Fraud is something I have been doing for many years, even before internet fraud
|
||
was a thing. So it is safe to say I have a vast knowledge and experience in this
|
||
business. I have written this tutorial with the intention of helping beginners and
|
||
even advanced fraudsters take their operations to the absolute next level. I have
|
||
included most if not all of my knowledge from this part of the business in this
|
||
guide. For many of you who have read my previous tutorials, I’m sure you are
|
||
already familiar with my tendency to go much in-depth over everything and I plan
|
||
on keeping that same level of quality on this tutorial as well. This guide is amazing
|
||
for advanced fraudsters who want to make a lot more money. Beginners who are
|
||
just starting out in the online fraud business will also find this guide extremely
|
||
helpful to kickstart their journey as many of the things I will go over are used every
|
||
single day during different fraud operations and will be valid for many years to
|
||
come. I recommend you DO NOT skip any chapters of this guide, even if you are
|
||
already familiar with the topic being discussed. Every chapter has its own equal
|
||
importance and skipping chapters are for lazy people who do not want to learn. If
|
||
you do not learn in this business, you WILL fail. Success requires patience and
|
||
perseverance so keep that in mind.
|
||
FRAUD DICTIONARY
|
||
FULLZ: This is someone’s entire data cluster and it’s what is used to create bank
|
||
drop accounts, and for setting up payment processors on fake online stores. This
|
||
could also be used for many different things such as conducting an ATO (Account-
|
||
Take-Over) on someone’s bank account, opening new lines of credit under their
|
||
name, and much more. Fullz are extremely valuable information to us and in fact a
|
||
NECESSITY to be able to open bank drops. Fullz usually comprise of Background
|
||
Checks, Credit Reports, Credit Scores, Full Names, Addresses, Social Security
|
||
Number (SSN), Date of Birth (DOB), Driver’s License Numbers, and more.

|
||
|
||
CVV: This can either be someone’s full credit card details, or someone’s full debit
|
||
card details. CVV is simply a fraud slang for credit/debit card details, there’s not
|
||
much to it. We can use these details to “card” information on someone online,
|
||
such as background or credit reports that can be used for various purposes such as
|
||
opening bank drops and conducting an ATO (Account-Take-Over) on the victim’s
|
||
bank account, or we can use these CVV details to order physical/digital products
|
||
that will be sent to a drop address.
|
||
CVV DUMPS: A credit card dump, is an unauthorized digital copy of all the
|
||
information contained in the magnetic strip of an active credit card, created with
|
||
the intention of illegally making a fake credit card that can be used by
|
||
cybercriminals to make purchases. Credit card dumps are used by fraudsters to
|
||
capture valuable card data such as the card number and expiration date. These can
|
||
be obtained in a number of ways. The most popular method nowadays is
|
||
“skimming”, a process in which an illegal card reader is used to copy the data from
|
||
a credit card. Other methods include hacking into a retailer’s network or when a
|
||
malware-infected point-of-sale device is unwittingly used by a retailer, sending the
|
||
information to the criminals.
|
||
DUMPS SERVICE CODE: Many fraudsters think that there are only 2 types of
|
||
dumps, 101 and 201. The truth is there are many other types of dumps. Carders
|
||
usually work with either 101 or 201 but the majority will prefer 101. This is known
|
||
as the SERVICE CODE of a dump. The service code contains 3 characters and you
|
||
can find a dump service code just by looking at a dump, regardless of the fact if it
|
||
has both TRACK1+TRACK2 or just TRACK2. Example, let’s say we’re looking at the
|
||
dump 4256 746500930321=1402101700102054. The service code of this dump is
|
||
101, which is located right after the expiration date of the card, which in this case
|
||
is 1402 (FEB 2014). The value of the service code determines where the cards are
|
||
suitable to be used and in what way. Below is a detailed explanation of each
|
||
service code available today.
|
||
First digit (usage variables):
|
||
- 1xx: Worldwide use, usually doesn’t have a smart chip.
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
- 2xx: Worldwide use, does have a smart chip and required to use smart chip if the
|
||
card reader reads the chip
|
||
- 5xx: National use, a list of regions can be allowed by the bank (often called region
|
||
locks).
|
||
- 6xx: National use, a list of regions can be allowed by the bank but required to use
|
||
smart chip if the card reader reads the chip
|
||
- 7xx: Only useable according to what has been agreed with the bank
|
||
Second digit (authorization)
|
||
- x0x: Normal authorization, normal usage.
|
||
- x2x: Contact issuing bank.
|
||
- x4x: Contact issuing bank, exceptions rules by bank.
|
||
Third digit (services that the card can be used for):
|
||
- xx0: Can be used for anything, require PIN.
|
||
- xx1: Can be used for anything without PIN.
|
||
- xx2: Can be used to buy goods or pay a service, cannot retrieve cash, PIN not
|
||
required.
|
||
- xx3: ATM only ,PIN required.
|
||
- xx4: Cash only, PIN not required.
|
||
- xx5: Can be used to buy goods or pay a service, cannot retrieve cash. PIN
|
||
required
|
||
- xx6: No restrictions to use, will ask for PIN when possible.
|
||
- xx7: Can be used to buy goods or pay a service, cannot retrieve cash. PIN
|
||
required when possible.
|
||
TRACK1+TRACK2 DATA: There are up to three tracks on magnetic cards known as
|
||
tracks 1, 2, and 3. Track 3 is virtually unused by the major worldwide networks,
|
||
and often isn’t even physically present on the card by virtue of a narrower
|
||
magnetic stripe. Point-of-sale card readers almost always read track 1, or track 2,
|
||
and sometimes both, in case one track is unreadable. The minimum cardholder
|
||
account information needed to complete a transaction is present on both tracks.
|
||
Track 1 has a higher bit density, is the only track that may contain alphabetic text,
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
and hence is the only track that contains the cardholder’s name. The information
|
||
on track 1 on financial cards is contained in several formats that goes from A to M.
|
||
The “A” is only used by the bank itself, so we do not need to pay much attention to
|
||
it. The “B” is where the holder’s financial information is stored, the most
|
||
important section of the magnetic stripe. C to M, is used for the ANSI
|
||
Subcommittee X3B10, and N to Z is the information that is available for use of
|
||
individual card issuers. This is how the track 1 looks like.
|
||
%B5XXXXXXXXXXXXXX2^GEORGENULL/MAX^110310100000000100000000300000
|
||
0?;
|
||
• % for Start Sentinel
|
||
• B for Bank Type Credit Card
|
||
• 5XXXXXXXXXXXXXX2 is the Primary Account Number, which in most cases is
|
||
the number printed on the front of the card, but not always.
|
||
• ^ is the separator
|
||
• GEORGENULL is the card holder’s last name
|
||
• / is the separator
|
||
• MAX is the card holder’s first name
|
||
• ^ another separator
|
||
• 11 expiration year, 03 expiration month
|
||
• 101 SERVICE CODE
|
||
• 0000000010000000003000000 is the discretionary data
|
||
• ? is the end
|
||
So now that you’ve seen the information that is stored in track 1 and the letter
|
||
containers, you should have already figured out that credit card dumps are mainly
|
||
the first 2 tracks.
|
||
Track 2 data is used by ATMs, physical payment processors and in any online
|
||
website. There are a lot of components in this track, the layout is shown below.
|
||

|
||
|
||
| START SENTINEL | PRIMARY ACCOUNT NUMBER | FIELD SEPARATOR |
|
||
ADDITIONAL DATA | END SENTINEL | LONGITUDE REDUNDANCY CHECK |
|
||
With a more in-depth examination of the data, you can see how a credit card
|
||
number and holder’s main information is stored into the track 2 data.
|
||
5XXXXXXXXXXXXXX2=1103200XXXX00000000?* ^^ ^^ ^ ^ ^^ ||_ CARD NUMBER
|
||
|| | |_ ENCRYPTED||_ LRC |_ START SENTINEL|| | PIN*** |_ END SENTINEL || |_
|
||
SERVICE CODE FIELD SEPARATOR _||_ EXPIRATION
|
||
Now let’s break it down.
|
||
• ; : Start Sentinel
|
||
• 5XXXXXXXXXXXXXX2: Primary account number, the PAN. This would be the
|
||
credit card number you always see printed on the front of the plastic.
|
||
• 1103: Expiry Date. Always year first then month.
|
||
• 200: Service code.
|
||
• XXXX00000000: Discretionary data, which includes the PIN verification, the
|
||
card verification value and the last 3 digits on the back of the card aka the
|
||
CSC/CVV2 code.
|
||
• ?: The End Sentinel
|
||
• With ^^ ^^ ^ ^ ^^ begins the track 3 data, which as said previously is
|
||
completely useless.
|
||
Most carders and hackers, will only seek out the TR1 and TR2 data. That’s where
|
||
the term CVV dumps comes from.
|
||
WEB/ONLINE WALLETS: This is a program or web service that allows users to store
|
||
and control their online shopping information, like logins, passwords, shipping
|
||
address and credit card/bank details, in one central place. It also provides a
|
||
convenient and technologically quick method for consumers to purchase products
|
||
from any person or store across the globe. Such examples of web wallets are
|
||
PayPal, Google Wallet, and Venmo. We can use such wallets for many purposes
|
||
that will be discussed in further guides.
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
SKIMMER: This is a device made to be affixed to the mouth of an ATM and secretly
|
||
swipe credit and debit card information when bank customers slip their cards into
|
||
the machines to pull out money. Skimmers have been around for years, of course,
|
||
but fraudsters are constantly improving them. Card skimming accounts for more
|
||
than 80 percent of ATM fraud. Some sophisticated skimmers are even able to
|
||
transmit stolen data via text message.
|
||
EMBOSSER: A device that stamps the cards to produce the raised lettering where
|
||
the CVV holder’s name is, card number, etc…
|
||
TIPPER: A device that adds the gold/silver accents to the embossed characters.
|
||
MSR (MAGNETIC STRIPE READER/WRITER): Used by fraudsters to write dumps
|
||
into actual physical blank cards or gift cards (and driver’s licenses, student IDs,
|
||
etc..). If you want to use blank white cards, you will need a printer for the card
|
||
template, embosser and tipper, which can be pretty expensive, however it is worth
|
||
it if you know how to correctly use these things.
|
||
POS (POINT-OF-SALE) SYSTEM: This is the time and place where a retail
|
||
transaction is completed. At the point of sale, the merchant calculates the amount
|
||
owed by the customer, indicates that amount, may prepare an invoice for the
|
||
customer (which may be a cash register printout), and indicates the options for the
|
||
customer to make payment. It is also the point at which a customer makes a
|
||
payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or after provision of a service.
|
||
After receiving payment, the merchant may issue a receipt for the transaction.
|
||
ACH: This stands for Automated Clearing House, which is an electronic network for
|
||
financial transactions in the United States. ACH processes large volumes of credit
|
||
and debit transactions in batches. ACH credit transfers include direct deposit,
|
||
payroll and vendor payments. Moving money and information from one bank
|
||
account to another is done through Direct Deposit or via ACH transactions, credit
|
||
or debit. This is used a lot by fraudsters to siphon money out of the bank accounts
|
||
of unsuspecting victims, which is extremely easy.
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
PAYMENT PROCESSORS: A payment processor is a company (often a third party)
|
||
appointed by a merchant to handle transactions from various channels such as
|
||
credit cards and debit cards for merchant acquiring banks. They are usually broken
|
||
down into two types: front-end and back-end. Front-end processors have
|
||
connections to various card associations and supply authorization and settlement
|
||
services to the merchant banks’ merchants. Back-end processors accept
|
||
settlements from front-end processors and, via The Federal Reserve Bank for
|
||
example, move the money from the issuing bank to the merchant bank. In an
|
||
operation that will usually take a few seconds, the payment processor will both
|
||
check the details received by forwarding them to the respective card’s issuing bank
|
||
or card association for verification, and also carry out a series of anti-fraud
|
||
measures against the transaction. Additional paraments, including the card’s
|
||
country of issue and its previous payment history, are also used to gauge the
|
||
probability of the transaction being approved. Once the payment processor has
|
||
received confirmation that the credit card details have been verified, the
|
||
information will be relayed back via the payment gateway to the merchant, who
|
||
will then complete the payment transaction. If verification is denied by the card
|
||
association, the payment processor will relay the information to the merchant,
|
||
who will then decline the transaction. Such examples of payment processors are
|
||
Square, PayPal, Stripe and Flint
|
||
PAYMENT GATEWAYS: This is a merchant service provided by an e-commerce
|
||
website that authorizes credit card or direct payments processing for e-businesses,
|
||
online retailers, or traditional brick and mortar stores. The payment gateway may
|
||
be provided by a bank to its customers but can be provided by a specialized
|
||
financial service provider as a separate service. It facilitates a payment transaction
|
||
by the transfer of information between a payment portal (such as a website,
|
||
mobile phone or interactive voice response service) and the front-end processor or
|
||
acquiring bank. Here’s how a typical transaction plays out.
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
1. A customer places an order on a website by pressing the “Submit Order” or
|
||
equivalent button, or perhaps enters their card details using an automatic
|
||
phone answering service.
|
||
2. If the order is via a website, the customer’s web browser encrypts the
|
||
information to be sent between the browser and the merchant’s webserver.
|
||
In between other methods, this may be done via SSL encryption. The
|
||
payment gateway may allot transaction data to be sent directly from the
|
||
customer’s browser to the gateway, bypassing the merchant’s systems. This
|
||
reduces the merchant’s Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
|
||
compliance obligations without redirecting the customer away from the
|
||
website.
|
||
3. The merchant then forwards the transaction details to their payment
|
||
gateway.
|
||
4. The payment gateway converts the message from XML to ISO 8583 or a
|
||
variant message format and then forwards the transaction information to the
|
||
payment processor used by the merchant’s acquiring bank.
|
||
5. The payment processor forwards the transaction information to the card
|
||
association (e.g. Visa/Mastercard/AMEX). If an American Express or Discover
|
||
Card was used, then the card association also acts as the issuing bank and
|
||
directly provides a response of approved or declined to the payment
|
||
gateway. Otherwise, the card association routes the transaction to the
|
||
correct card issuing bank.
|
||
6. The credit card issuing bank receives the authorization request, verifies the
|
||
credit or debit available and then sends a response back to the processor
|
||
with a response code (approved or denied). In addition to communicating
|
||
the fate of the authorization request, the response code is also used to
|
||
define the reason why the transaction failed (e.g. insufficient funds, or bank
|
||
link not available). Meanwhile, the credit card issuer holds an authorization
|
||
associated with that merchant and consumer for the approved amount. This
|
||
can impact the consumer’s ability to spend further (because it reduces the
|
||
line of credit available or it puts a hold on a portion of the funds in a debit
|
||
account).
|
||
7. The processor forwards the authorization response to the payment gateway.
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
8. The payment gateway receives the response, and forwards it on to the
|
||
website (or whatever interface was used to process the payment) where it is
|
||
interpreted as a relevant response then relayed back to the merchant and
|
||
cardholder. This is known as the Authorization or “Auth”
|
||
9. This entire process typically takes 2-3 seconds.
|
||
WEB DOMAIN: This is traditionally known as the name or URL of a website and is
|
||
sometimes called the host name. The host name is a more memorable name to
|
||
stand in for the numeric, and hard to remember, IP address of a website. This
|
||
allows the website visitors to find and return to a web page more easily. It also
|
||
allows advertisers the ability to give a website a memorable name that visitors will
|
||
remember and come to, hopefully leading to conversions for the web page. The
|
||
flexibility of website domains allows several IP addresses to be linked to the same
|
||
website domain, thus giving a website several different pages while remaining at
|
||
the easily remembered address.
|
||
VIRTUAL CARDING: This is the process of purchasing physical or digital goods
|
||
online using someone else’s credit/debit card details.
|
||
PHYSICAL CARDING: This is the process of purchasing physical goods by going to
|
||
an actual physical store in-person and using pre-made credit cards with dumps
|
||
punched in them to conduct the fraudulent transactions. Transactions are also
|
||
possible to be conducted with an Android phone using NFC payments with
|
||
TR1+TR2 data.
|
||
CARDING: Term used when referring to using someone else’s CVV details to
|
||
conduct a fraudulent purchase on an online website or physically in person in a
|
||
store using DUMPS. Example, we can CARD a cellphone using someone else’s
|
||
details through Amazon, or CARD a $400 belt at a Gucci Store using dumps that
|
||
were punched into a blank card using devices specifically made for such purposes.
|
||
CARD HOLDER: The owner of the CVV that we’re using to conduct the fraudulent
|
||
transaction.
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
BILLING ADDRESS: An address directly attached to a CVV. This is where the card
|
||
holder’s bank sends his bills, hence the name BILLING.
|
||
SHIPPING/MAILING ADDRESS: An address used exclusively to receive mail. Most
|
||
websites do not allow transactions to be accepted if the billing address on a credit
|
||
card and the shipping address provided to the website are different.
|
||
AVS & NON-AVS: AVS stands for Address Verification System. This is a system used
|
||
to verify the address of a person claiming to own a credit card. The system will
|
||
check the billing address of the credit card provided by the user with the address
|
||
on file at the credit card company. AVS is used by mostly all merchants in the US,
|
||
Canada, and UK. Because AVS only verifies the numeric portion of the address,
|
||
certain anomalies like apartment numbers can cause false declines; however, it is
|
||
reported to be a rare occurrence. AVS verifies the numeric portions of a
|
||
cardholder’s billing address. For example, if the address is 101 Main Street,
|
||
Highland, CA 92346, United States, AVS will check 101 and 92346. Cardholders
|
||
may receive false negatives, or partial declines for AVS from e-commerce
|
||
verification systems, which may require manual overrides, voice authorization, or
|
||
reprogramming of the AVS entries by the card issuing bank. Cardholders with a
|
||
bank that does not support AVS may receive an error from Internet stores due to
|
||
lack of data. All countries besides UK, US & Canada, are NON-AVS.
|
||
VBV & NON-VBV: This is an XML-based protocol designed to be an additional
|
||
security layer for online credit and debit card transactions. VBV stands for Verified
|
||
by Visa. This is used to validate the card holder’s identity and prevent fraudulent
|
||
transactions. It works by asking for additional information either from the card
|
||
holder directly or by analyzing data behind the scenes to see if the purchase fits
|
||
the usual payment behavior. When a website and a card have Verified by Visa, a
|
||
message box pops up on screen after you have entered the Visa card details. You
|
||
are then asked to identify yourself with your Verified by Visa password or a code
|
||
sent to your phone. What you need to do at this stage varies but your bank will tell
|
||
you about the method they use and what they expect from you. If you don’t notice
|
||
10
|
||
|
||
the VBV message box appearing but instead see a revolving wheel, all the security
|
||
associated with VBV is still happening but in the background. And you don’t need
|
||
to do anything. The bank is verifying the purchase by making background checks to
|
||
see that everything is at it should be. Any Visa card that does not have the above
|
||
feature in place, is known as NON-VBV and you should ultimately look for NON-
|
||
VBV cards instead of VBV, because as you can see this verification process is a
|
||
huge hassle.
|
||
MASTERCARD SECURECODE (MCSC): MasterCard SecureCode is very much similar
|
||
to Visa’s VBV. It is a private code for a MasterCard account that gives the card
|
||
holder an additional layer of online shopping security. Only the card holder and
|
||
the financial institution know what the code is, merchants are not able to see it.
|
||
Fortunately, the majority of MasterCard cards do not have this security in place.
|
||
AMERICAN EXPRESS SAFEKEY: This is one of the least used security measures
|
||
around, and it is not even available in the United States. However, it is the same
|
||
thing as MasterCard SecureCode and Visa’s VBV.
|
||
NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC): NFC technology lets smartphones and other
|
||
enabled devices communicate with other devices containing an NFC tag. It is
|
||
widely used as a payment method, all you have to do is swipe your smartphone at
|
||
the checkout in any store, and most stores support NFC. Apple Pay for example,
|
||
uses NFC.
|
||
SSN: Social Security Number. This is a nine-digit number issued to U.S. citizens,
|
||
permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents in the United States.
|
||
Although its primary purpose is to track individuals for Social Security purposes,
|
||
the Social Security number has become the national identification number for
|
||
taxation and other purposes. SSN is frequently used by those involved in identity
|
||
theft, since it is interconnected with many other forms of identification, and
|
||
because people asking for it treat as an authenticator. Financial institutions
|
||
generally require an SSN to set up bank accounts, credit cards, and loans-partly
|
||
because they assume that no one except the person it was issued to knows it.
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
MMN: Mother’s Maiden Name. This is the name of someone’s mother BEFORE
|
||
they got married, that is, her name with her original family name (or “surname”),
|
||
the name she used when she was a girl and a young woman. “Maiden” here means
|
||
“unmarried woman”. So “maiden name” refers to a woman’s name when she was
|
||
still an unmarried woman. In many cultures, when a woman gets married, she
|
||
takes the family name of her husband’s family, so her name changes. Example, let
|
||
us say your mother’s name was Mary and she was born into the Smith family. Her
|
||
maiden name would be “Mary Smith”. Then, let us say, she married your father,
|
||
whose name was Tom Jones. When she married him, she became Mary Jones.
|
||
That is her married name, but her maiden name will always be Mary Smith. This is
|
||
one of the most important aspects to conducting successful transactions online for
|
||
high value products, as most banks ask this as a security question for making any
|
||
changes to the account.
|
||
DOB: Date of Birth. This is one of the most important pieces of information you
|
||
can get on your victim. The reason for that because with the date of birth, full
|
||
name and hometown, you can easily find the person’s SSN. And also because you
|
||
need this information if the bank ever asks you for it.
|
||
MAIL DROP: A mail drop is a location where you are able to freely receive illegal
|
||
products that were either carded, or drugs. You never want to use your own house
|
||
for these purposes as it will bring a lot of headache for you in the future. With a
|
||
mail drop, you can use it let’s say a month, and never show your face there again.
|
||
This will make extremely hard for any law enforcement official to track you down
|
||
and arrest you or conduct an investigation into your life.
|
||
BIN: Bank Identification Number. This is the first four to six numbers that appear
|
||
on a credit card. The bank identification number uniquely identifies the institution
|
||
issuing the card. The BIN is key in the process of matching transactions to the
|
||
issuer of the charge card. This numbering system also applies to charge cards, gift
|
||
cards, debit cards, prepaid cards and even electronic benefit cards. This numbering
|

