Please give it up for Tristan Jimmerson, please.
2
Tristan!
3
When I first moved to Minneapolis, everything in my life went horribly wrong.
4
I transferred to a small art school, and my girlfriend wrecked my car, said girlfriend became an ex -girlfriend,
5
and the house I was living in was condemned.
6
I was working for minimum wage in a comic book store during the day
7
and going to my night classes at art school.
8
It was not a high point in my life.
9
But the only thing that kept me going was the thought of spring break.
10
Just one week back home with my parents and friends and away from this life.
11
And I'd been saving.
12
I'd been saving for six months for this trip because when you make minimum wage, saving for anything takes a really long time.
13
And so I finished my last final at school
14
and I went home and celebrated my new bachelorhood by ordering a Domino's pizza, eating it off napkins and playing video games all night
15
and two days later I was packed
16
and I was ready to go home all
17
I had to do was drop my last paycheck off at the bank
18
and I went to the bank and I handed the teller my check
19
and I got the receipt and I flipped it over
20
and on the back my account balance was negative 536 dollars
21
and I felt all the life just drain out of me because I just I couldn't catch a break.
22
And so I asked to see my balance statement, and there they were, two $600 Western Union money transfers, a bunch of random delivery orders,
23
and a $400 charge to a website called inmatecanteen .com.
24
And so I sat down with the banker and she saw
25
that the charges were false and went about trying to reverse them.
26
And while she was doing that, I went and I sat in the lobby, and I started thinking about how unfair identity theft is because
27
when somebody steals your identity they only take the good parts
28
you know they don't they don't take the rat trap apartment
29
and the depression and the shitty job no they just take the one thing
30
that I had been looking looking forward to for the past six months.
31
And while I'm mulling this over, the banker comes back and she tells me that the bank is gonna give me all my money back,
32
but it's gonna take about a week of processing.
33
And so I go home, and I can't get it out of my head, because the bank wasn't gonna do anything about this,
34
and the police weren't gonna do anything about this, and these people that rob you, they don't get caught.
35
Nobody cares enough, but this identity theft was different
36
because this person had messed with the most dangerous type of person that exists, which is someone with limited options and a lot of free time.
37
And so I decided to start my own investigation.
38
And so I took my bank records and I started going through them
39
and I called Western Union and they were no help
40
and I went to inmatecanteen .com and I called the support number but it was
41
disconnected and so all I had were these delivery charges
42
and I noticed something which is that they were they were local
43
and then it hit me the last charge
44
that I had made on my own account was the last night of my finals the night
45
that I ordered that Domino's pizza and I realized that
46
when I read my credit card number over the phone the woman at Domino's must have written it down
47
and used it again the woman at Domino's robbed me this was this was more upsetting
48
because this was someone
49
that could live six blocks from me who spoke to me on the phone and heard my voice
50
someone who I trusted I mean I trusted Domino's out of all the people
51
or things in my life that that could betray me, Domino's was not on the list.
52
And lastly, because I spent years as a delivery driver, and this broke the code of ethics.
53
So this wasn't just a theft, this felt personal.
54
And so I had a suspect, and the next day I marched into that Domino's
55
and I demanded to know who was working the night my identity was stolen.
56
And the manager on duty passed me to his manager, who passed me to his manager,
57
and eventually they told me to come back later and they would have the names for me.
58
So I continued my investigation and I went to a place called the Green Mill, which was a restaurant where some of the delivery,
59
the false delivery charges had taken place.
60
And the manager there was really helpful because there was nothing else to do.
61
And he gave me a week's worth of delivery tickets and I started digging through them looking for a match.
62
And after about 30 minutes, the phone rang and he picked it up and started taking down an order.
63
And then he picks up a piece of paper and starts waving it back and forth, and I come over, and on the paper,
64
is a credit card number.
65
And it's my credit card number.
66
And the person who stole my credit card is on the other end of
67
that phone and the manager is looking at me like, well, what do we do now?
68
And I look him straight in the eyes and I say, give me a topper, a hat, and I will take that delivery.
69
And he looks at me and he says, and that will get me fired.
70
and I say okay maybe that wasn't the best idea tell them
71
that your driver is out sick and that it's pickup only
72
and so he does and he hangs up and he looks at me
73
and he says they'll be here in 15 minutes and
74
so I grab a newspaper and I sit down in a booth
75
and I prop it up and I sit down for my very first stakeout
76
and an agonizing 17 minutes later a car pulls in a woman gets out
77
and comes inside and asks for her pickup order
78
and i start writing down every detail the fact
79
that it's a white lifted chevy tahoe the license plate number what she's wearing
80
and what she looks like and meanwhile she's having a conversation with the manager
81
and he's saying that the card was declined
82
and he needs to run it again
83
but she says she doesn't have it on her
84
and it's in her car and she leaves the restaurant and doesn't come back.
85
And so I asked the manager to do me one more favor.
86
I asked him to star 69 the number she called from
87
and I add that cell phone number to my growing list of evidence.
