What A Fool I Was!
|
|||
|
|
------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Looking back on my old file, The Bible of Fraud, I'm almost
|
|||
|
|
sickened at how lame I was back then (then again, some people
|
|||
|
|
will argue about how lame I am NOW), so this file will attempt to
|
|||
|
|
rectify some of the earlier flaws in The Bible of Fraud.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CBI/TRW
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CBI and TRW are huge credit verification systems which contain
|
|||
|
|
credit information on 125 or so million Americans. If you simply
|
|||
|
|
know the name, address, and first letter of someone's street, you
|
|||
|
|
can find out their credit card number, and other essential
|
|||
|
|
informations. You can see how useful this can be for carders.
|
|||
|
|
- More (Y)/N/NS? NS
|
|||
|
|
But TRW and CBI's usefullness does have it's price, however...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CBI and TRW passwords are much harder to find than they were way
|
|||
|
|
back when. CBI passwords are echoed back to screen when entered,
|
|||
|
|
hence they are not echoed to the business' printer which is
|
|||
|
|
usually on during during the procedure. Although many will argue
|
|||
|
|
with me, I believe that TRW passwords are. This is as of three
|
|||
|
|
months ago, when I shocked myself and friends by finding a
|
|||
|
|
print-out with a valid TRW code on it. Shocked, I most
|
|||
|
|
definately was. But, TRW is getting greatly worried due to
|
|||
|
|
complains from people with their records violated, so it most
|
|||
|
|
definately unlikely that they will keep up the practice.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As I mentioned in my earlier file, CBI is generally prefered to
|
|||
|
|
TRW by any carder with enough sense to tie his shoes without help
|
|||
|
|
from Mommy. The reason for this is simple: TRW is VERY nasty
|
|||
|
|
towards anyone in their system! They trace. They prosecute. If
|
|||
|
|
someone breaks in while you're on one of these systems and says,
|
|||
|
|
"What the HELL are you doing!?" Don't bother hanging up.
|
|||
|
|
They've already got you. You could try and BS your way out of
|
|||
|
|
it, but I doubt that (by the way, however, it is unlikely that
|
|||
|
|
TRW is paying very close attention to most of the ports of their
|
|||
|
|
system due to the sheer number of them, but if you dial your
|
|||
|
|
local TRW dial-up direct [Never, NEVER do that!] and they break
|
|||
|
|
in, your career is over.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CBI, according to many people I've talked to, is much less
|
|||
|
|
dangerous than TRW, but I doubt that they wouldn't enjoy hauling
|
|||
|
|
your ass into court if they caught you. The only really easy way
|
|||
|
|
I envision getting a CBI code (other than leeching off of someone
|
|||
|
|
else), is to look in the trash for CBI print-outs with the users
|
|||
|
|
code written on them (so the idiot using the machine won't
|
|||
|
|
forget). This is unlikely, but Metro ever waking up to the fact
|
|||
|
|
that they we're being robbed blind was unlikely, also.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, in conclusion, I would just get my hands dirty by trashing,
|
|||
|
|
as TRW and CBI codes go dead so fast, they usually aren't worth
|
|||
|
|
the trouble you took to get them. On to trashing techniques!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Trashing
|
|||
|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you do not know what trashing is, I recommend that you
|
|||
|
|
scavenge up a copy of the Bible of Fraud, as it gives a more
|
|||
|
|
complete explanation of trashing techniques.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some hints...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Good places to trash are Flower Shops. They do a lot of
|
|||
|
|
phone orders, and instead of reaching your hand into
|
|||
|
|
chicken guts or the bag where they empty the ashtrays
|
|||
|
|
into, you can just root around in wilted flowers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Malls are not great places to trash. This is because
|
|||
|
|
of an increasing number of nosy security cops, and the
|
|||
|
|
fact that tenents at the mall have usually been lectured
|
|||
|
|
on security and shred their carbons.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Try and get all the information from a carbon that you
|
|||
|
|
can. If you find a business that requires all kinds
|
|||
|
|
of information (driver's license number, home address,
|
|||
|
|
etc), as my local Video World does, your in luck. Many
|
|||
|
|
places require all of this information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Trash around the beginning or end of the month. This
|
|||
|
|
is when many companies throw away their old files filled
|
|||
|
|
with carbons. You can also try the end of the week, as
|
|||
|
|
some stores clear out the weeks files then.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o FIND OUT WHEN TRASH DAY IS! Then come the evening
|
|||
|
|
before. If your going to find anything, find it then.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On to the next section, Ordering.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ordering
|
|||
|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The key to ordering is the voice. That's all there is too it.
