Since I've had a fair amount of experience with it myself, I decided to share the wealth a little. This file is mainly written for beginners, but I've thrown in a few things, some of them fairly obvious, that alot of people don't think of. I. ACQUIRING CARDS Getting the card numbers is probably the easiest part of the entire carding process. While computerised card machines in stores has hurt the good old 'carbons from the trash' routine, there are still many possible ways to get valid numbers. What you need to copy down or memorize or whatever when you get the card is the card type (visa, discover, etc.), name, number (no shit!), expiration date (usually given in MM/YY format). Numbers are in the following formats: Visa XXXX XXX XXX XXX ,or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Discover XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AmEx XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX MasterCard XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Visa #'s begin with a 4 (4XXX XXX XXX XXX), Discover with a 6, AmEx with a 3, and MasterCard with a 5. A quick insert here--there is a nice little utility out there called CHECK.EXE that will check the format of the card. There are certain patterns and orders that the numbers follow (almost like the #'s in a DL, only less stringent). The utility won't tell you if a card is good, but it will check the format of the numbers. Most of the machines that have replaced the carbon imprint card machines are computerized magnetic scanners. Fortunately, they still print up a reciept with all the important information on it. The reciepts that are given to the customers are usually yellow, but if you're going trashing at the store look for the white ones. They're about and inch and a half wide and usually at least two or three inches long, even if someone only bought one thing. If you feel more ambitious, you can go looking through a banks trash, and while you usually won't find the full card information, you might find a piece of it with a name. Just look up that person's phone number in you're trusty phone book and give 'um a ring. Calls usually don't work, but they usually won't get you in any trouble either. Never try to get the actual number doing this, no one is that stupid. If you have no other options though, it's worth a try. Here's an example of a call that got us the valued expiration date: (dial shithead's number) Shithead: Hello? Us: Hello, this is Fuckyouover bank calling, is Mr. Shithead home, please? Shithead: Uh, yeah that's me. (they'll usually think they've overdrawn their checking account or you're going to repossess their car or some other fun thing like that) Us: Mr. Shithead, we've had a slight computer problem here and are missing a few pieces of information from your file. Do you hold a Fuckyouover Bank Visa, number lalalalalalalala (or say whatever info you've got on them, just don't be too creative). Shithead: Yes, I do. Why, what's wrong? (people always get uptight when talking to someone from the bank) Us: Like I said, we've had a slight computer problem and we need to get some more info about your card from you. At this point, just start asking whatever you need. You might want to try starting up by asking about a checking account or ATM before you throw the credit card question into the ring. If you think the person might know something about computers, dont tell them the system crashed, or they'll wonder why the hell you didn't have a backup and see right through your scam. Another way to get info over the phone is to call and say you're from a place they've bought products from. The best way to do this is to watch for someone to get a UPS package, then steal it. Keep whatever is in it, unless it's shit then just toss it, and look on the invoice to see if they paid by credit card. Card numbers are almost never on invoices, but since they won't be getting their shit, just call and say, "Hi this is XXX porno video club (or whatever) calling. There was no credit card info on the form we received from you." Or say you suspected fraud and have him repeat back the numbers and other needed info to you. The words 'suspected fraud' work especially well if it's from a place like Time-Life or off TV, because it's phone in and that's the easiest way to use stolen card info (a bad bad thing to do...). I've had to do something like this ligitimately when people have given bad numbers or wrong numbers over the phone at the place I work, so its not like this never happens legally. If you're going to talk to Mr Shithead over the phone, remember to only call during regular business hours, always be polite and act like someone who would really work for this place. And if they're not home, DON'T LEAVE A MESSAGE! If they decide to call back the real place, you're fucked because they'll know someone is scamming them and their cards will probably be watched, so basically don't be a moron. If you use your head you won't get caught. II. CHOOSING A DELIVERY SIGHT If something obvious is going to get you caught, this is probably it. If you decide to send a 660 megger to your neighbor's house and you're the only person within four miles with a computer, you can basically kiss your ass goodbye. If you're going to card something that any person might buy, like some