system helps identify identity theft or potential security breaches by comparing
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
data, such as the address of the institution issuing the card and the address of the
|
||
cardholder. The first digit of the BIN specifies the Major Industry Identifier, such as
|
||
airline, banking or travel, and the next five digits specify the issuing institution or
|
||
bank. For example, the MII for a Visa credit card starts with a 4. The BIN helps
|
||
merchants evaluate and assess their payment card transactions. After submitting
|
||
the first four to six digits of the card, the online retailer can detect which
|
||
institution issued the customer’s card, the card brand (such as Visa or
|
||
MasterCard), the card level (such as corporate or platinum), the card type (such as
|
||
debit card or a credit card), and the issuing bank country. BINs can be check

PROXY SERVER: Every time you reach out to a website or connect with anyone
|
||
online, your online connection gives your computer “address” to the site/person
|
||
you’re connecting with. This is so that the other end knows how to send
|
||
information back to your computer. That address is your public IP address. IP
|
||
stands for Internet Protocol and you can check yours by going to whoer.net.
|
||
Without an IP address, you wouldn’t be able to do any Internet/online activity and
|
||
others online wouldn’t be able to reach you. It is how you connect to the world.
|
||
Your IP address comes from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Unfortunately,
|
||
there are a lot of privacy concerns when it comes to public IP addresses such as
|
||
• Your IP address identifies where you are in the world, sometimes to the
|
||
street level.
|
||
• It can be used by websites to block you from accessing their content.
|
||
• It ultimately ties your name and home address to your IP address, because
|
||
someone is paying for an Internet connection at a specific location.
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
A proxy lets you go online under a different IP address identity. You don’t change
|
||
your Internet provider; you simply get a proxy server. A proxy server is a computer
|
||
on the web that redirects your web browsing activity. Here’s what that means.
|
||
• Normally, when you type in a website name (Amazon.com or any other),
|
||
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) makes the request for you and connects
|
||
you with the destination-and reveals your real IP address, as mentioned
|
||
before.
|
||
• When you use a proxy, your online requests get rerouted.
|
||
• While using a proxy, your Internet request goes from your computer to your
|
||
ISP as usual, but then gets sent to the proxy server, and then to the
|
||
website/destination. Along the way, the proxy uses the IP address you chose
|
||
in your setup, masking your real IP address.
|
||
Proxy servers are commonly used by identity thieves to fake their location to the
|
||
cardholder’s billing address. The reason for that is because some websites will not
|
||
allow a transaction to be accepted, if the purchase is being made from a location
|
||
much farther away than the cardholder’s billing address.
|
||
BANK DROPS: Bank drops are bank accounts that are opened specifically for the
|
||
purpose of storing your dirty funds. Once you open them, you can decide whether
|
||
you wish to withdraw the funds directly from the account as cash by going to the
|
||
bank ATM, or possibly clean them with specific methods, and only after cleaning
|
||
them, cashing them out (my preferred method and much safer). It is important to
|
||
mention also, that all bank drop accounts, are opened ONLY with the information
|
||
of someone else (aka FULLZ), so there is absolutely no possibility of these dirty
|
||
funds ever being traced back to your real identity. To open one of these bank drop
|
||
accounts, you will usually require the person’s DOB + SSN + DL + BACKGROUND
|
||
CHECK + FULL CREDIT REPORT + MVR/DRIVING RECORD for maximum success.

|
||
PROXY SCORE: When it comes to fraud detection, finding proxies is a big topic.
|
||
Fraud detection begins with thinking intelligently about the IP address associated
|
||
with a transaction. Where is that IP address, and how does that location relate to
|
||
other transaction data? Whereas most IP addresses inspire confidence, those
|
||
associated with a proxy generate suspicion. As the name suggests, a proxy acts as
|
||
an intermediary, passing requests from one computer to other servers. But
|
||
although there are legitimate uses of proxies, fraudsters are well known to use
|
||
proxies. Detecting proxies comes with two challenges. The first is how to recognize
|
||
an IP address as a proxy. The second is how to distinguish a “good” proxy from a
|
||
“bad” one; since by definition, a proxy is merely an intermediary, a proxy is not
|
||
high risk in and of itself. To consider how best to address these challenges, it’s
|
||
helpful to look to the primary goal of ecommerce fraud detection: thinking
|
||
intelligently about the IP address associated with a transaction in order to assess
|
||
risk. Fraud detection uses transaction data as the basis for this thinking and risk
|
||
assessment. Using this data and analysis, they’re able to gain insight into the kind
|
||
of traffic on a particular IP address. The Proxy Score, is a summary of risk
|
||
associated with an IP address. You want this to be as low as possible (0.80 MAX).
|
||
Anything above 0.80, you should move on and look for another proxy as that will
|
||
lead to a declined transaction 70-80% of the time. You can check your proxy score
|
||
on the websites below. Ideally you want the lowest proxy score that you can find, I
|
||
have used RDPs with a proxy score of 0.01 many times.