|
|||
|
|
If you sound like Mickey Mouse, better find someone else to order
|
|||
|
|
for you. Here are some tips on ordering...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Do not be playing any music in the background.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Keep the door closed in the room your ordering from, and
|
|||
|
|
whenever possible, order when your parents aren't home.
|
|||
|
|
This way, they won't hear your mother screaming at you
|
|||
|
|
to do chores, or some other stupid thing, and your mother
|
|||
|
|
won't hear you ordering (we wouldn't want her to do that,
|
|||
|
|
would we?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o If something goes wrong with the order (suspicious clerk,
|
|||
|
|
etc), or your asked for a piece of info you can't give,
|
|||
|
|
DO NOT HANG UP INSTANTLY. This instills great suspicion,
|
|||
|
|
suspicion of you. Far better it is to BS out of it
|
|||
|
|
and then hang up more polietly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o If you give them the credit card number, and then
|
|||
|
|
something goes wrong (ie: you panic and hang up),
|
|||
|
|
throw away the number you gave them. It may
|
|||
|
|
be overly cautious, but you never know!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Call (800) verification numbers from a pay-phone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Order from a payphone [One of my favorite techniques
|
|||
|
|
is to find a remote pay phone in which there is two
|
|||
|
|
or more phones, and order from one and leave the other
|
|||
|
|
off-hook. Then I give the guy the phone number of the
|
|||
|
|
off-hook phone. This is good because I have had
|
|||
|
|
instances in which I had a number that rang forever,
|
|||
|
|
and they called it while I was on! ("Sir, your phone
|
|||
|
|
is ringing...")]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Never, ever, allow your voice to squeak.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ok, I think that is about all that is really needed on ordering,
|
|||
|
|
so on to the next section: The Drop
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Drop Site
|
|||
|
|
-------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After you find the perfect card, and order perfectly, you've
|
|||
|
|
still got to pick it up. This is the most dangerous part, so it
|
|||
|
|
might be a good idea to find someone else to do it for you, but I
|
|||
|
|
doubt anyone would do it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wear normal clothes and look normal. If you pull a cap over your
|
|||
|
|
eyes, wear dark sunglasses, etc they will probably remember you,
|
|||
|
|
and on the off chance that the Feds come interview these people
|
|||
|
|
they can give a MUCH better description.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
By far the best way to fraud is to find an isolated house that is
|
|||
|
|
vacant. Make sure that it is far enough away from your house
|
|||
|
|
that it won't cause suspicion, but close enough that when you
|
|||
|
|
come to check on your order every day you won't be too tired. If
|
|||
|
|
you drive your car to the drop site, use a little sense and park
|
|||
|
|
it a couple blocks away. Unfortunately, vacant houses are rare,
|
|||
|
|
and they do not stay vacant for long. Thus, another good way is
|
|||
|
|
to find a house in which no one is home in the daytime (this
|
|||
|
|
isn't so hot when you order special UPS [It's always a good idea
|
|||
|
|
to wait for regular UPS!], since they can't sign for it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you cannot find a family that works, then you will just have
|
|||
|
|
to send it to any old house. Leave these people a note saying
|
|||
|
|
"Due to an error, some of the goods I ordered are coming to your
|
|||
|
|
house. I would appreciate you holding them for me." Then just
|
|||
|
|
come and pick them up (when doing this, wait for a week after
|
|||
|
|
your sure it'll be there. Coming back more than once would stick
|
|||
|
|
your face in their memory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The only rule of the drop is: NEVER USE A PO BOX! Not only if
|
|||
|
|
you are caught will you get in more trouble, you are much more
|
|||
|
|
likely to get caught. I cannot count how many times I've seen
|
|||
|
|
