A KIDDERMINSTER shop assistant obtained a customer's details off her credit card and used them to order more than £5,000 worth of goods on the internet.
Michael Armstrong arranged for them to be sent to Dilmore House Hotel, Fernhill Heath, near Worcester, where he had spent one night but the manager became suspicious, said David Munro, prosecuting.
He had been working at Blockbuster Video in Kidderminster when the scam was carried out. He was now a bus driver.
Armstrong, 21, of Worcester, who admitted eight charges of attempted theft, was ordered to carry out 150 hours of work for the community and pay £514 costs.
Miss Abigail Nixon, defending, said all the ordered items had been recovered.