|
||
FRAUD SCORE: Every online transaction is given what is called a “Fraud Score”.
|
||
This is a number ranging between 0 and 999. It gives the merchant a number from
|
||
which he can determine if a given transaction is fraudulent or not. Transactions
|
||
that are given high fraud scores (over 300), are placed under manual verification
|
||
by an agent, who will decide if they contact the cardholder or let it through. Scores
|
||
15
|
||
|
||
over 500 with auto-decline, will block the card and an agent will immediately
|
||
contact the cardholder. Some banks have different criterias but certain things that
|
||
can affect the fraud score are:
|
||
• Comparison with the usual spending pattern of the cardholder
|
||
• Location of the charge
|
||
• Amount
|
||
• Risk factor associated with the merchant
|
||
For example, a $15.56 charge in the cardholder’s local Walmart will not trigger
|
||
anything, while a purchase of $2000 on Newegg will have an extremely high fraud
|
||
score and probably auto-decline if the cardholder rarely makes purchases online.
|
||
RISK SCORE: This is a percentage given to each transaction that ranges from 0.00%
|
||
to 100.00%. The factors that determine this score are whether an IP address,
|
||
email, device and proxy used are high risk or low risk. This is determined by fraud
|
||
systems that websites have in place such as MaxMind, which establishes the
|
||
reputations of IP addresses, emails, geolocation and other parameters. This should
|
||
always be checked before purchasing an RDP. Anything above 1.00% will lead to
|
||
declined transactions most of the time.
|
||
MAC ADDRESS: Whether you work in a wired network, or a wireless one, one
|
||
thing is common for both environments. It takes both network software and
|
||
hardware (cables, routers, etc.) to transfer data from your computer to another-or
|
||
from a computer thousands of miles away to yours. In the end, to get the data you
|
||
want right to YOU, it comes down to addresses. So not surprisingly, along with an
|
||
IP address, there’s also a hardware address. Typically, it is tied to a key connection
|
||
device in your computer called the network interface card, or NIC. The NIC is
|
||
essentially a computer circuit card that makes it possible for your computer to
|
||
connect to a network. An NIC turns data into an electrical signal that can be
|
||
transmitted over the network.
|
||
16
|
||
|
||
Every NIC has a hardware address that’s known as a MAC, for Media Access
|
||
Control. Where IP addresses are associated with TCP/IP (networking software),
|
||
MAC addresses are linked to the hardware of network adapters. A MAC address is
|
||
given to a network adapter when it is manufactured. It is hardwired or hard-coded
|
||
onto your computer’s network interface card (NIC) and is unique to it.
|
||
Unfortunately, a MAC address can be used by law enforcement in combination
|
||
with Internet Service Providers, to find someone’s true location and consequently
|
||
his identity. Further in this guide I will explain how to mitigate this risk.
|
||
VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN): An essential step of conducting a successful
|
||
fraudulent transaction, is having a VPN. Most of you already know what this is, but
|
||
for those of you who don’t, VPNs are used to funnel your entire traffic to an
|
||
encrypted tunnel. This way, none of your traffic is able to be captured by your ISP
|
||
or an attacker, and consequently sniffed upon. Nor can your real location be
|
||
revealed if you are using a good and reliable VPN that prevents DNS leaks. This will
|
||
be discussed in more detail further in this guide.
|
||
RDP: Remote Desktop Protocol. This is a protocol developed my Microsoft, which
|
||
provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a
|
||
network connection. You can for example, be using a Linux machine, and connect
|
||
to a Windows 7 RDP. RDPs are absolutely essential to conducting a successful
|
||
fraudulent transaction, especially HACKED RESIDENTIAL RDPs. The reason for that
|
||
is because these RDPs are from a REAL PERSON, with a REAL LOCATION/IP, and
|
||
REAL COMPUTER and BROWSER FINGERPRINT. They will exponentially increase
|
||
your success rate. They will also be discussed in more detail further in this guide.
|
||
SOCKS5: This is a proxy server that allows us to fake our real location. This is very
|
||
good if let’s say, we have a credit card with a billing address in Miami, we can use a
|
||
SOCKS5 near the billing address in Miami so that the website we are conducting
|
||
the fraudulent transaction in doesn’t raise our fraud score because the transaction
|
||
17
|
||
|
||
is being conducted in another state/far away from the credit card’s billing address
|
||
as this will lead to a declined transaction most of the time.
|
||
VIRTUAL MACHINE: This is an emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines
|
||
are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical
|
||
computer. They allow you to run an operating system using an app window on
|
||
your desktop that behaves like a full, separate computer. The most used software
|
||
for virtual machines are respectively, Virtual Box and VMWare. Unfortunately,
|
||
they are not as reliable as using an RDP, but they are very good to CONNECT to an
|
||
RDP, so as to leave no traces on your original computer. Windows and OS X are
|
||
still not reliable enough in the aspect of leaving no traces, as the virtual machine in
|
||
these operating systems, will leak information to the host OS, and consequently
|
||
leave a lot of illegal evidence/traces on your computer that could later be used as
|
||
potential evidence in an investigation. However, you should never let it get to that
|
||
point the first place.
|
||
This is the most important aspect of being a successful fraudster. The reason for
|
||
this is because there’s no point in doing all of this, if we’re going to eventually be
|
||
caught, and have all of your assets seized by the government. Unfortunately, the
|
||
United States doesn’t take these things lightly, and they will do everything they
|
||
can to persecute cybercriminals and put them in jail, which most of the time are
|
||
given sentences of over 10 years in jail for minor offenses. They are the biggest
|
||
and most powerful nation in the entire world, and their resources are absolutely
|
||
endless. We MUST take every precaution possible to mitigate any of these risks
|
||
and to make sure our hard work will never be taken from us by such governments.
|
||
Even if you do not live in the United States, you should still very much worry about
|
||
them as they are involved in pretty much every single international issue that
|
||
occurs, especially in cybercrime cases.
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
I have written an extensive guide over 100 pages long on just the topic of OPSEC
|
||
and creating your perfect fraud expert setup for maximum success, and security
|
||
against such adversaries, of which I am currently selling for $25 ONLY for a limited
|
||
time. If you are any serious about doing this business and following my guidance, I
|
||
HIGHLY recommend you purchase my guide and follow each and every step
|
||
outlined in it to secure yourself to the max. Remember, if you want to be a
|
||
criminal, then do your homework, or don’t be a criminal.
|
||
With that said, in this chapter I won’t go into as much detail as my OPSEC guide
|
||
goes, as there are many things to keep in mind and I wouldn’t be able to fit
|
||
everything into only one chapter, that’s the reason I made a guide specifically for
|
||
the purpose of explaining privacy and security. However, I will give you a perfect
|
||
setup in this tutorial.
|
||
First of all, I want to introduce you to the absolute best operating system available
|
||
today when it comes to security and privacy. It is called Qubes OS. This operating
|
||
system allows us to run isolated environments. It is basically a giant virtual box.
|
||
You can run different OSs in Qubes as different virtual machines. For example, we
|
||
have a virtual machine for the Whonix OS, another for Fedora, Debian, and those
|
||
are only the VMs that come pre-installed with the OS. You can install Kali Linux in
|
||
Qubes, Windows, and all kinds of different OSs. If one of these VMs ever get
|
||
compromised, we are fine. We simply delete the VM and create a new one. If you
|
||
want to learn more about the Qubes OS, then navigate to the link below, it is full
|
||
of tutorials and even videos about the OS so you can get a good look at what we’ll
|
||
be working with.
|
||
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/
|
||
Qubes has a very small compatibility range and so will not work with most
|
||
computers unfortunately. However, if you want to become truly a professional
|
||
cyber-criminal, then I highly recommend you invest in a new computer. Don’t be
|
||
lazy or close-fisted with security, as that will lead to problems and much headache
|
||
19
|
||
|
||
for you in the future, trust me on that. Below are the laptops I recommend, from
|
||
best (most expensive) to worst (cheapest). All of them work perfectly with the
|
||
current Qubes 4.0. All of the prices were taken from Amazon at the time of this
|
||
writing, so keep in mind, you may get cheaper, or more expensive.
|
||
LENOVO THINKPAD X1 CARBON 5TH GEN ($1845): This laptop is absolutely
|
||
amazing, and if you have money to buy it, then do it. It’s totally worth it, as it will
|
||
last you for many years to come. This was voted the best business laptop at CES
|
||
2018. The performance of this laptop is absolutely incredible and will make your
|
||
work incredibly smooth and easy. This is the laptop that I currently use and the
|
||
one I recommend to all my clients on top of every other one.
|
||
LENOVO THINKPAD T460P ($1350): Also works perfectly with Qubes 4.0 and the
|
||
performance is amazing. The one above is much better, but if you want to get this
|
||
one instead and save some money, I’d say go ahead.
|
||
LENOVO THINKPAD T450S ($530): This laptop is also very good, although the
|
||
performance of the above one is much better, this one does boast some
|
||
impressive features. You can get it on Amazon for very cheap. It comes with i7
|
||
processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD (you may want to upgrade the SSD). I have tested
|
||
this computer with Qubes 4.0 and it also works perfectly and smooth.
|
||
LENOVO THINKPAD X230 ($235): This is a last resort type of laptop, and you
|
||
should only get it if you’re really low on money. The performance will be terrible,
|
||
but definitely usable. Qubes 4.0 runs perfectly with it, and everything works
|
||
exactly as it should, just really slow due to the old processor and low memory. If
|
||
you’re thinking of buying this laptop, keep in mind you will most likely need to
|
||
upgrade some of the components to make it run smoothly.
|
||
BEST QUBES SETUP FOR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES
|
||
Having a perfect setup for your fraudulent activities, is one of the most important
|
||
aspects of being successful in this business. If you have a bad setup, you will most
|
||
20
|
||
|
||
likely run into problems, and declined transactions on a daily basis. As I have
|
||
explained previously in this guide, Qubes OS is the absolute best operating system
|
||
for our purposes, and is the OS I use for my fraudulent activities, in fact it is THE
|
||
ONLY ONE I use. Not only will Qubes protect you to the maximum extent possible,
|
||
to ensure that LE can’t successfully uncover your real identity, but to websites, you
|
||
will look like just another shopper looking for something expensive to buy, which
|
||
in turn will make us extremely successful. Below I will outline the perfect setup for
|
||
Qubes OS. All of the setup outlined below is explained in much more detail on my
|
||
OPSEC guide, so I would highly recommend you get that one as well.
|
||
• First, we will anonymize our MAC address by following this tutorial
|
||
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/) for our
|
||
NetVM.
|
||
• Once we have fully anonymized our MAC address, we will route our NetVM
|
||
to the FirewallVM. From there, we will route the traffic to the VPN VM.
|
||
• Now we need to setup our VPN VM to route all traffic to the VPN tunnel and
|
||
restrict all non-VPN connections with iptables rules. If you are running Qubes
|
||
4.0, please follow this tutorial (https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-
|
||
support). If you are on Qubes 3.2, follow this tutorial
|
||
(https://www.reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/6h4ue2/guide_setting_up_a_
|
||
vpn_with_mullvad_on_qubes/). Feel free to send me a message if you run
|
||
into any problems. Check everything is good and that there are no leaks in
|
||
your connection by navigating to whoer.net and dnsleaktest.com and
|
||
conducting tests. Even with webRTC enabled, you should have 0 leaks
|
||
because of the iptables rules.
|
||
• Once we have setup our VPN VM, we will create another VPN VM and route
|
||
our traffic to the 2nd VPN tunnel. This is extremely important, as it will add an
|
||
amazing extra layer of security to your setup. You should use 2 different VPN
|
||
providers. The ones I recommend are respectively from best to worst,
|
||
NordVPN, TorGuard, and Mullvad. You should follow the same steps as the
|
||
1st VPN VM to create the 2nd. Check everything is good and that there are no
|
||
leaks in your connection by navigating to whoer.net and dnsleaktest.com and
|
||
21
|
||
|
||
conducting tests. Even with webRTC enabled, you should have 0 leaks
|
||
because of the iptables rules.
|
||
• From the 2nd VPN VM, we will send our traffic to our Tor network VM (usually
|
||
called sys-whonix).
|
||
• In sys-whonix, we will edit the torrc configuration file and make sure we are
|
||
using obfs4 bridges to connect to it. This will make much harder for anyone
|
||
snooping on our traffic to see we are using Tor (although I seriously doubt
|
||
anyone would be able to do so if you followed the steps above correctly).
|
||
You can do that by following this tutorial
|
||
(https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Bridges).
|
||
• Now that we have our network completely set up, we will move on to
|
||
actually connecting to our RDP to conduct our work. To do that, simply
|
||
create a new AppVM, name it whatever you so wish, use the Template
|
||
WHONIX-WS for it, give it network access through sys-whonix, and open a
|
||
new Terminal on it. Once you have done that, run the following command on
|
||
that Terminal: sudo apt-get install remmina
|
||
• That command will install a program called “remmina” which will enable us
|
||
to connect to our RDPs anonymously with the Tor network.
|
||
• For the RDP, I recommend you purchase a Windows 7 one from xDedic (if
|
||
you don’t have an account there, send me a message and I will sell you an
|
||
RDP from there, or you can also purchase an invite to the website from me if
|
||
you so prefer, that way you won’t rely on me or anyone else to purchase
|
||
your RDPs, you can simply login the website and purchase them yourself).
|
||
xDedic is the best website for RDPs, and the reason for that is because they
|
||
sell clean hacked RDPs, that belong to an actual real person, with a real
|
||
digital fingerprint, and with a real IP/real location. The reason we want this is
|
||
so that the website we are conducting our work in, doesn’t realize we are a
|
||
fraudster and declines our transaction. I prefer not to use Socks5 as they are
|
||
far from being reliable as RDPs are, and PLEASE, do not use a Socks5 in
|
||
conjunction with one of these RDPs, as that would be dumb, and will mess up
|
||
your entire setup.
|
||
• Once you have all of this setup, all you need to do is pick a website that you
|
||
want to card, get a CVV close to the zip code of your RDP (some websites will
|
||
22
|
||
|
||
decline your transaction if you are placing an order too far away from the
|
||
CVVs billing/shipping address) and work your magic! This “magic” will vary
|
||
from website to website, and one thing you need to keep in mind is that
|
||
most websites will require you to call the card holder’s bank using a burner
|
||
spoofed to the card holder’s number to change his billing address. The
|
||
reason for that is because as mentioned previously, websites in Canada,
|
||
United States and United Kingdom, all have AVS systems in place that will
|
||
check your billing address with the card holder’s bank. If you use a shipping
|
||
address that differs from the billing address, especially a shipping address
|
||
too far from the card holder’s address, you will get a declined transaction.
|
||
You could still get approved if the shipping address you are using is not too
|
||
far from the card holder’s billing address (anything 30-50 miles away is
|
||
already too much), but it’s always better to call the bank and do a change of
|
||
billing.
|
||
• If you are purchasing anything above $600 dollars, chances are you will need
|
||
to conduct a what is known as an ATO on the card holder’s account. ATO
|
||
stands for Account-Take-Over. This is a process in which you will call the
|
||
bank, change the card holder’s phone number, then wait 5-7 days and call
|
||
again to change his billing address, you can also add a temporary address if
|
||
you prefer, which is much better in my opinion (Bank of America doesn’t
|
||
allow temporary addresses unfortunately, Chase is the best one for this). The
|
||
reason for this is because most websites will require you to put the card
|
||
holder’s billing phone number on check out and for orders above $600, they
|
||
will call the card holder to confirm the transaction. Not to mention that the
|
||
bank may find all of this very suspicious, especially if the card holder hasn’t
|
||
done a purchase as big as that in months and will ring them to confirm. And,
|
||
there is also the possibility of the card holder having what is known as “text
|
||
updates/alerts” for charges that big on his account. All of those things may
|
||
lead to declined transaction, and a burnt card.
|
||
• I also recommend you use a .edu, .org or .gov email with the card holder’s
|
||
name, to conduct such high value fraudulent transactions. This will
|
||
significantly lower your fraud score and will help you a lot in getting
|
||
approved.
|
||
23
|
||
|
||
• Make sure you act like a real shopper. Wait 2-3 days before purchasing and
|
||
during that meantime, put products in your cart, look around the website,
|
||
make it look LEGIT. Make it look like you care about how much you’re
|
||
spending, because people do care about that. If you register an account, and
|
||
then right off the bat purchase a laptop worth $1500, you can’t expect to be
|
||
approved. I will further explain in detail all of this in this guide.
|
||
WINDOWS & MAC OS X VIRTUALBOX SETUP
|
||
I realize most people will not go as far as the setup above requires them. And
|
||
although that is very unfortunate, it is a fact that I can’t neglect. Below I will
|
||
outline a good, but much more unsuccessful and unsafe setup. Unfortunately, OS X
|
||
and Windows, are both closed-source operating systems, and particularly
|
||
Windows, is full of zero-day exploits and vulnerabilities that are easily exploitable
|
||
by law enforcement officials. Not to mention these OSs are full of NSA/FBI/CIA
|
||
backdoors and are just not safe from a privacy standpoint, proceed with caution
|
||
and most importantly, ATTENTION to detail. Do not skip any steps.
|
||
Now, when it comes to the Virtual Box setup, what you need to do is first of all,
|
||
download Virtual Box obviously (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads),
|
||
then download VeraCrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html) and
|
||
create a hidden encrypted volume with at least 30GB of space, then mount that
|
||
hidden encrypted volume. Then, download WinISO
|
||
(http://www.winiso.com/download.html), and google “WinISO serial number” so
|
||
that you are able to complete the next step. Next, download MagicISO
|
||
(http://www.magiciso.com/download.htm), get a .iso of Windows 7 and burn it
|
||
into a bootable media on a blank CD using WinISO. Then mount the .iso into the
|
||
virtual drive using MagicISO.
|
||
Then, create a new virtual machine on Virtual Box and name it whatever you so
|
||
wish. Go to settings and on “System” use at least 2GB RAM for the base memory.
|
||
On boot order use HDD and CD/DVD. Then, go to storage and add your virtual
|
||
drive letter where you mounted the .iso on Controller:IDE. On “Network”, choose
|
||
24
|
||
|
||
NAT and refresh the MAC address (refresh every single time you boot the
|
||
Machine). Then, install Windows 7 on the virtual machine.
|
||
Once you have done all that, move the .vdi files into the hidden encrypted
|
||
VeraCrypt volume. Then, on the Windows 7 virtual machine install TMAC to
|
||
change the MAC address every time you connect to the internet
|
||
(https://technitium.com/tmac/), CCleaner, and Bleachbit to clean your cookies and
|
||
temporary data.
|
||
Then every time you start the machine, go to the Windows 7 CMD, and type these
|
||
commands:
|
||
ipconfig /release
|
||
ipconfig /renew
|
||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||
Once you have completed all these steps, download the VPN of your choice and
|
||
install it on your newly created virtual machine. You can also get another VPN and
|
||
install it on your main OS, that way you have 2 VPNs for added security. I
|
||
recommend 2 different providers, and make sure you use an anonymous email
|
||
that can’t be traced back to you, and only pay with clean BTCs.
|
||
From that virtual machine, connect to an RDP by going to the Start menu and
|
||
typing “Remote Desktop” in the search box. When “Remote Desktop Connection”
|
||
appears in the search results, click on it. Next, enter the IP address of the target
|
||
computer and press connect. Enter the login credentials, click OK and you should
|
||
be inside the RDP.
|
||
Now that you have your OPSEC set up, I will teach you about how to card
|
||
successfully.
|
||
25
|
||
|
||
As I have mentioned previously in the fraud dictionary section of this guide, virtual
|
||
carding is the process of purchasing physical or digital goods online using someone
|
||
else’s credit/debit card details. However, there is A LOT more to it. You can’t
|
||
simply get someone’s CVV details and go on a shopping spree, that will not work
|
||
and will only lead to burnt cards & declined transactions. There are many things
|
||
you need to keep in mind and in this chapter I will go into detail on how exactly all
|
||
of it works.
|
||
The main goal of a carder, is to cheat websites into thinking he’s the legit owner of
|
||
a CVV. This is the most important aspect of carding, because if you can’t do that,
|
||
nothing else will work. To be able to cheat the website, there are a couple of
|
||
things we need to keep in mind.
|
||
• We need to use an extra clean hacked residential Windows 7 RDP (available
|
||
on xDedic, again, if you don’t have an account there just send me a message
|
||
and we can work something out). Windows 7 is the 2nd most used operating
|
||
system in existence today, right behind Windows 10 so that is why we are
|
||
using it. We want to appear as generic as possible to the website, and never
|
||
appear to be a “unique” user as that will raise our fraud score. A
|
||
RESIDENTIAL RDP is essential, because it already has a digital fingerprint from
|
||
a legit user, which will tell the website that we are a real person, from a real
|
||
location, with a real computer, and not a fraudster using a proxy server in a
|
||
virtual machine.
|
||
• We should either use Firefox or Chrome for fraudulent transactions inside of
|
||
our hacked RDP. The reason for that is because again, we want to appear as
|
||
generic as possible to the website, and those browsers are currently the
|
||
most used browsers in existence. It is important to note that no changes
|
||
should be done to those browsers, and no addons should be installed, you
|
||
should use them AS THEY ARE BY DEFAULT.
|
||
26
|
||
|
||
• With Firefox or Chrome inside of your RDP, navigate to dnsleaktest.com and
|
||
ipleak.net, then conduct tests to see if your real location is leaking. Then
|
||
navigate to whoer.net and check your anonymity score, it should be 100%.
|
||
Sometimes it won’t be because of the time-zone difference between your IP
|
||
location and the system time, if that happens then simply change the system
|
||
time to match your IP location, and do a re-test, it should then say 100% in
|
||
your score. You should do this every time you wish to conduct a fraudulent
|
||
transaction.
|
||
• Now we get a CVV that is close to the CITY and STATE that our RDP is located
|
||
in. Example, if we have an RDP located in MIAMI FL, we want a CVV from
|
||
MIAMI FL. The level of the CVV you need to get will depend much on the
|
||
value of the transaction that you want to conduct. A card that would be used
|
||
to purchase movie tickets/food delivery online, is not the same card you
|
||
would use to purchase a $1000 laptop. However, a card that can be used to
|
||
purchase a $1000 laptop, would easily approve a small movie ticket/food
|
||
delivery purchase transaction, but you would never use a card like that for
|
||
such purposes unless you don’t know what you’re doing.
|
||
• If you are carding something worth $500 or more, you will need to get a free
|
||
.edu email registered in the name of the CVV holder by navigating to the
|
||
website http://home.cccapply.org and selecting Cuesta College from the
|
||
drop-down menu (this changes from time to time so Cuesta may not work for
|
||
you, if it doesn’t just try other colleges and one of them should eventually
|
||
work). From there you apply to the college, and for the Social Security
|
||
Number (SSN) you navigate to http://fakenamegenerator.com/, select
|
||
MALE/FEMALE and then hit GENERATE. This will generate a new identity,
|
||
from that you just need the SSN which will look something like this 427-70-
|
||
XXXX. Just substitute the XXXX for any numbers and that should do fine. Fill
|
||
out all the rest with the fake info (phone, address, etc…), just provide the
|
||
correct sex. If you have his SSN, then you can use that as well and it will be a
|
||
HUGE plus. For the email, you can use disroot.org, navigate to their website,
|
||
create a new account with the CVV holder’s name and use it for registering
|
||
for the college. You will soon receive on that email your newly created
|
||
@.my.smccd.edu email address details.
|
||
27
|
||
|
||
• If the .edu email method doesn’t seem to be working for you, then you can
|
||
simply card a domain with ipage.com and use a .org email that the domain
|
||
provider will let you generate. You can also generate as many .org emails as
|
||
you wish with your domain, just make the domain name something legit such
|
||
as https://nmnenterprises.org or https://pierceandassociates.com/. To card
|
||
the domain, follow the same steps outlined above and register with the
|
||
domain provider with a yahoo email in the name of the CVV holder.
|
||
• Once you got the email ready, then you are finally ready to conduct the
|
||
fraudulent transaction. Navigate to the website you want to card. If you are
|
||
carding something worth $200 or more, then you should first create an
|
||
account on the website using the .edu/.org email, browse the website to look
|
||
like a real buyer, wait 2 days and browse the website during those 2 days for
|
||