people get busted from a PO box because they keep on reusing the
|
|||
|
|
same one. Save yourself the trouble and expense, and the risk,
|
|||
|
|
and forget a PO Box. I'd hate to read about you in the paper.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On to the final section, Random Hints.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Random Hints
|
|||
|
|
------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Get rid of your carbons. Copy them on to a disk file,
|
|||
|
|
so they are easier to destroy (in case of emergency),
|
|||
|
|
and your parents won't chance upon them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Decide what you want to get before you get before you
|
|||
|
|
get it. If you need an Apple Cat 212 and and a ten
|
|||
|
|
meg for your board, get them and don't add a Hayes
|
|||
|
|
Mach /// joystick for Bill, a 212 upgrade for Sam,
|
|||
|
|
a...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Lay low after a fraud. After you fraud something, wait
|
|||
|
|
a couple of weeks before you try anything else.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Never keep any of the stuff that comes with the
|
|||
|
|
merchandise. Such as the invoice slip, etc. Destroy it
|
|||
|
|
immediately.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Do not get greedy. That will only cause trouble. Fraud
|
|||
|
|
what YOU need, and only the essentials. If your friends
|
|||
|
|
want something, it's up to them to take the risk of
|
|||
|
|
getting it!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Never use the same address, PO Box, etc., twice. In
|
|||
|
|
fact, only send something to a general area once.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Sell whatever you can. Use the profits from that to
|
|||
|
|
buy the same stuff legally. (It makes things easier
|
|||
|
|
than destroying serial numbers, etc)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Computer stuff is the hardest to fraud. If you find
|
|||
|
|
yourself getting frustrated, fraud something easy but
|
|||
|
|
something that you can sell for a decent profit (Tennis
|
|||
|
|
rackets are great for this!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Don't flaunt what you get. Parents are VERY suspicious.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hot Areas
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You won't get busted. Rather, you won't get busted if the feds
|
|||
|
|
don't come into your area. If they start getting interested, and
|
|||
|
|
investigate your area, and then you attempt a fraud, you are
|
|||
|
|
busted. So wise up. If you see strange men in dark business
|
|||
|
|
suits and aviator sunglasses lounging around in front of your
|
|||
|
|
drop, or cars in government license plates are driving around
|
|||
|
|
your city, cool it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you live in say, Los Angeles, you can get away with more than
|
|||
|
|
if you live in Crow's Neck, Montana. The reason is once they get
|
|||
|
|
interested in Crow's Neck, they can stake out the entire town,
|
|||
|
|
wheras in Los Angeles that is slightly difficult even for your
|
|||
|
|
friends and mine, the FBI.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, take the obvious course--let your area stay cool. Small
|
|||
|
|
frauds, spaced far apart will keep you safe. 5 ten megs to the
|
|||
|
|
same address in a week won't.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Media
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You see the media constantly crowing about "Teenage 'HACKERS' in
|
|||
|
|
New Jersey Arrested", or "Irvine Youths Convicted of Five Counts
|
|||
|
|
of Mail and Wire Fraud", but the truth is that they don't make
|
|||
|
|
many busts, that's why they keep on blabbing about the ones they
|
|||
|
|
do make. But, if you read in the paper about your friend Bez Man
|
|||
|
|
being busted, and he lives five miles away, take it as a hint to
|
|||
|
|
start destroying documents, etc, etc... In other words, use the
|
|||
|
|
media as some sort of 'heat detector'. When they start crowing
|
|||
|
|
about law and order and computer crime, it's time to pack things
|
|||
|
|
up for a while. Likewise after a MAJOR bust, as the local cops
|
|||
|
|
will always be looking to get in on the glory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
