
    else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
    This could be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
    Appreciate it

  9. Heya excellent blog! Does running a blog similar to this require a large amount of work?
    I’ve virtually no understanding of coding but I had been hoping
    to start my own blog soon. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off topic but I simply wanted to ask.

    Thanks!