at least 30-40 min looking at products, putting stuff in your cart, etc… After
|
||
you have done that, you can go ahead and proceed with the transaction.
|
||
• Keep in mind that as I mentioned previously, some websites will not accept
|
||
transactions in which the billing and shipping addresses are too far away
|
||
from each other (30 miles is already too much). If you get a card with a billing
|
||
address less than 30 miles from your drop address, then you are very very
|
||
lucky and you can proceed. If not, you will need to call the bank using a
|
||
spoofed burner number (spoof to the CVV holder’s number) and ask them to
|
||
add a temporary shipping address/add an additional billing address to the
|
||
account. They should be able to do that for you, unless it’s Bank of America,
|
||
I’ve run into problems before doing that with BoA. They will require you to
|
||
change the billing address entirely.
|
||
• For the burner phone, it is entirely up to you to either purchase a phone for
|
||
$40 dollars at somewhere like Wal-Mart or go to Amazon and purchase a
|
||
phone like this (https://www.amazon.com/Phone-4-5mm-Ultra-Pocket-
|
||
Black/dp/B00JN82EFO) which you can use for a month, and destroy it
|
||
completely when done with carding for a few websites/CVVs. For the SIM
|
||
card, you can go to T-Mobile and ask them for the $30 monthly plan (make
|
||
sure you show them your phone so that they give you the right SIM card and
|
||
ALWAYS pay with cash, you can even go a step further and use a hoodie
|
||
when going to the store to mitigate the threat of cameras).
|
||
28
|
||
|
||
• To spoof your phone number, you can use the service
|
||
https://www.spoofmyphone.com/ they allow you to pay with BTC and are
|
||
very reliable.
|
||
• Before buying your RDP, ALWAYS check its PROXY, RISK, and FRAUD score.
|
||
CVV
|
||
There are a lot of websites nowadays on the web that will sell you stolen CVV.
|
||
However, the problem with these websites is that they will most of the time, sell
|
||
you CVVs that are either dead, or that are complete shit. I know this from my own
|
||
personal experience with these websites, so I have completely given up on them.
|
||
The only one I can currently recommend under good conscience is Yale Lodge
|
||
(https://yalelodge.cm/), however, the registration to it is closed at the moment,
|
||
and I have spoken to the owner, he is not currently selling registrations, but will
|
||
very soon for 300-400 dollars (that money will be added to your balance on the
|
||
website). So, if you want to purchase the registration, keep checking the website.
|
||
I am an experienced hacker, and I have taken advantage of flaws in website
|
||
security systems many times to hack their databases. With that said, I currently
|
||
have in my possession over 70k CVV and over 50k dumps for sale from different
|
||
online databases. I check my CVVs for validity every single time before sending
|
||
them out to my buyers, so you can be safe you will get valid cards from me.
|
||
To check out the balance of a card and check its validity, you can simply call the
|
||
bank to which the card belongs to using your burner phone. Let’s say it’s Chase,
|
||
you call Chase bank and use the automated prompt by typing your CVV number
|
||
and its zip code. From there the automated prompt will tell you the balance of the
|
||
card, its credit access line, amount in pending transaction authorizations, and
|
||
recent transactions. You should take note of the 8 most recent transactions in case
|
||
you need it. It is also good to know the CVV holder’s spending patterns so we can
|
||
mimic it. This will make things look much less suspicious to the bank.
|
||
29
|
||
|
||
CARDING LEVELS
|
||
When it comes to carding, there are 3 different levels to it. They are each outlined
|
||
and explained below.
|
||
LEVEL 1 CARDING: This is the entry point for most carders, it includes such things
|
||
as ordering pizza, movie tickets, and small purchases below $50. This is considered
|
||
very easy carding and you will usually just require the CVV details, along with the
|
||
full billing address of the CVV.
|
||
LEVEL 2 CARDING: This would be intermediate carding, and includes such things as
|
||
carding background reports, credit reports, or physical products with a value
|
||
below $200. For this you will require the same details as LEVEL 1 CARDING.
|
||
However, it will vary depending on the website you are carding. Different websites
|
||
have different security measures in place to curb fraudulent transactions and will
|
||
require specific strategies.
|
||
LEVEL 3 CARDING: This is advanced carding, and not recommended for beginners.
|
||
Things that fall under this category are for example, high value physical products
|
||
above $400 in value, and everything on high security websites such as Amazon,
|
||
Newegg, TigerDirect, etc... All of these websites will require you to perform an
|
||
ATO (Account-Take-Over) on the CVV holder’s account. This will require you to
|
||
have the CVV details, full billing address, along with the victim’s DOB, MMN, SSN,
|
||
and background report. For this it is always good to get as much information as
|
||
you can on the victim, as we will have to call the bank and perform changes in the
|
||
holder’s account to take over. This will be explained in much detail further in this
|
||
guide.
|
||
30
|
||
|
||
CVV LEVELS
|
||
As mentioned previously in this guide, different cards are used for different
|
||
purposes. You would never use a Signature Visa, with a credit access line of
|
||
$30,000 to card movie tickets or pizza. Below I will outline all the card levels in
|
||
existence today. It is important to mention, that for high value purchases you
|
||
should ALWAYS look for CREDIT CARDS. Debit Cards are not good for making these
|
||
high value purchases online. However, they could still have many uses such as
|
||
purchasing background reports, credit reports, and all purchases below $200.
|
||
CLASSIC – Classic cards are recognized and accepted by a large number of
|
||
merchants all over the world, including the Internet. This card is usually used by
|
||
students, young couples, or people trying to establish credit. The limits of these
|
||
cards are usually around $1000.
|
||
GOLD – A premium card used by people around the world. With higher spending
|
||
limits and greater purchasing power, the Visa Gold card is the choice of consumers
|
||
who want more from their cards. Average limit of this type of card is $3000.
|
||
PLATINUM – Platinum is one of the best cards around. Average limit could be
|
||
around $8000.
|
||
BUSINESS – Very high limits, often around $15,000
|
||
CORPORATE – This is used by large corporations. The limits are usually around
|
||
$15,000 as well.
|
||
SIGNATURE – The 2nd best card around. I’ve gotten many signature cards with a
|
||
limit of $30,000.
|
||
PREMIER – Same as Signature. Limits are usually $30,000.
|
||
31
|
||
|
||
INFINITE – This is the absolutely best card around. However, it is incredibly hard to
|
||
find. If you do manage to get your hands on one of these, you are very lucky. There
|
||
are usually no limits to such cards.
|
||
It is important to note that all these numbers are subject to change depending on
|
||
the subject’s credit score, history, and spending pattern.
|
||
32
|
||
|
||
As previously mentioned in this guide, LEVEL 1 CARDING includes things such as
|
||
ordering food online, buying movie tickets, and carding products below $50 in
|
||
value. In this chapter, I will show you the process I go through when conducting a
|
||
level 1 transaction. For this, I will be carding 2 movie tickets on the website
|
||
https://www.fandango.com/.
|
||
1. First of all, we will head to the Yahoo mail website to create a new email in
|
||
the name of the CVV holder. Please note I am already inside the clean hacked
|
||
Residential RDP close to the CVV holder’s address at this point. And I have
|
||
checked my setup on whoer.net and dnsleaktest.com as instructed (some
|
||
parts of the images have been blurred out to protect my privacy). Zoom in
|
||
the pictures if you need to do so.
|
||
33
|
||
|
||
34
|
||
|
||
2. Now we will head over to the https://www.fandango.com/ website to get
|
||
our tickets. Make sure you “allow location” on the browser. The rest is pretty
|
||
straightforward, just look for tickets for the particular movie that you want
|
||
on the ZIP that you want to watch it at and go to checkout.
|
||
35
|
||
|
||
3. Once we’re at the checkout, we need to complete the transaction within 7
|
||
minutes (fandango has a timer as you can see on the picture). Make sure you
|
||
DO NOT copy and paste the CVV details, type them like you would as a
|
||
normal buyer. Same for the name, expiration date and all other details. By
|
||
the way, for this specific transaction I used a VISA CLASSIC CREDIT CARD.
|
||
36
|
||
|
||
4. As you can see, my transaction has been successful, and so should yours! If
|
||
you get a declined transaction, you did something wrong. Go back, retrace
|
||
your steps and check where you slipped. If you were successful, have a great
|
||
time at the movies!
|
||
37
|
||
|
||
Now that we have got the basics out of the way, we can move on to LEVEL 2
|
||
CARDING, which as mentioned previously involves such things as carding
|
||
background reports, credit reports, and physical products in the $100-$200-dollar
|
||
range. In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating 2 successful BACKGROUND REPORT
|
||
transactions, and a $100-dollar successful transaction at the website
|
||
https://www.jcrew.com/. Again, some parts of the images were blurred out to
|
||
protect my privacy.
|
||
1. We’re going to start with the background report. So, first of all we will check
|
||
our setup by going to whoer.net and dnsleaktest.com and conducting the
|
||
tests as instructed previously.
|
||
2. Once that is out of the way, we will navigate to the website we want to card
|
||
the background report in. In my case this website is
|
||
https://www.peoplefinders.com/ and https://www.infotracer.com/. Next,
|
||
we will search for our target’s name and buy his background report.
|
||
38
|
||
|
||
39
|
||
|
||
40
|
||
|
||
1. Now let’s move on to the next successful transaction at the website
|
||
https://jcrew.com/. First, we will navigate to the website and create an
|
||
account there with a @yahoo.com email. Once that is done, we will navigate
|
||
to the account details page and add the victim’s CVV details and billing
|
||
address to the payment page and save it on the account as the default
|
||
payment method. Remember to do all of this and the steps below in your
|
||
actual hacked RDP, or it will not work. These websites log your IP address
|
||
and it will raise your fraud score, leading to a declined transaction if you
|
||
change it constantly or even once.
|
||
2. Next, we will look around the website for something we want to purchase.
|
||
We need to act like a real shopper to cheat the website into thinking we are
|
||
a real buyer so we will spend 1-2 hours looking around the website, adding
|
||
things to our cart, removing them, and then we will leave 1-3 products in our
|
||
cart, preferably what we want to purchase and let the account rest for 1 day.
|
||
3. In the next day, we will make our purchase. Navigate to the website, look
|
||
around it for around 30 minutes to 1 hour, and then make your purchase,
|
||
just like the picture below. You should have been successful, and this kind of
|
||
transaction will not require the billing address to be the same as the shipping
|
||
as we are not making a purchase of $200+ dollars. NEVER copy and paste the
|
||
CVV details as the website can easily tell you have done that and will raise
|
||
your fraud score. Always type everything like a normal buyer would with a
|
||
CVV on his hand. I do not recommend making your purchases during the
|
||
night or in the AM time unless it is 8AM or later AT THE CARDHOLDER’S
|
||
TIMEZONE, the reason for that is because these fraud systems analyze
|
||
literally everything and people rarely shop during these hours. Also, refrain
|
||
from shopping during the weekend, do it on the WEEK DAYS ONLY (Mon-Fri).
|
||
One little slip up could get you declined. You have to always be ten steps
|
||
ahead of the website fraud systems. And make sure you always choose the
|
||
fastest shipping method available. For this Jcrew order, I chose overnight,
|
||
and it arrived the next day at my drop.
|
||
41
|
||
|
||
42
|
||
|
||
43
|
||
|
||
44
|
||
|
||
Now this is where things start to get really interesting, and where the big money
|
||
lies in. You ever wanted to card thousands of dollars’ worth of electronics and
|
||
resell them for a quick, big profit? With this method this is completely possible,
|
||
however that doesn’t necessarily mean it is easy. Account-Take-Over is when a
|
||
fraudster poses as a genuine customer, gains complete control of an account and
|
||
then makes thousands of dollars in unauthorized transactions, sometimes even
|
||
maxing out the account and clearing out all the funds available. Lucky for you, I am
|
||
an expert in ATOing accounts and today I will teach you everything there is to
|
||
know about this fraud technique.
|
||
To even attempt an ATO, you will need to understand a couple of things. First of
|
||
all, is NEVER use CVV checkers that charge cards. This will burn cards instantly. I
|
||
personally recommend bit2checker.com if you want to check cards. They don’t
|
||
charge your cards and are fairly easy to use. They charge $0.01 cents for dead
|
||
cards and $0.02 cents for live cards, which is a great price. Alternatively, you can
|
||
use try2services.cm which is also a very reliable service. I personally prefer to
|
||
simply call the bank myself using a burner phone, spoofed with the CVV holder’s
|
||
phone and check the balance, credit access line, recent transactions and more
|
||
using the automated prompts. To spoof your phone, simply use
|
||
spoofmyphone.com, they are a great service and allow you to pay them in BTC.
|
||
Alternatively, you can use the service Many fraudsters used spooftel.com,
|
||
however they recently blocked toll-free numbers, so we can’t use them to call
|
||
banks anymore.
|
||
Any transaction that involves an Account-Take-Over should be considered a LEVEL
|
||
3 CARDING transaction. As previously mentioned, these are transactions above
|
||
$300 dollars and up in value. Usually below $2000 however, as most cards will get
|
||
flagged for transactions above that number regardless of the ATO. You can always
|
||
make multiple transactions of $1000-$2000 however with ATOed accounts
|
||
through the span of a few days to a few weeks and max out the card.
|
||
45
|
||
|
||
If you call a bank using your burner and the automated prompt tells you the
|
||
account has been closed for security reasons or the system automatically transfers
|
||
you to an operator when you type the card number, that means the card is dead
|
||
and useless, ditch it and move on. Keep in mind that some banks will require the
|
||
victim’s SSN to access the account balance and menu prompt, Chase however does
|
||
not have this feature so it is considered the easiest for such a purpose although it
|
||
is the hardest to ATO. I recommend that you note down everything the automated
|
||
prompt will give you including most importantly, the account balance, credit line
|
||
access and recent transactions (up to 10 in case they ask you for it). The below
|
||
picture is an example of what you might want to do.
|
||
46
|
||
|
||
Once you have called the bank and checked everything, you should have the
|
||
victim’s balance, credit access line and recent transactions. With this information
|
||
you know how much you can spend on that card. However, there is still one more
|
||
obstacle we need to tackle, this is the fact that most high security websites such as
|
||
Newegg, TigerDirect, Neiman Marcus, Stockx, Saks… will refuse to ship to an
|
||
address that is not in file with the bank. To solve this, we will take over the victim’s
|
||
account (ATO).
|
||
To do this, we will call the bank, talk to an operator and first request a change of
|
||
the primary phone number. Remember, this will require SOCIAL ENGINEERING,
|
||
which is something that requires training and experience. Don’t act nervous, act
|
||
like you own the account. Remember you are the account owner, why would you
|
||
be nervous? This is your account. Would you ever call your bank and act nervous? I
|
||
doubt. To do this, you will need to have the following information from your victim
|
||
in hand and preferably memorized.
|
||
• Full CVV number, expiration and, CSC code.
|
||
• Full billing address
|
||
• Date of birth (and don’t forget to write down his age as well)
|
||
• Social Security Number
|
||
• Mother’s Maiden Name (if you can’t find this, first try his middle name, and if
|
||
that doesn’t work then just try guessing using common last names in the
|
||
background report)
|
||
• Background Report
|
||
• Closest relatives date of birth (you can get this by carding their background
|
||
reports)
|
||
The most commonly asked tokens are MMN, SSN, DOB, billing address and card
|
||
details. All the other questions are only available through public records and will
|
||
not be asked by the first operator you get, only by the FRAUD DEPARTMENT. The
|
||
Fraud Department is a department that you can be transferred to if you answered
|
||
any questions wrong from the first operator or if he suspects you are nervous and
|
||
conducting an ATO on the account, that’s why it is very important to keep cool.
|
||
47
|
||
|
||
If you try changing the phone number and the bank asks for a one-time passcode
|
||
that will be sent to the cardholder’s phone, tell them you no longer have access to
|
||
the primary phone on file with them since it was disconnected recently when you
|
||
changed phone carriers. Give them your burner number, receive the text and give
|
||
it to them, that should work fine. If the system does not allow them to send a text
|
||
to your burner, then they will transfer you to the fraud department. At this point, I
|
||
recommend you hang up the phone as soon as they put you on hold, since the
|
||
fraud department will most likely not be able to conduct the change on the
|
||
account either and they will end up burning the card by telling you they will give
|
||
you a call back in 24-48h and they will first try the card holder obviously. Hang up
|
||
and let’s try another way.
|
||
At this point you have 2 choices. Either conduct a SIM swap on the victim’s phone
|
||
number by calling his phone carrier and claiming your SIM was
|
||
damaged/stolen/lost and you need to port it to a new phone you just bought with
|
||
a new SIM (this will require all the details needed to conduct an ATO as well and if
|
||
they ask you for the account PIN just tell them you forgot, which will lead them to
|
||
asking you security questions on the account or trying some other way, which
|
||
should work fine if you have the required information on your victim). This will
|
||
also require a NEW BLANK SIM FROM THE CARDHOLDER’S CARRIER.
|
||
Your next option is a little tricky and you will require 2 burner phones. First, you
|
||
will call the bank with the first burner and tell them to send the one-time
|
||
passcode, however before you tell them to send the passcode you will have to tell
|
||
them to hold for 5 minutes while you get your cellphone since you don’t have it
|
||
with you at the moment, during that hold call the cardholder with your 2nd burner
|
||
number SPOOFED to the bank’s toll free support number (e.g. 1-800-935-9935)
|
||
and social engineer him into giving you the one time passcode, you will have to be
|
||
fast with this. Below is an example of how the dialogue would play out.
|
||
• “Hello there, may I speak with Mr. Jason Bourne please?”
|
||
• “Speaking”
|
||
48
|
||
|
||
• “Hi there, this is James Magnolia calling on behalf of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank
|
||
Fraud Department, we are calling you to conduct an identity verification as
|
||
we have noticed some unusual activity on your account lately, did you call us
|
||
to change your primary billing address on file?”
|
||
• “What? NO! I didn’t try to change my address, what is happening??”
|
||
• “Okay Mr. Bourne, nothing to worry about, I would like to first apologize to
|
||
you for this inconvenience on behalf of Chase and its partners, but
|
||
apparently someone has tried to impersonate you and change the primary
|
||
billing address on your account on file with us. Would you please verify your
|
||
identity for me by receiving a one-time passcode and telling me what that
|
||
passcode is?”
|
||
• “Yes, go ahead”
|
||
• “Okay, thank you for your patience and understanding Mr. Bourne, I will
|
||
have to put you on a brief hold while I send you the one-time passcode.
|
||
Please keep in mind Chase will not charge you for the text message, but
|
||
additional charges may be incurred depending on your phone provider.”
|
||
• “Okay”
|
||
• At this point, put him on “hold”, and get back to your first burner to talk with
|
||
the bank operator again. Tell him okay I have the phone now, you can send
|
||
the text message. He will proceed to send the text message to the victim’s
|
||
phone. Then, you tell him to wait a little bit while you receive the text on
|
||
your cellphone and get back to your 2nd burner where the victim is on hold.
|
||
• “Hello there Mr. Bourne, thank you for your patience, I have just sent the
|
||
one time passcode to your phone, please keep in mind the code is only valid
|
||
for 5 minutes.”
|
||
• “Okay, I got it, the passcode is 023847027.”
|
||
• “Thank you very much Mr. Bourne, give me one second here while I verify
|
||
your identity with that code.”
|
||
• Get back to the bank operator, give him the code he told you and there you
|
||
go, you have just changed your phone number on file with the bank. Hang up
|
||
the call and get back to Mr. Bourne.
|
||
49
|
||
|
||
• “Alright Mr. Bourne, seems like we have you all verified now. Thank you very
|
||
much for your cooperation and again, we are very sorry for this
|
||
inconvenience. Do you have any further questions for me?”
|
||
• “No, thank you”
|
||
• “Awesome, have a great day Mr. Bourne and thank you for banking with
|
||
Chase”
|
||
This dialogue will obviously not go EXACTLY like this, however, if you have all the
|
||
victim’s information it should be very easy to social engineer him. You can even
|
||
change this up, and create your own method.
|
||
Once you have changed the phone number, let the account sit for at least 5 days.
|
||
During that time, create an account with the .edu email as instructed previously on
|
||
the website that you want to card on your RDP and navigate the website every day
|
||
for 30 minutes to 1 hour, look at the products, click on them, add them to cart, ALL
|
||
INSIDE THE RDP. Act like a real shopper. Remember, some websites have really
|
||
good fraud systems in place and think of literally everything, so you really have to
|
||
be smart with this to trick them into thinking you are a legit shopper.
|
||
Then you call back the bank and change the billing address on file. You can also
|
||
choose to ADD an additional address to the account, it is really up to you. Again, to
|
||
change this, have the victim’s most commonly asked tokens in hand (SSN, MMN,
|
||
DOB, billing address, and your burner phone number since it is now the primary
|
||
one). Once your identity is verified with the tokens and you are inside the account,
|
||
tell the operator you have recently moved out of your address and would like to
|
||
update it. They will most likely ask you for the one-time passcode again, but this
|
||
time this should be a no-brainer since you have the primary phone number on the
|
||
account set up to your burner and the text will be sent there. Give them the code
|
||
and update the address, simple as that.
|
||
Now once you have changed the billing address, wait 1 day and make the purchase
|
||
on the website of your choice. Try to keep it under $2000, or the system may flag
|
||
it immediately, especially since the cardholder never makes such high value
|
||
50
|
||
|
||
purchases. Enter all the information correctly, your drop address that is now the
|
||
billing address on file with the bank, and your billing phone number that is the
|
||
same with the bank as well. Make both shipping and billing addresses the same,
|
||
this is CRUCIAL. Triple-check everything for accuracy.
|
||
You might be greeted by a Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode prompt,
|
||
however this should be very easy to bypass if you have the required information
|
||
on the cardholder.
|
||
At this point, your order will go through and either one of two things can happen.
|
||
1. The order goes through smoothly without any problem, and becomes
|
||
“pending”. You should’ve received an order confirmation email as well.
|
||
2. The transaction gets declined and the website says you need to call your
|
||
bank. In this case, call the bank and the automated prompt will act as if the
|
||
card is burnt (transfer you to an operator automatically) and a fraud agent
|
||
will answer. Tell them you authorized the transaction, but is not sure why it
|
||
was declined. If you have ATOed the account correctly, then this should be
|
||
very easy. He may ask you some questions in relation to the victim’s
|
||
background report, but that should be easy to answer as well if you have all
|
||
the required information. When the agent tells you are all good to go, submit
|
||
the order again on the website and this time it should go through.
|
||
REMEMBER TO CALL AS SOON AS YOU GET THE DECLINED TRANSACTION
|
||
OTHERWISE THE BANK WILL RING THE CARDHOLDER AT THE OLD NUMBER
|
||
AND YOUR CARD WILL BE BURNT TO A CRISP!
|
||
3. At this point you are all good to go and your order should be in “pending”
|
||
status. You should’ve also received an order confirmation email and will soon
|
||
receive an email that your order has been shipped. SUCCESS!
|
||
51
|
||
|
||
Many beginners and sometimes even advanced fraudsters, go through a
|
||
frustrating period in which their transactions constantly get declined. There are
|
||
many reasons for that and this section should be very helpful to curb such
|
||
mistakes. I have made A LOT of mistakes since starting this fraud journey, so I hope
|
||
you can learn from my mistakes and not make them again.
|
||
When you place an order of $1000 or more on a website, you need to understand
|
||
that A LOT of things take place to verify the authenticity of that transaction.
|
||
Merchants are not idiots, they do not want to lose money, and that is why the
|
||
biggest ones, with the biggest yearly revenue, have extremely high security
|
||
measures in place to curb fraudulent transactions. We need to be aware of such
|
||
measures to make sure all of our transactions are successful. Below is a list of the
|
||
most common reasons why orders get cancelled.
|
||
1. Billing phone number does not match the one on file with the bank. This is
|
||
very common with rookie fraudsters, as they think the website will not check
|
||
that. However, THEY DEFINITELY WILL and if it’s not your burner phone
|
||
number, but the cardholder’s, you might run the risk of them calling the
|
||
cardholder and burning your card. Always remember to first change the
|
||
billing phone number on file with the bank to your burner and use that for
|
||
website purchases, this is CRUCIAL for LEVEL 3 CARDING transactions. If the
|
||
website does end up calling your burner billing phone number, they will
|
||