88
A couple hours later I receive a call from a man who introduces himself as the head of Domino's security
89
and he was calling to apologize, to thank me for my help in the investigation,
90
and to know that once I filed a police report that Domino's had my back.
91
He had also pulled the hours I wanted and had them waiting at the original Domino's shop.
92
So I went back and I picked them up
93
and I started asking questions there and I asked if anyone there drove a white -lifted
94
Chevy Tahoe and the daytime driver said that a girl who worked the night shift did.
95
A girl who matched the description of the person who came
96
into the green mill who was also working the night that my identity was stolen.
97
Lastly I took the cell phone number and gave it to the manager
98
because I didn't want to call it myself and arouse suspicion
99
so he called it and she answered and confirmed her identity condemning herself
100
so next I next I asked to see her application
101
because those places always keep those things on file
102
and at first the manager was wary of the legal things with
103
that but once I assured him that this was for the police report he relented and so
104
So after I've copied down this information, now I have her first middle and last name, her date of birth, her social security number,
105
her driver's license number, I know her car make and model and the license plate number,
106
I know where and when she works and where she lives and her previous job references and her email address.
107
And so I go home and I just, I'm in a frenzy and I can't stop.
108
And so I Google her email address and when you do
109
that you can pull up all of the accounts
110
that you've created with that email address and
111
so I found her eBay account and her Flickr account
112
and her MySpace and her MySpace was set to public
113
and I can see her pictures and her comments and her blogs
114
and I realized that I am going crazy
115
but the thing about going crazy is you can't stop and
116
so I opened one of her blogs called 50 things about me and the very first question is what
117
What is my favorite food?
118
And she wrote, pizza.
119
And so by the time I'm at the end of this list, I realize that I know more about this woman,
120
probably than most of her coworkers and friends, and that this is a real person that I would be sending to jail.
121
But she broke the code.
122
And so I call the cops.
123
And the next day, they send out a police officer to take my report and the fraud report starts out normal.
124
It's just how much money was stolen and when was it stolen and is the bank reimbursing you?
125
And then the last question, almost as an afterthought, was, do you have any additional information which might benefit the case?
126
And I said, why, yes, I do.
127
And I start listing things
128
and the confusion on the officer's face turns to laughter once she hears the full story and she says that,
129
well, you've done my job for me. and I agree.
130
Later on that day I receive a call from the detective now working this case.
131
He says that with all my information he cross -checked it with DOT records
132
and the criminal database and that it all checks out and
133
that by the end of the day there will be a warrant out for this woman's arrest.
134
I tell him that she's going to work tomorrow at Domino's at 5.
135
And after a pause, he says that he'll have a squad car waiting for her.
136
And so lastly, I asked the detective if I can be there.
137
Because I'd done a lot of work on this.
138
And I kind of wanted to see the look on her face
139
that same look of shock and horror that I had
140
when I was standing in that bank and I flipped that receipt over and saw everything I'd saved gone.
141
But he said that was impossible.
142
He did say that if I happened to be walking across the street at around 5 o 'clock, that no one would probably be the wiser.
143
So I got to go undercover one last time.
144
And I found myself standing across the street from that Domino's at 5 o 'clock,
145
squad car parked in back and two officers inside and I saw that white lifted
146
Chevy Tahoe come around the corner and park and her get out
147
and go through the front door
148
and I could see her back arch up she froze
149
and saw the officers because she knew she was caught
150
and then they handcuffed her put her in the back of the squad car
151
and they drove away case closed
152
but then a couple hours later I received one of the most surreal phone calls I've ever gotten my entire life.
153
The man on the other end of the line introduced himself as the CEO of Domino's.
154
He was calling to personally apologize, thank me for my help in the investigation, and I assume avoid a giant lawsuit.
155
And so he asked me how much money was stolen and told me that Domino's would reimburse me for everything.
156
And I told him that the bank was already doing that and that it wasn't about the money.
157
And so he asked me what I wanted.
158
And up until this point I hadn't I hadn't really thought about it, but what do you say?
159
I mean, free pizza for life?
160
A pizza named after me?
161
No, I'd lost my taste for pizza at this point.
162
No, I told him I didn't want this to happen to anyone else.
163
I told him that I wanted him to pursue this to the furthest extent of the law,
164
and that every new Domino's employee that gets hired would hear this story, that if you fuck with credit card information of customers,
165
that you will go to jail and he said he could do
166
that and later I received two letters in the mail the first was a letter
167
that said the woman had pleaded guilty to all charges
168
and will be serving a short prison sentence the second a
169
personal thank -you letter from the CEO of Domino's a check for the the exact amount of money stolen
170
and 500 Domino's Bucks.
171
And I realized that I actually did get everything back that was stolen.
172
The money, yes, but for that week, I wasn't the pathetic, depressed art student.
173
No, for that week, I was Tristan Jimmerson, Private Eye.
174
The gumshoe that knows that revenge, like delivery pizza, is best served cold.
175
Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