CD's, and send it nearby, that _MIGHT_ work, put it's still too dangerous to be seriously considered. Try to find a place that's not to close to your work, home, or school (at least 2 or 3 miles from all of these), and not in a really busy neighborhood. If you card something to a house along a major road, you can count on lots of people seeing you go pick up your new goodies. The best place I've used was a house that had just been built in a neighborhood that was a decade or so old. I just stole the cheap little for sale sign and stashed it in the backyard, and was in business. You don't have to steal the sign the day you order your stuff either--wait until the day you know it will be there. If it's a house for sale, don't pick one with realtors running in and out all hours of the day and night either. A good place to use, and one that can almost never be traced, is the address of the card's owner. I know this may sound sacrilegious, sending the stolen goods to the victim's house, but it actually works quite well. When you get a card, look up the person's address in the phone book (call them and BS if you're not sure it's them). A library will have all the phone books for the surrounding communities if you can't find it in yours at home (I usually only find one out of ten in my own book, but odds are alot better at a library). The best times of the year to do this is Christmas and the summer -- both times when people tend to leave home for a while. Just watch the house a little or give it a call once in a while and you'll soon get one that's a sure bet. Unfortunately, there are several major drawbacks to this. There are almost always bitchy neighbors or relatives watching these houses, so you've got to get the package before they do. If the people go on vacation, they most likely won't be gone for 6-8 weeks, so you can only order from places who ship out quickly (you should really only order overnight or 2nd day anyway). III. ORDERING YOUR NEW STUFF Ordering the products is another of the easier steps in the process if you can remember a few simple things. The first is STAY CALM AT ALL TIMES!! If someone says, "I'm sorry sir that card has been cancelled" or "is over its limit" don't flip out and say "Uh... thanks - bye". Stay calm and just make up something that doesn't sound suspicious. Don't say something that will make the person on the other end of the line want to check up on the card more (although as a general rule phone operators are lazy and don't give a flying fuck, but it's still good not to give yourself away to them). When you are ordering ask all the important questions you would ask if you were ordering it with your own card. Ask about shipping rates -- when picking the mailing class or shipping carrier, try to get something that will arrive at a pretty set time. Second day air usually works pretty well, and if you can make it sound like you really want or need the product soon, they won't even think about it. If you're buying something that has to be assembled and could take anywhere from 2 to 10 days, just get the shit class UPS, since you won't be able to the anticipate delivery date very well anyway. It is not generally recommended that you mail your order in, because that usually makes the arrival date a question, and you don't want that. Faxing orders works well, but be careful to have your own number, or any you could be traced to, taken off the machine, because when some fax's connect, they send their own # (as programmed into the machine) to the other end, and sometimes a name too. It's best to just clear it and not to fake something, then the company won't have any leads or false info to make them think. IV. THE PICK UP When you go to pick up the package, it's best to go at night. If you can get it mailed to a fake business it works well too -- let me explain. If your friend with the card is Steve Wozniak, just send it to Steve Wozniak care of Wozniak's Financial Services or something like that. This way, when you leave a note saying "UPS - Please Put All Packages For Wozniak's Financial Services In The Back Of The House. Thank You." it will sound good. If you opt not to fake a business, just leave a note saying you work during the days or whatever you can think of that will convince the guy to drop the package there and not just leave a little post-it note or give it to the neighbor. When you go to pick it up, if there's a neighbor or someone standing around, don't be a fool and grab it and run or something stupid like that. It will still be there later and they probably won't be. V. A FEW AFTER NOTES Well, now that you know how to get all the neat things you need and want, just remember the way most people get caught is by doing something stupid. Don't use the same drop spot or card number more than once. If you card a thousand dollar Dual Standard, you can bet your ass someone is going to look into it, and will find out where it was sent to. Never, ever use any info that it even close to your own. Dont give your name or number or birthday or whatever, because even if it doesn't get you caught, if you are caught for another reason, it'll be evidence to stack up against you. Rememeber to act smart and you'll be fine. Have a great time with all your new toys. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