sometimes ask questions similar to the fraud department on the bank,
|
||
however these are all PUBLIC RECORD questions, which means they will be
|
||
available on the victim’s background report. If you have previously ATOed
|
||
the account, this should be quite easy to bypass. In some rare cases, they
|
||
might make a conference call with you and the bank, and you will be asked
|
||
the usual verification tokens (SSN, MMN, DOB…..).
|
||
52
|
||
|
||
2. Carding one website and then in the same day carding another one. This is
|
||
another very common mistake committed by not only rookies, but also by
|
||
some veterans of the carding game. This is bad because multiple high value
|
||
transactions in the same day will look suspicious in your account and the
|
||
bank or merchant might flag that and decline your transaction.
|
||
3. Carding websites in the cardholder’s time zone from 7PM to 7AM. Very
|
||
common mistake as well, and one that I committed myself when starting out.
|
||
Nobody purchases stuff during the AM hours and so a transaction at that
|
||
time looks highly suspicious not only to the bank, but to the website’s fraud
|
||
systems as well. I recommend only purchasing during the hours of 8AM to
|
||
3PM in the cardholder’s time zone. Anything above that is considered risky
|
||
and not recommended. Also, you do not want a transaction sitting for very
|
||
long on the person’s account, which makes carding in those hours extremely
|
||
bad. You never know how often the cardholder checks his bank statement
|
||
online. I’ve had cards that died within hours and others that lasted months.
|
||
Once the package is shipped, you can go ahead and card another store, no
|
||
need to wait for delivery. Repeat until the card is burnt. Once it is burnt,
|
||
ditch your mail drop and get a new one. NEVER REUTILIZE DROPS FROM
|
||
BURNT CARDS AS THE COPS MAY BE ALERTED.
|
||
4. Using an IP address with a high-risk score, or high proxy score to conduct
|
||
the fraudulent transaction. This is quite probably the most common mistake
|
||
of this list. I have lost count of how many people I’ve seen that committed
|
||
this mistake. I have previously explained what these terms mean in the
|
||
FRAUD DICTIONARY in the beginning of this guide, so if you’re not familiar
|
||
with such terms, go back and read again. You need to ALWAYS use THE SAME
|
||
CLEAN, RESIDENTIAL, LOW PROXY AND RISK SCORE IP ADDRESS TO CONDUCT
|
||
YOUR TRANSACTIONS! I personally recommend RDPs over Socks5. Most
|
||
websites can bypass the Socks5 and see your real IP which 100% will lead to
|
||
a declined transaction. This is not possible with RDPs.
|
||
53
|
||
|
||
5. Using Linux or Mac OS X to conduct fraudulent transactions. This is not as
|
||
common as other mistakes, however I have witnessed a lot of times as well
|
||
with my customers. The only operating system that should be used to
|
||
conduct these transactions is Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 RDP. The reason for
|
||
this is because you want to appear to the website to be a legit shopper, with
|
||
a LEGIT COMMONLY USED OS, and not some fraudster using Kali
|
||
Linux/Qubes or OS X, this will make your order get declined instantly. RDPs
|
||
are also great because they won’t leave any trace of the fraudulent activity
|
||
on your actual HOST OS, which will leave any attempt to recover such logs
|
||
useless. You can use them, and once you’re done with them, never use the
|
||
computer again.
|
||
6. Using Opera, Internet Explorer, Tor, Brave or any other non-common
|
||
browser to conduct fraudulent transactions. I have seen a lot of people
|
||
commit this mistake, and it is quite common. As previously mentioned, you
|
||
want to appear to be as generic as possible to the website. You do not want
|
||
them to flag you as a unique user and a potential fraudster. Using such
|
||
browsers will cause transactions to be declined and are just not reliable for
|
||
such purposes. Tor and Brave are just completely out of the question and if
|
||
you used such browsers to conduct fraudulent transactions, frankly I feel
|
||
sorry for you. If you want to be successful in this, either use Chrome (best
|
||
option) or Firefox with 0 ADDONS AND 0 MODIFICATIONS.
|
||
7. Using a CVV with a balance not high enough to successfully conduct the
|
||
transaction you want. This is something I see a lot of beginners do as well.
|
||
They usually get a CLASSIC Visa, and expect to be able to easily card over
|
||
$1000 in merchandise with that card. This is just not realistic. For that kind of
|
||
transaction, you want ON THE VERY LEAST a Platinum card. Websites will also
|
||
flag high valued transactions with such low limit cards instantly, which will
|
||
lead to declines and headache.
|
||
8. Using a shipping address that differs from the CVV’s billing address. This has
|
||
been explained extensively, and you should already know that ANY
|
||
transactions that are considered LEVEL 3 CARDING, will not go through
|
||
without the proper Account-Take-Over and change of billing address to your
|
||
drop.
|
||
54
|
||
|
||
You should always keep in mind that NO METHOD IS PERFECT, and the website can
|
||
cancel your order simply because they do not feel it is safe to process it. Nothing is
|
||
perfect, but you ATOed the account correctly, it should be very easy. Remember to
|
||
always stay under $2000 per order and ALWAYS choose the fastest shipping
|
||
method available. Some say this raises flags, but if you did everything else
|
||
correctly, this should be the least of your concerns.
|
||
Now I am going to get into the topic of mail drops. This is going to be an extensive
|
||
chapter and I will list many methods to properly acquire drops. Mail drops are one
|
||
of the most important aspects of your carding setup, because how will you acquire
|
||
your carded items if you do not have a safe location to send them to and where
|
||
you can later collect them?
|
||
This has to be a place that has absolutely no link to your real-life identity and of
|
||
which there could be no possible way to be traced back to you or anyone else
|
||
related to you. Finding a drop is really simple, and the easiest way to find one is to
|
||
just drive around your neighborhood or walk around if you don’t have a car,
|
||
looking for new, empty houses for sale where you can ship the goods to. I honestly
|
||
recommend you do this in another city at least 10-15 miles away from your home,
|
||
as that will place some distance between where you live and your drop. However,
|
||
if you do not have a car this could be a real problem, so I recommend you just walk
|
||
around the neighborhood if you have this problem and find a house a couple of
|
||
blocks away from yours. You can go to zillow.com, craigslist or any other similar
|
||
website to find houses around your neighborhood for sale, a lot of them will also
|
||
have a sign up so it’s really a no-brainer to find one. You should preferably aim for
|
||
a house in which the driver cannot see that the house is empty inside, as that
|
||
could lead the package to be returned to sender. Just use your brain and find a
|
||
decent house that you think is worth giving it a shot. I have shipped things to
|
||
houses that clearly looked empty before with no problem, however I do not
|
||
personally recommend this.
|
||
55
|
||
|
||
Another thing you have to keep in mind is that those houses are usually owned by
|
||
someone or a real estate company, and they regularly showcase the house to
|
||
potential buyers. Try to monitor the house for one day, just park your car outside
|
||
of it and keep watching, to keep track of who goes in and out of that house and at
|
||
what times. You don’t want owners or real estate agents seeing a note left on the
|
||
door such as “NOT HOME LEAVE PACKAGES BY THE DOOR” as that could lead to
|
||
problems (they could contact the police, thinking someone broke in and is living in
|
||
the house) and an obvious burnt drop and lost package. Use a tape to glue your
|
||
note to the door and do not use actual glue, as that may lead to leaving sticky
|
||
paper residue on the door and you don’t want the owner to even wonder why is
|
||
that. You want to be as stealthy as possible so as to not burn the drop, only when
|
||
the actual card burns. I have had my fair share of mistakes, so learn from them.
|
||
You should track the package every day and depending if the package requires a
|
||
signature or not you will have to apply different techniques. The first method is to
|
||
just act like you are away and leave a note glued to your front door saying
|
||
something along the lines of “CURRENTLY AT WORK, PLEASE LEAVE PACKAGES BY
|
||
THE FRONT DOOR. TRACKING NRS:, FULL NAME, SIGNATURE. You can also
|
||
optionally print the confirmation page and glue that to the note as well just to
|
||
make sure. The driver is the one that makes the final decision to leave your
|
||
package or not, but usually this is not a problem for UPS when they don’t require a
|
||
signature. Leave the note on the door and wait somewhere near the house (this
|
||
could be inside your car) for the UPS guy. Once you see him leave the packages,
|
||
wait for him to leave and go over there and pick them up and put them in your car.
|
||
Next leave the area, open the packages, inspect for any tracking devices and throw
|
||
away the packaging somewhere that is not close to your house.
|
||
The second method is when a signature is required. This will mean you will have to
|
||
meet face-to-face with the driver and sign the package. Remember TO NEVER ACT
|
||
NERVOUS OR THEY MIGHT ASK FOR ID. The driver’s job is not to investigate fraud,
|
||
but only to make sure the packages are delivered to the right person. When
|
||
packages don’t get delivered and a claim is filed with the carrier, it is taken out of
|
||
the driver’s own salary, so KEEP THAT IN MIND! You must make him believe the
|
||
56
|
||
|
||
package is yours. For this, I recommend you have in your hands a print-out of the
|
||
order confirmation page and the tracking number open on your smartphone
|
||
(OBVIOUSLY USE A VPN, NORDVPN PREFERABLY), and look like you have been
|
||
waiting for him. You could do this simply by waiting at the drop, sitting on the
|
||
front lawn or something similar. Do not wait in your car and then when he arrives
|
||
suddenly come out of the car. That is very very suspicious and will lead him to ask
|
||
you for ID.
|
||
I also recommend calling the bank’s automated prompt system and checking if the
|
||
card is dead prior to showing up at the address. You do not want cops to outsmart
|
||
you. When you have the packages, drive to somewhere away from the drop, open
|
||
the packages, inspect them for any tracking devices, get rid of the packaging and
|
||
shipping label (burn it if you can) and drive home.
|
||
If the card is still valid and there was no tracking device on the packaging, you can
|
||
keep carding to that drop until the card burns. Get as much out of it as you
|
||
possibly can before moving on to another one. Once that is done, NEVER SHOW
|
||
YOUR FACE TO THE DROP AGAIN! Below I will list some more methods to acquire
|
||
mail drops, you can choose the one you feel most comfortable with.
|
||
1. GENERAL DELIVERY: In the United States, you can send a package to a USPS
|
||
office via “General Delivery”. Unfortunately to use this drop method you will
|
||
require a Fake ID as they require one to go pick up the package. There is also
|
||
the downside of cameras. Example of the format to send package to General
|
||
Delivery:
|
||
JASON BOURNE
|
||
GENERAL DELIVERY
|
||
160 J ST (POST OFFICE’S ADDRESS)
|
||
COSTA MESA, CA 94536 (POST OFFICE ADDRESS)
|
||
In addition, a lot of websites do not ship to general delivery, so this is not the best
|
||
method, however definitely usable.
|
||
57
|
||
|
||
2. HOTEL DELIVERY: This works in pretty much anywhere in the world and it is a
|
||
very simple method. Pick a big hotel, and send your package there. When it
|
||
arrives, just go over there with a fake ID and tell them you have a package
|
||
that arrived for you. Rarely will they require you to give them your room
|
||
number or anything of the sort to verify that you’re staying with them.
|
||
However, as mentioned, a fake ID will be required most of the time.
|
||
3. WRONG ADDRESS DELIVERY: This is one of my favorite methods and I have
|
||
used this many times. Simply pick an address where someone clearly lives in,
|
||
preferably far away from your house. When your package arrives, just go to
|
||
that house and tell them you live right down the street and unfortunately
|
||
you had the package delivered to the wrong address because you confused
|
||
the numbers. You can also optionally go there beforehand and tell the
|
||
person living in the house that you put the wrong number in the address and
|
||
the package was shipped already, which means it is going to be delivered to
|
||
their house, and also give them your cellphone so that they may call you
|
||
when the package arrives, or just tell them you will come by when the
|
||
package is listed as delivered in the tracking. The downside to this is can only
|
||
use each address once. Use it more and it will obviously look extremely
|
||
suspicious. No fake ID is needed for this method.
|
||
4. RENT A HOUSE: This is also a great method. You can rent a house/apartment
|
||
for one month, massively card items there and once you’re done, just leave,
|
||
stop paying rent and leave no trace. You can also card that house rent if you
|
||
prefer. This can be done through Airbnb. Or just pay cash up front. You can
|
||
find a bunch of people on craigslist that will accept cash. Unfortunately for
|
||
this method, you might require a fake ID.
|
||
5. EMPTY HOUSES/HOUSES FOR SALE: This one is very easy and it was
|
||
described above in detail.
|
||
6. RENT A MAILBOX: This is one of my favorite methods as well. A lot of places
|
||
will offer private mailbox rental (UPS offers this service at a lot of their
|
||
stores). They will receive and sign for any packages, and you can go in and
|
||
pick them up (they offer you the option to open the mailbox even when the
|
||
store is closed, so I recommend you only go when nobody is there and the
|
||
store is closed). Massively card items to the box until your card is burnt and
|
||
58
|
||
|
||
then never show your face to that store again. Pay in cash or with a Vanilla
|
||
Visa or other prepaid untraceable card. Unfortunately, most if not all services
|
||
will require some form of picture ID for this, so a fake ID will be a
|
||
requirement. I recommend you do not use a picture that can be traced back
|
||
to you, use a picture that looks like you or just blurry the picture with
|
||
photoshop and make some slight modifications so that it is not possible to
|
||
identify you. If the cashier asks anything about the picture, improvise, say it
|
||
is old or that there was a problem with the DMV/GOVERNMENT picture. This
|
||
is because they will most likely scan the ID and keep a record of it.
|
||
7. SETUP A MAILBOX: Find a trailer park where everyone sets their own
|
||
mailboxes on the road. Simply add a box to the end with a non-existent lot
|
||
number shortly before you expect the package. NEVER do this in your own
|
||
trailer park or home town.
|
||
8. SETUP A RESHIPPING COMPANY: This is a much more advanced method.
|
||
You will need to open accounts in any popular job site that is available and
|
||
used in your area, an example of this in the United States would be craigslist.
|
||
Then from there, you would make an ad as a reshipping company that is
|
||
looking to employ new people and get them to work as soon as possible.
|
||
Make a good sales pitch. To make the ad more attractive, I highly
|
||
recommend you create a logo for the company (you can get logos for $5 on
|
||
Fiverr) and a detailed description just to explain what the company is about.
|
||
You need to look as legit as possible. Leave in the description a form that the
|
||
job seeker will have to fill out to get this job. ADDRESS, FIRST AND LAST
|
||
NAME, AGE, NATIONALITY, NIN (National Insurance Number for UK, or SSN
|
||
for USA, each country has its own system). You will also have to ask the job
|
||
seeker to send a CV (so you will have his picture and more details about him).
|
||
Make sure to also tell them in the description that “NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IS
|
||
REQUIRED”, so that everybody knows they are qualified for the job, and you will
|
||
have more people and more addresses to use. Those details should be sent to the
|
||
email you put on the ad. Tell them in the description that a response will be sent
|
||
as soon as the application is received. Once you get all their details, message them
|
||
with your email and tell them that they are accepted for the job, they will only
|
||
59
|
||
|
||
now have to send a recto/verso of their ID, with their sort number etc… in short,
|
||
all the details you need to make a cash deposit in their account. “Payment will be
|
||
made at the end of each week by cash deposit” is what you should tell them. Now,
|
||
you can choose to simply not pay them and only use them for a week, or pay them
|
||
with cash deposit as mentioned. The best option would be to just pay them to
|
||
avoid any kind of trouble or complaint, they could go to the police and that would
|
||
be a problem.
|
||
So, the email response you will send them should look something like this:
|
||
“Thank you very much for the job application, you have been approved. Please
|
||
provide us with a recto/verso of your state ID and your bank account number.
|
||
Payment will be made by cash deposit at the end of each week.”
|
||
There are many reasons why we ask for these verifications. One of them is to
|
||
simply be able to pay the person. The other is to steal and use their identity in case
|
||
they decide to steal your packages or do anything that you don’t like, essentially
|
||
blackmail. To let them know “your identity is fully known and you could be in
|
||
trouble if you try to steal a package”.
|
||
So, once the person sends you the details, you will tell them about how the job
|
||
works. This, that, those items are coming this day of the week, you are expected to
|
||
receive them, and a call will be made that day to know if you indeed received it.
|
||
You will have to call the person to confirm that they have received your packages,
|
||
otherwise you might go to their house for nothing, you do not want this to
|
||
happen. You will have to purchase what is called a “Parcel Drop Box” to receive
|
||
the mail, as you do not want any form of contact with the person you hired. You
|
||
do not want them to know who you are or even your face for that matter. You can
|
||
find such boxes at home depot website, and sometimes at their actual store
|
||
(https://www.homedepot.com/p/ParcelWirx-Graphite-Wall-Ground-Mount-
|
||
Secure-Locker-550200200F7081/302976323). I highly recommend you print a big
|
||
logo of your “company” and stick it on the side of that parcel drop box. This will
|
||
raise no suspicion and the people you hired will be very happy to be making a
|
||
60
|
||
|
||
quick buck to do basically close to nothing. You will come a day or two before you
|
||
plan to card, and drop that box in front of their porch and leave. Message them a
|
||
couple minutes later and let them know that the “Parcel Drop Box” or “COMPANY
|
||
NAME BOX” has arrived, and tell them to leave the packages in the box. For bigger
|
||
packages, you can give them the combination to the parcel drop box.
|
||
From there, you can card a bunch of stuff, track it, and when it arrives, simply
|
||
come by the person’s house and pick your stuff up. You don’t even have to look at
|
||
them or speak to them face-to-face, which is the actual goal of all of this. If you
|
||
decide to pay the person and keep working with him, just leave the box there and
|
||
keep coming for the products once they are delivered. If not, just pick up the box
|
||
and leave. Be the one to have their numbers and use a burner to call them, also
|
||
spoof your number if you can. Calling with a burner goes without saying.
|
||
The same process will be applied to each person you hire. When you describe the
|
||
job to them through your email, you will have to choose and tell them how much
|
||
you want to give per package and signed letter. I recommend $10-15 for each
|
||
normal parcel/package and $20-25 for each signed one. This should be a great pay
|
||
for doing almost nothing, and I doubt anyone would refuse.
|
||
I also highly recommend you go pick up the packages using a Windbreaker jacket
|
||
with the company’s logo printed on it so that you can wear just before picking up
|
||
the packages. Nobody would ever question or wonder what you are doing this
|
||
way. Fraud is an art and the smoother things go and the more average joe you
|
||
look, the better it is. Have all your “application forms” ready beforehand so you
|
||
could just email it quick and easy to each person. Always conduct business well
|
||
and smoothly, you could use one of those persons for other jobs in the future,
|
||
such as a bank drop or something of the sort. In the UK this technique is very easy,
|
||
there are a lot of eastern Europe immigrants and Asians. A lot of students will pick
|
||
up on those offers and most likely live in flat shares. They could care less about
|
||
what is happening, they will be satisfied to get that little extra easy cash. Same
|
||
goes for other countries, in USA you could use anybody that responds, or some
|
||
illegal Mexican, or whatever you prefer. The possibilities are endless and there are
|
||
always so many people looking for work and extra cash. REMEMBER: TELL YOUR
|
||
61
|
||
|
||
WORKERS TO NOTIFY YOU BY EMAIL IN ANY CASES OR PROBLEMS WITH A
|
||
PACKAGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
|
||
To summarize, you list ads on the max number of job sites you can find that are
|
||
quite known in your area, also use direct sites such as craigslist, gumtree etc.
|
||
Explain what the company is about but not too much in details, just something
|
||
like: We are XYZ Company. We specialize in XYZ and we need workers as soon as
|
||
possible, no experience is required. Please send a CV to our email at
|
||
yourcompany@gmail.com, and you shall receive a response shortly. Make
|
||
everything look as legit as possible, use a nice clean logo and make sure there are
|
||
no typos/spelling mistakes in any of the forms. You need to look professional.
|
||
When you get a response with their CV, reply and tell them congratulations, blah
|
||
blah blah… you are accepted, please complete the attached form (send them a
|
||
form where they should fill all their info, NIA or SSN, Scan of ID recto/verso, and
|
||
two proofs of residency. As previously mentioned, the required details will vary
|
||
depending on the country you live in, however you will need the bank details to
|
||
make the required cash deposit. After you receive the form and all the other stuff,
|
||
explain to them the job, tell them the task will be to receive packages and sign for
|
||
them if so needed. Card, call/or send them an email a day or two before, telling
|
||
them what will the item be and the name on the package. Call them the day the
|
||
package gets there, get confirmation and collect. ALWAYS LOOK THE PART AND
|
||
MAKE IT SOUND/LOOK/FEEL LEGIT!!
|
||
The danger in this is very small, but minimizing it is the goal. If there is an issue,
|
||
the person never really saw or spoke to you. If anything occurs, you are just a
|
||
worker recruited online and wearing your job jacket. It will be for the best to have
|
||
a back-story setup. As have the “company” employment emails in your mailbox
|
||
going back and forth. Have a whole story setup that can be used as your alibi if
|
||
anything goes wrong. The more security the better. The parcel box will always be
|
||
next to their porch and easily accessible, let them know that and it should be
|
||
obvious as well.
|
||
62
|
||
|
||
Another thing to keep in mind is before going to the area to do pick-ups, look the
|
||
street in Google Maps, this way you will know from which street/corner to come
|
||
and from where to leave, where you could park your car or take transports. The
|
||
good thing here is that if you feel there is something dodgy going on, all you have
|
||
to do is keep walking/driving without stopping. But something dodgy is very
|
||
unlikely to happen with this setup.
|
||
One questions I see a lot of beginner fraudsters asking is, when the card is
|
||
declared stolen and the transactions are disputed because of fraud, who will lose
|
||
money? The answer is, it depends. In the case of a PHYSICAL CARDING transaction
|
||
using chip & ATM PIN in countries where such technologies are used, the bank will
|
||
take the hit and lose money when the transaction is declared fraudulent.
|
||
In all other cases, such as online fraudulent transactions, where the person
|
||
disputes a charge by calling the bank, the merchant will take all the loss. Let’s say
|
||
you card Amazon for $2000, they will pay about $1600 for the merchandise that
|
||
they sent you, and they are short the money because you carded them, so they
|
||
will have to make 6 similar big orders without problems to cover that loss. This
|
||
makes it easy to understand why they are so strict and worrying when it comes to
|
||
fraudulent transactions, and why most big retailer websites have a lot of securities
|
||
in place to curb such transactions. Big merchants like Amazon, Newegg, and
|
||
TigerDirect will simply take the loss and assume that they failed in detecting the
|
||
fraudulent transaction, but smaller merchants can potentially make a formal
|
||
complaint at their local police department.
|
||
The questions is, will the police investigate? It depends. If a merchant reports a
|
||
$200 loss, which is unlikely, for an order shipped out of state using a stolen credit
|
||
card, there is a 99% chance that the police will not even open an investigation into
|
||
that. In contrast, if they report a $5000 loss using a stolen credit card from the
|
||
same state and shipped in a nearby city, LE might move for that. It will also largely
|
||
depend on the number of complaints, the amount of loss compared to the size of
|
||
63
|
||
|
||
the city, and whether there is an obvious pattern between fraud complaints or
|
||
not. You should try to make your orders un-linkable to each other, and use your
|
||
common sense to avoid creating a pattern that could lead to an investigation. It
|
||
will also depend if the cardholder himself decides to make a complaint or not. As
|
||
long as the bank refunds them (which in 95% of the cases they do), then they will
|
||
most likely not care and just move on with their lives, cancel the card and get a
|
||
new one.
|
||
With that said, there are definitely some people who might feel very angry and
|
||
want to make a police report for identity theft. Again, there will be an
|
||
investigation if there is an obvious pattern in your fraudulent activity. It all
|
||
depends which city we are talking about here. REMEMBER: when you card a
|
||
website, they take the loss in case of a chargeback, so they are going to do
|
||
everything they possibly can to protect themselves. You have to be smart and ask
|
||
yourself, if I were in the shoes of the website owner(s), how would I catch
|
||
fraudsters? What securities would I have in place? This will vary immensely
|
||
depending on the pricing of the merchandise available throughout the website and
|
||
the size of that website, how long it has been online, and different factors.
|
||

