It could get into a problem if something happens to you and you can't or don't pay the bill for whatever reason. It could be considered fraud and you could go to jail.

Turn the person in, so they know the consequences of illegal acts.
The benefits of having a secondary card holder on a charge account are mostly to the secondary card holder. This person can use the account, but it is the primary person that must pay the bill. Having a secondary person on an account is helpful for providing a credit card in their own names to students and spouses.