|
||
|
||
Warranty fraud is a complex form of fraud, and it works amazingly for any
|
||
company that offers warranties for its products. This occurs when a fraudster
|
||
exploits warranty policies for their own benefit. Early last year, fitness tracker
|
||
creator Fitbit found itself at the center of a complicated warranty fraud scheme.
|
||
When the company’s customer service department noted an unusually high
|
||
volume of warranty claims, it began investigating the source of these claims. The
|
||
company found that detailed customer data had been posted online and
|
||
subsequently used by hackers to take control over customer accounts. Using these
|
||
stolen accounts, the perpetrators were able to file false warranty claims to take
|
||
advantage of the company’s defective product replacement policy.
|
||
I have used this exploit extensively throughout the years with a great success rate.
|
||
I have gotten some $1000 CPUs from Intel and motherboards from ASUS using this
|
||
trick. Here’s how it works. A lot of companies, especially electronics, offer what is
|
||
called “advanced RMA”. This is a type of warranty replacement policy where the
|
||
company will send you the new product first, along with a return box for you to
|
||
send them the defective item. This is where we can take advantage of this system.
|
||
This will work with Dell, Intel, NVIDIA and ASUS, and most likely a lot of other
|
||
companies, however these are the ones I personally have experience with so far.
|
||
One technique you can use to file such fraudulent warranty claims is go to eBay
|
||
and ask sellers for serial numbers of their products, which most will give you
|
||
without any questions. Or you can simply card a product and request an RMA
|
||
using its serial number. Call the manufacturer, say that your product is defective
|
||
and you would like a replacement (tell them you tested it in some way and you are
|
||
sure that the specific part is the one that is defective, e.g. “the video card shows
|
||
nothing on the monitor, I tried with other 2 perfectly working monitors and still
|
||
nothing, however when I tried changing the video card it worked fine”). Then ask
|
||
them if they offer advanced RMA, and the answer will most likely be yes. If they
|
||
ask you to pay for shipping, use a LEVEL 2 CARD and ship to your drop.
|
||
65
|
||
|
||
When you receive the package, take it, and don’t contact the company again. For
|
||
Intel, they will ask for the 5 lines of text on the CPU itself, and a credit card for
|
||
putting on file, so you need to have the unit in your hands for this to work. For
|
||
ASUS, the serial number is enough, however they will require a credit card. For
|
||
DELL, which is the easiest, no credit card is needed, just order the item and the
|
||
only thing you need is a name and a drop.
|
||
I highly recommend you try this with different companies and find the ones that I
|
||
haven’t discovered yet. There are literally dozens of companies out there that
|
||
offer advanced RMA, and there is a lot of money to be made, all you need is
|
||
motivation. I have seen a lot of people use this method to get a free Xbox One
|
||
from Microsoft. Most companies require that this warranty claim be done over the
|
||
phone but do not worry, it is simple and most of their employees don’t seem to
|
||
care about their job or whether or not you are stealing from them.
|
||
66
|
||
|
||
If you don’t have access to FULLZ, or you have a CVV shop/seller that you want to
|
||
get the most out of it, there is a trick that will save you money, but it will require
|
||
some patience on your part. This will work with any CVV shop as long as you can
|
||
see the name and ZIP code of the CVV holder.
|
||
First, you are going to search for any BINs that you want. This will vary depending
|
||
on what you want to do exactly (426684 & 438854 work well for ATOs). If you
|
||
can’t search by BINs, just pick CREDIT CARDS from any bank. Once you are in the
|
||
list, find cardholders that match your gender, and for each one, do the same thing.
|
||
Search their name and ZIP on ssndob.cm and check if you can find them. A lot of
|
||
the times you won’t, especially if the cardholder is under 45 years old, so just do
|
||
the same thing until you’re able to successfully find one. When you have the DOB
|
||
and SSN of the cardholder, before buying the card, do this to check if you can get
|
||
his info online.
|
||
Go on peoplefinders.com and get their background report (card it). Check if the
|
||
DOBs match, and if the address list matches too to make sure you have their SSN
|
||
and DOB 100% accurate. When you are sure, buy the card and buy the SSN & DOB.
|
||
You now have the victim’s FULLZ. You can go to archives.com or ancestry.com to
|
||
get their Mother’s Maiden Name (MMN). To do this, simply card an account on
|
||
any of those 2 websites, get their mother’s name on the background report, and
|
||
search using her first and last name, and correct date of birth. Search for
|
||
“marriage” records, and if you can’t find any, just search for “birth” records. If you
|
||
can’t find anything still, just try searching for the victim’s father’s marriage
|
||
records. Please note that not every state has their records made public, so it is
|
||
possible you won’t find this at all. This is completely fine, just try guessing using
|
||
the cardholder’s middle name or by trying common last names in the account
|
||
when you’re ATOing. By doing this, you can select only the best cards from your
|
||
autoshop. If you’re buying cards from me, I do this every single time before
|
||
sending you cards from my databases. If you also need FULLZ, I can get that for
|
||
you for an extra fee, so feel free to contact me if you need help.
|
||
67
|
||
|
||
This is yet another and most likely easier method to card products. This method
|
||
works best for Canada, but works great in the USA as well. First, you need to find
|
||
any major provider that only sells products to commercial customers. For
|
||
computer parts for example, you can target ASI, Synnex, and so on. The goal here
|
||
is to get the business registration certificate of a business in the town where your
|
||
drop is located. This certificate is usually public data and can be found on the
|
||
registration records depending on which state or province you are located in. Once
|
||
you have that from a business that operates in the same field of activity you wish
|
||
to get the products for, you are ready to hit the provider.
|
||
Apply for an account on one of these providers using that document, put all the
|
||
business information in the form, but put a drop address close to the business
|
||
instead and your burner phone number. Both providers (ASI and Synnex) usually
|
||
don’t call, but just in case, better to put your burner. It usually takes 24-48h for
|
||
your application to be reviewed and approved. “Your Name” is the name of the
|
||
real business owner. On the credit application, do not request net terms, just write
|
||
“no credit” and let them know you will pay before getting the products shipped.
|
||
On the credit card authorization form, put the cardholder’s name, address, card
|
||
number, expiration date, CSC code and all the rest. Let them know that this person
|
||
is an “officer” at your business, such as a remote sales representative. Once the
|
||
application is approved, you are good to go and hit big amounts. The reason for
|
||
this is because they do not make verifications when sending orders, as they rarely
|
||
get fraudulent orders. They assume that commercial customers are always going
|
||
to be legit, but in fact, we use someone else’s business documents to trick them
|
||
into thinking you are the business owner. I was able to pull over $5,000 per order
|
||
using this technique as the merchant is considered low-risk so there are very few
|
||
declines, and verifications are almost non-existent. With computer parts, it’s
|
||
extremely easy to do that, and you can try many commercial providers. Now you
|
||
are playing in the big guys’ game, and the possibilities to this are endless. Make
|
||
sure you never show your face at the drop once the card burns, as they will really
|
||
go after you and try to find what happened.
|
||
68
|
||
|
||
You ever wanted to card these 2 big merchants to get some electronics? In this
|
||
section I will explain to you how to do this. This is normal difficulty if you know
|
||
what you are doing and have some experience with social engineering. You will
|
||
need the following information for this.
|
||
• Cardholder’s account ATO and billing phone number & shipping address
|
||
changed to your burner and drop, or address added on file with the bank
|
||
• Full background report on the cardholder
|
||
• Story about why you’re shipping to that address
|
||
• Familiarity with the cardholder’s area (restaurants, shopping malls, and
|
||
similar points of interest)
|
||
NEVER use mail forwarding companies to ship your products. Those companies are
|
||
blacklisted by such merchants and will lead to an instant decline. Which American
|
||
would use a US card to ship to a forwarding company to get the product out of the
|
||
country? None. Have a normal drop address. Familiarity with the cardholder’s
|
||
address might seem kind of odd, but some people, including myself, have been
|
||
asked questions such as “can you name a local restaurant near your house” to
|
||
make sure you are really the cardholder, so it is definitely not a bad idea to get
|
||
familiar with the surroundings (major points of interest) in case that happens.
|
||
You’ll thank me later.
|
||
Register on the website using a .edu email in the name of the CVV holder. Take
|
||
your time to browse, look around, click on products, read descriptions, put them in
|
||
cart, act like a real shopper. Once you have done that for 4-5 days, the account is
|
||
ready to card. Send the order and try not to go over $2000. The order will be
|
||
placed on “hold” and you will have to talk to the verification department. I will
|
||
describe how this works with TigerDirect, but Newegg is pretty much the same.
|
||
69
|
||
|
||
The will ask you for your addresses, credit card information, then you will have to
|
||
pass VBV/MCSC prompt. Next, they will ask for your date of birth. Then, 3
|
||
verification questions will be asked. These are all public record information and are
|
||
available through background reports, so if you have done everything else
|
||
correctly this should be a no-brainer. Try to have as much information about the
|
||
cardholder as you possibly can find. Try to have so much information that you feel
|
||
like you personally know the cardholder. Answer the 3 questions and be quick
|
||
about it. If you fail one, you will be asked an additional question. If you fail 2 or
|
||
more, forget the order. Once you send everything, your order will be on hold and
|
||
you will need to call the verification department. Below is an example of how the
|
||
conversation might play out.
|
||
• “Thank you for calling TigerDirect verification department, would you
|
||
provide me with your order number please?”
|
||
• “123456”
|
||
• “Okay, what is your name?”
|
||
• “Jason Bourne”
|
||
• “Thank you Mr. Bourne, let me verify your order for you.” (he will place you
|
||
on a hold for 1-2 mins)
|
||
• “Thank you for holding Mr. Bourne. Is <NAME ON THE PACKAGE> a tenant at
|
||
the shipping address?”
|
||
• “Yes” (answering this wrong will void the order”
|
||
• “I wasn’t able to locate that person in the system. So, you will be offered 2
|
||
options. Either we ship to your billing address, or you need to call your bank
|
||
to add that shipping address as an alternate address on file so we can
|
||
process your order”
|
||
• “I already added the address with my bank”
|
||
• “Oh really? Okay, then let me verify that for you. Please wait.” (you will be on
|
||
hold while they call your bank, sometimes they will even make a conference
|
||
call with your bank)
|
||
• “Okay, I see the shipping address is on file. Thank you, and is it okay if I call
|
||
you on your billing phone number 123-456-7890?”
|
||
• “Yes, sure”
|
||
70
|
||
|
||
• “Thank you, just one second” (the phone will ring, pick up the call or your
|
||
order will be voided)
|
||
• “Okay, seems like we got you all verified Mr. Bourne, thank you very much
|
||
for your patience. We will have your order shipped out to you tonight”
|
||
Pay attention to the pitfalls in the dialog above. You must assume that the
|
||
shipping name is a tenant at the address if you’re not using the CVV holder’s
|
||
name. For example, if the cardholder’s name is Jason Bourne, you can ship to a
|
||
Michael Bourne and tell them it is your son, but make sure that name is on the
|
||
background report and you have their DOB. Sometimes they may ask you for it in
|
||
case they get suspicious. Next MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP THE PHONE WHEN THEY
|
||
CALL THE BILLING NUMBER. If you did everything correctly, your order should go
|
||
through smoothly. They do not ask for document scans, everything will be done
|
||
over the phone.

Walmart is one of the biggest online retailers, and it is absolutely incredible to
|
||
card. If you know what you are doing, carding this website is very easy. You can
|
||
choose to apply a LEVEL 2 CARDING OR LEVEL 3 CARDING technique to this
|
||
website, it is up to you depending on the value of what you want to card.
|
||
However, I highly recommend you use Walmart for LEVEL 3 CARDING operations
|
||
since it is such a great website that we can take advantage of so easily. They
|
||
usually don’t do any type of manual verification for orders below $700, anything
|
||
above that will require the same process we used for Newegg & TigerDirect.
|
||
First, I recommend you get a MasterCard platinum or above. Below are some of
|
||
the BINs that work great with Walmart, with such cards your order will be shipped
|
||
even if the card is burned after the order is placed.

||

||

|
||

|
||
Next, register an account with Walmart using a .edu email in the name of your CVV
|
||
holder (OBVIOUSLY DO THIS INSIDE THE CLEAN PROXY/RISK SCORE HACKED RDP
|
||
AS CLOSE TO THE CARDHOLDER AS POSSIBLE), example if his name is Jason Bourne
|
||
make the email jbourne93@my.college.edu (I have a tutorial for getting a free
|
||
72
|
||
|
||
.edu email in this guide if you didn’t read it). This looks authentic and will
|
||
CONSIDERABLY lower your fraud score.
|
||
Then click on “My Account” and add your CVV (don’t copy and paste it), address
|
||
and phone number. Then just navigate the website for 30 minutes to 1 hour and
|
||
close your browser (don’t sign out). Let the account sit for 2 days and login during
|
||
these 2 days, navigate the website just like you did before, click on products, read
|
||
descriptions, ACT LIKE A REAL SHOPPER. Once that is done, you have 2 options for
|
||
your transaction.
|
||
As mentioned above, you can choose to make this a LEVEL 2 OR 3 TRANSACTION, it
|
||
is up to you. If you want to do a transaction of more than $700, keep in mind it will
|
||
go under manual verification and they might ask for more details, such as giving
|
||
you a call, similar stuff to Newegg and TigerDirect which honestly should be very
|
||
easy to bypass if you did everything correctly. If you want to go the other route
|
||
and make a transaction below $700 in value, then it should go through smoothly
|
||
automatically and you should receive a shipping confirmation email soon if you did
|
||
everything correctly. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE THE FASTEST SHIPPING METHOD
|
||
FOR HIGHER SUCCESS RATES!
|
||
Enjoy your newly carded product and easy money!

|
||
|
||
No guide about fraud would be complete without touching on Amazon. It is
|
||
literally the biggest online retailer at the moment, and Jeff Bezos’ net worth clearly
|
||
confirms this. They are very easy to card and they don’t seem to care much about
|
||
losses and security, probably because of the amount of legit transactions and
|
||
money they get on a daily basis worldwide.
|
||
First we need to go to Amazon and create a new account using a .edu email in the
|
||
CVV holder’s name inside our clean proxy/risk score RDP. Once that is done we
|
||
need to navigate to the email and activate our account by confirming the email.
|
||
After that, we will need to navigate the website for a good 30 minutes to 1 hour
|
||
again, close your RDP, and as previously let the account sit for 2 days. Act like a
|
||
real buyer and navigate the website every day during these 2 days, search for
|
||
products, look at descriptions, read reviews, stay 3-5 min on each product page
|
||
(this will trick the website into thinking you are reading all of that extra bullshit,
|
||
which means you are a legit shopper interested in the products), also add some of
|
||
the products to your cart, could even be the products you plan on buying.
|
||
At the end of these 2 days, we are ready to card. Go to Amazon, login and clear
|
||
out everything in your cart if you left anything there. Navigate the website for 30
|
||
minutes and add the products you want to card to your cart (I recommend staying
|
||
3-5 min on each of these products’ pages to make sure the website analyzes you
|
||
as a legit buyer that cares about his money, especially for large purchases).
|
||
REMEMBER TO STAY BELOW $2000 AND ALWAYS CHOOSE THE FASTEST SHIPPING
|
||
METHOD AVAILABLE. To speed up the order, start a chat window with an Amazon
|
||
support operator, and tell him some kind of excuse as to why you need the
|
||
product fast (e.g. you purchased a $800 camera and told the operator “I urgently
|
||
need this camera or I will fail my class/work deadline”).
|
||
They might ask to call you on your BILLING NUMBER for orders above $800, but if
|
||
you did the ATO correctly, that should not be a problem at all. If no ATO was
|
||
conducted on the account, try to limit your purchases to $500 max.
|
||
74
|
||
|
||
Once your order is approved you can go higher as your account will be trusted
|
||
regardless of the ATO. But always stay below $2000. Max out the card as quick as
|
||
you possibly can before the owner notices. The securities in place on Amazon are
|
||
really just bots and formulas they use to analyze you as a real buyer and not a
|
||
fraudster. If you fail you may get limited or blocked so pay attention.
|
||
This method works 90% of the time. Also keep in mind these websites are upping
|
||
their securities every single day, so this may not work anymore in a few months.
|
||
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
|
||

|
||
|
||
Carding Amazon gift cards is not relatively easy, as it requires some experience
|
||
with social engineer and it is time consuming. With that said I will present you guys
|
||
with 2 methods that I have personally used in the past and that currently still
|
||
work. The first one works great, but it is time consuming and it doesn’t involve
|
||
carding really, just social engineering. The second one is an actual carding method.
|
||
Find a seller on eBay, craigslist or some other platform of your choice that is selling
|
||
$25+ Amazon gift cards. You will message them asking to see three and only three
|
||
consecutive numbers so you can email Amazon and make sure the card is legit,
|
||
and not some fake stuff. You might find some sellers reluctant to do this, but from
|
||
my own personal experience, most will comply no questions asked.
|
||
Once the seller has sent you pictures of the card, take note of the 3 consecutive
|
||
numbers. You will then pull up a live chat on Amazon, while you are already logged
|
||
into the platform using a throwaway account and tell them something along the
|
||
lines of “My uncle Greg told me he has gotten a $<VALUE> Amazon gift card for his
|
||
60th birthday, but unfortunately the card was damaged in the back and so the
|
||
numbers are unreadable, so he gave it to me as he said there is no use for it. Is
|
||
there any possible way that you guys can help me with this and solve this
|
||
problem?” OBVIOUSLY MAKE UP YOUR OWN STORY, DON’T USE THIS ONE OVER
|
||
AND OVER AGAIN AS THEY WILL QUICKLY CATCH ON.
|
||
Next, the Amazon support will inform you that they can add the card balance to
|
||
your account, all they need is the 3 numbers, which you have it. Go ahead and give
|
||
it to them. The representative will then proceed to add the balance to your
|
||
account, enjoy the money!
|
||
If you find a stubborn representative, just close the chat and find a new one. I
|
||
recommend you don’t go over $150 with this method.
|
||
76
|
||
|
||
Now, for the second method, which involves carding.
|
||
You will first get a US CVV (Visa works best). Once you have the card, create a .edu
|
||
email registered under the name of the cardholder, then go to Amazon.com and
|
||
select gift card. Pick a design and amount. Put the name you are sending to with
|
||
the same last name as the CVV. Then simply click add to order and create a new
|
||
account with the .edu email, fill in all the details and make the order. Simple as
|
||
that. Obviously follow all the details outlined in this guide and you should be 100%
|
||
good to go. At this point, after reading so many tutorials on each website, you
|
||
should have a pretty good idea of how everything works, and know that carding
|
||
ANY website is just a matter of skill.
|
||
77
|
||
|
||
This is a very simple technique to getting a refund or a reship on basically any
|
||
Amazon product. I have used this more times than I can possibly count and always
|
||
got 2 of everything, especially shoes. This method is very noob friendly, and can
|
||
even be done on your legit account, with your legit card, just don’t abuse it if you
|
||
plan on going that route or you will have problems coming your way.
|
||
You will buy anything off Amazon, then when the product arrives, you will just pull
|
||
up an Amazon support chat and tell them in some way that the product was
|
||
damaged or missing (e.g. “I ordered an Adidas shoe, but when I opened the box I
|
||
was extremely disappointed to see that I only got 1 shoe, is there any way we can
|
||
fix this with a reship or can I possibly get a refund?”). Another example could be
|
||
“Hey, I have just received my package. The package itself was in perfect condition,
|
||
there were no scratches, marks, dents or any kind of physical damage to the
|
||
package. The package was still sealed and nobody else opened it. However, once I
|
||
opened the package I saw that the item inside was broken, can I please get a
|
||
refund for this or a reship?”.
|
||
With that done, they will proceed to send you the reship or refund, whichever you
|
||
prefer. Refunds, the balance can be added to your Amazon account if you prefer
|
||
instead of being returned to your bank account, which means you can do this with
|
||
carded products. However, do not do more than 5 refunds in one month from the
|
||
same account, or they will quickly catch on and block you. And make sure you have
|
||
other legit orders mixed with no refunds before doing this.
|
||
78
|
||
|
||
This method is very simple and does not require any carding at all. Ideally you
|
||
don’t want to be eating this crap, but in any case, I will lay out here a method that
|
||
will give you free food for any of these places in case one day you do want to go
|
||
there and eat with your family/friends for free.
|
||
Simply create a new Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail account with a legit looking name (e.g.
|
||
richardabbott95@gmail.com). Then, go to the website of the fast food that you
|
||
want to eat at. Select customer support or try to find an area to submit a
|
||
complaint. Once you have done that, write a detailed email explaining something
|
||
such as “Hello, I want to file a complaint against the mentioned store. I have gone
|
||
to the store at 123 FAKE STREET, CITY STATE 20384 during my lunch break at
|
||
1:00PM Monday MM/DD and I went through the drive-thru, and ordered 6 big
|
||
macs for me and my co-workers. I got my order and drove away, however once I
|
||
got back to my workplace, I realized I was only given 2 BIG MACS! EVEN THOUGH I
|
||
PAID FOR 6! I am extremely disappointed with McDonald’s and be sure I will not
|
||
be coming back, this is ridiculous, how can a staff be so incompetent?”
|
||
They will proceed to give an answer within 24-48h or give you a call in the number
|
||
you provided. Once they do, they will give you a voucher for a free meal at one of
|
||
their restaurants. I’ve had different results with this, with this particular 6 big macs
|
||
method, I was able to get 8 free big macs.
|
||
I also did something similar with KFC (said I got a bucket big only 4 pieces were
|
||
inside), and they sent me a $25 voucher on the mail.
|
||
Again, ideally you do not want to be eating this crap, but for you guys that are
|
||
struggling to make ends meet, by all means, do whatever is necessary.
|
||
79
|
||
|
||
This is most likely one of the most important aspects of your fraud setup. You will
|
||
require a burner phone in the same country of your CVV holder to conduct an ATO
|
||
on the account. 99% of the websites will also require some form of phone number
|
||
that they can call to confirm the order, or just in case there are any problems.
|
||
Without it, you will not be successful in this and your orders will most likely not be
|
||
accepted. It is very important that we stay within a cheap budget as well to not
|
||
spend too much money, we want to MAKE money not LOSE money. However, too
|
||
cheap cellphones may prove themselves unreliable for such purposes and may
|
||
actually lead to failures (I have seen this before). In this section I will go in-depth
|
||
into this topic and give you guys my own setup for this.
|
||
First I highly recommend you create an account with RingCentral.com. This
|
||
website is used to create a burner phone number that will ring your burner
|
||
cellphone whenever someone calls you. The will ask for a phone number where
|
||
they can reach you when registering. You can make an excuse and tell them you
|
||
are at work and will call them ASAP. Call them and tell them you will be traveling
|
||
for a few months and you need an IP phone to call home for free. They will offer
|
||
you an office plan, accept it.
|
||
Once you have your RingCentral account set up, take some time to explore the
|
||
interface and learn how to use it, how to register phone numbers. You can select
|
||
by state and city to register phone numbers and point them to your burner
|
||
cellphone. They often change their interface so I rather not go into much details
|
||
here, however make sure all the burner numbers you created on the website will
|
||
ring your burner cellphone.
|
||
To get a burner cellphone, this will vary a lot depending on the country that you
|
||
are located in. In the United States, Canada and most countries you can easily buy
|
||
a prepaid SIM card at any retailer for $30-$40 with no ID and false information
|
||
(not someone else’s identity). Some countries will require ID, so you will have to
|
||
work around that, find someone that will sell you such SIM cards for cheap no ID.
|
||
80
|
||
|
||
Using a burner cellphone without RingCentral is definitely a possibility, however I
|
||
do not recommend this, since one, these calls can get traced, and two, your
|
||
cellphone IMEI will get flagged eventually and banks will know you are a fraudster
|
||
calling, which will make your attempts to defraud useless. You can also choose to
|
||
always call banks using a spoofing service if you prefer, which will give you the
|
||
same results, although probably more expensive then RingCentral. AND MAKE
|
||
SURE TO KEEP YOUR PHONE ON ALL THE TIME WHEN EXPECTING A CALL AS SOME
|
||
MERCHANTS MAY CALL YOU TO CONFIRM AND IF YOU DON’T PICK UP YOUR
|
||
ORDER WILL GET CANCELED. Keep in mind also that LE can subpoena spoofing
|
||
services to see your real cellphone, so do not use your REAL cellphone under any
|
||
circumstances, unless you want to go to jail, in that case go ahead.
|
||
Use RingCentral + Spoofing Service for maximum security.
|
||
81
|
||
|
||
One thing I see a lot is customers asking me how do they card flight tickets and if
|
||
there is any danger to it. I also see a lot of vendors selling such services for a fee. I
|
||
recommend against using such vendors and against carding such things, as that
|
||
can usually be dangerous. However, if you still want to do it, I will explain here
|
||
how to conduct such a fraudulent transaction the safest way possible so as to
|
||
prevent any mishaps.
|
||
If you are carding a local flight, there is usually no danger involved. You should use
|
||
a card from the same country as the country you are currently flying in. You will
|
||
put your real name, or put the cardholder’s name and use a fake ID. If you choose
|
||
to use your own name, make sure you have evidence to support your case if you
|
||
get pulled over while boarding or getting out of the flight. Say you purchased the
|
||
tickets from craigslist or some kind of forum, but have the evidence to support
|
||
this. You want to avoid any and all suspicions in case things go south. Better to be
|
||
safe than sorry. If you use your real name, DO NOT USE YOUR PASSPORT TO
|
||
BOARD THE FLIGHT, USE ANOTHER TYPE OF NON-GOVERNMENT IDENTIFICATION!
|
||
This could be something like a fake student ID, and in many cases they will accept
|
||
this. Present a government ID only if asked to do so, but never a passport.
|
||
Carding international flights, now that is a whole other ballgame, and much
|
||
harder. You will have to use your real name and passport number, which poses a
|
||
serious risk. Be aware that they can’t prove you carded the tickets yourself, so a
|
||
chargeback will not make you a suspect as long as you took the necessary
|
||
precautions on your computer when purchasing the ticket. Show the ticket on
|
||
check-in and go to self-check-in to avoid people as much as possible. Try to card a
|
||
short flight and ALWAYS AVOID FIRST CLASS AS THEY RAISE FLAGS. Upon arrival,
|
||
get out of the airport as fast as you can.
|
||
Never card the airline directly, always use a third-party website such as Expedia,
|
||
Cheapair, etc.. as they can’t move fast enough to catch a carder. If you card them
|
||
successfully, the chances of getting caught are slim.
|
||
82
|
||
|
||
Now when it comes to carding hotels, I do not recommend under any
|
||
circumstances. You do not want hotel security or police knocking on your door at
|
||
3AM to talk about a chargeback or fraudulent transaction. If you go on a trip, feel
|
||
free to card a part of it, but it is common sense that you have money if you’re
|
||
traveling. Don’t have money, don’t travel, that simple.
|
||
Card only one-way flights and do not card return flights unless they are very close
|
||
to each other (2-3 days max). If there is a chargeback and you are waiting for your
|
||
return flight, be sure that they will wait for you and arrest you. Last but not least,
|
||
have really strong arguments beforehand to use if you get intercepted at any
|
||
point, always be prepared for the worst. Leave absolutely 0 proofs of carding.
|
||
83
|
||
|
||
Having a card burn after you have just purchased and gone through an extensive
|
||
process to acquire information on your target and ATO their account, can be a
|
||
frustrating experience, as well as getting declined transactions. In this chapter, I
|
||
will be brief, but I will explain some of the most common reasons why cards get
|
||
blocked. From this you can pay attention to certain things and not commit these
|
||
mistakes.
|
||
Credit card companies are continually upping their anti-fraud security measures to
|
||
curb such activities, constantly upgrading their security software and techniques.
|
||
The thing is, sometimes even legit buyers get flagged because of these securities.
|
||
Why is that? Well, there are many reasons and this is mostly because something
|
||
looks bad to a credit card company and they would rather have you confirm your
|
||
identity before authorizing the release of your money in their possession, then
|
||
trusting merchants’ security systems and losing money. Each card company (Visa,
|
||
MasterCard, American Express, Discover…) has their own security technologies
|
||
that look for anomalies in your spending habits. Each transaction is analyzed for up
|
||
to 200 different data points, everything from where you live to what you normally
|
||
buy to how much you’re spending, to determine the likelihood that you’re the one
|
||
actually making a particular charge. If the analysis doesn’t add up, your card will be
|
||
blocked and your next purchase declined.
|
||
But what exactly triggers a block? Card issuers don’t go on record about specific
|
||
red flags for security reasons (they don’t want us fraudsters knowing their secrets).
|
||
But according to experts and hapless cardholders who have experienced a block,
|
||
these shopping habits below may lead to hassles.
|
||
84
|
||
|
||
• SHOPPING FROM A LOCATION WHERE YOU NEVER SHOPPED BEFORE. A
|
||
buyer quoted “I’ve had calls from my card company saying, we’ve detected
|
||
some unusual activity. It wasn’t unusual, but it was a different pharmacy
|
||
than the one I normally go to”. This is why it is extremely important to get an
|
||
RDP as close as possible to the CVV holder’s address or previous RECENT
|
||
addresses as possible. And obviously, the RDP needs to be non-blacklisted,
|
||
with clean risk and proxy scores.
|
||
• MAKING SEVERAL PURCHASES QUICKLY. One example is a buyer that
|
||
sometimes hits three grocery stores in a row to find what she needs and take
|
||
advantage of sales. But a few months ago, was so speedy that by the time
|
||
she swiped her card at the third store, it was declined. She quoted “I called
|
||
the bank when I got home, and they told me that shopping at three
|
||
supermarkets within an hour or so was considered ‘unusual activity’.
|
||
• CHARGING SOMETHING SMALL, THEN SOMETHING BIG. This is very
|
||
commons as fraudsters like to sort of test the waters with a stolen card by
|
||
first charging a tiny amount, say a song on iTunes or even using a charged
|
||
CVV checker (never use such checkers), before moving on to a big purchase.
|
||
That small to big pattern in the CVV holder’s buying patterns can potentially
|
||
lead to a declined/blocked card.
|
||
• SHOPPING AWAY FROM YOUR HOME. This is very common when someone
|
||
moves from one place to another. A fraud expert quoted “If my billing
|
||
address is Massachusetts and I’m buying a washer and dryer in Idaho, that is
|
||
an anomaly, because why would I buy a washer and dryer in Idaho if I live in
|
||
Massachusetts?”. Another reason why RDPs are so important.
|
||
• CHARGING TRAVEL EXPENSES. On the road, any purchase from gas to
|
||
restaurant meals can trigger a block. While that’s long been true for travelers
|
||
abroad, it now happens domestically too. A buyer quoted “Once my travel to
|
||
L.A. was flagged and I spent 20 minutes verifying transactions”. When she
|
||
asked what caused the card to be declined, she was told “a taxi, a charge at
|
||
the airport, in-air Wi-Fi and a rental car hold” – all standard travel expenses.
|
||
• YOU HAVE REACHED THE CVV’S CREDIT LIMIT. This is pretty much self-
|
||
explanatory and I shouldn’t have to go into details.
|
||
85
|
||
|
||
• BUYING THINGS IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS ON THE SAME
|
||
DAY. During a cruise, one buyer, used a card to get money from an ATM on
|
||
the ship, then she later made a purchase on-shore in Belize. For the rest of
|
||
the trip, her card was declined”. Apparently, the ATM on board the ship is
|
||
registered to a Miami location, and several hours later, she was purchasing
|
||
something in Belize. To the bank, it looked very suspicious because the
|
||
transactions happened so close together. Online purchases to merchants in
|
||
different parts of the world can trigger the same flag.
|
||
• DEALING WITH BILLING ISSUES. A buyer wanted to make an addition to an
|
||
online purchase, he contacted the company, but the second transaction they
|
||
tried to process was declined. The card issuer “thought that the merchant
|
||
was taking advantage of her card number”.
|
||
HOW TO HANDLE A BLOCK
|
||
When your card company suspects fraudulent activity, sometimes you will get an
|
||
email or a phone call asking you to verify a purchase. Other times your card is
|
||
simply declined, with no advance warning and no information why, and it’s up to
|
||
you to call the issuer and sort out the problem. If you have previously conducted
|
||
an ATO on the account, this should be very easy. Just call them, answer public
|
||
record questions about the CVV holder, and your card is authorized.
|
||
One thing you can also try if you’re not ATOing the account, is to simply call the
|
||
bank having the CVV holder’s information in hand and tell them that you’re
|
||
traveling and just want them to authorize any charges, say you had problems with
|
||
this in the past.

Please keep in mind I have compiled this list, assuming one has taken all the
|
||
necessary steps in order to successfully card explained in this guide. Some of the
|
||
websites have different security features, and so you may or may not face some
|
||
problems. If you do, it should be really easy to go around such issues. Usually all it
|
||
requires is some form of confirmation, easily obtainable. Some websites may ask
|
||
for ID scan, in that case you can go to the resources below this section and
|
||
navigate to secondeyesolution.
|
||
This list was compiled in July 25th 2018. Some websites may have been shut down
|
||
or may have upped their security since then. Good luck on your carding and enjoy!
