Introduction
|
||
============
|
||
|
||
You ever wonder where that unemployed guy down the street got
|
||
enough cash to start a 1200 baud board with 60 megs? Well, the
|
||
answer, most likely, is Credit Fraud.
|
||
|
||
Credit fraud involves getting a credit card number (a CC #), and
|
||
then ordering things by phone. All you need is the card number
|
||
and the experation date. And a few other nasties...
|
||
|
||
Well, forget this basic stuff! Let's get into the good parts....
|
||
|
||
Getting Your Card
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
Always been meticulous about your appearence? Don't like to be
|
||
dirty? Then the primary method of getting credit cards is not
|
||
going to appeal to you.
|
||
|
||
When a customer buys something at a store or restaurant (with a
|
||
credit card, of course), several carbons are made. The store
|
||
puts these into their files, and throws them away a week or so
|
||
later.
|
||
|
||
What's that? You say, "Why don't I go to the trash, and get
|
||
these carbons?", do you? Well, you're correct; this is exactly
|
||
what you do. Here are some tips:
|
||
|
||
1) Go on the First of the month. (In a lot of stores, this is
|
||
the 'clear the files day'.
|
||
|
||
2) Go to the mall. That way, if one trash can is empty, you
|
||
have a hundred or so more.
|
||
|
||
3) Stay away from food stores. Sticking you're hand into last
|
||
week's fried chicken is a price too high for a lousy credit
|
||
card.
|
||
|
||
4) For convienence, look for florists, video stores and the like.
|
||
Video stores especially, since >every< transaction they make
|
||
involves a credit card.
|
||
|
||
Ok, that is just one of the ways which you can get you're card
|
||
here are the other primary methods:
|
||
|
||
CBI/TRW
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
CBI and TRW are Credit services which have Credit Cards,
|
||
Addresses, names, and driver's licenses for most of the
|
||
population of the United States. You can also use this system to
|
||
find out the credit card mend calling through a PBX, then XXXXX (insert you're
|
||
favorite phone service here).
|
||
|
||
Leeching
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
You could also get them off the credit fraud board on you're
|
||
local elite BBS. Not a good idea, since most cards up there have
|
||
about 1,000 dollars worth of porno tapes on them.
|
||
|
||
Better yet, you can ask a friend. This will probaly work, but
|
||
sometimes people give a card that they have used, or used but
|
||
messed up with. Oh, the death of friendship!
|
||
|
||
Ok, you've got your card? Good.
|
||
|
||
Ordering
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
You've got to order your merchandise. To do this, call the
|
||
orderline for the company, and talk to these people. If you're
|
||
known as "The Human Carrier" by you're friends, or modems connect
|
||
when you say "Hello", then forget it. These days they are
|
||
getting mighty suspicous.
|
||
|
||
They will ask you what card you want to use. Master Cards have a
|
||
5 as the first digit of the first cluster, Visas have a 4.
|
||
|
||
If ice--very
|
||
softly. Just say, "I'm sorry... I have this awful sore
|
||
throat..."
|
||
|
||
The first rule is be polite. Don't sound nervous. If the lady
|
||
asks you for the driver's license, and you don't have it, make
|
||
one up, then before you hang up, say "I'm sorry, I'm going to
|
||
have to cancel this order...my husband told me that he had
|
||
already gotten the XXXXX (the item you were trying to order)"
|
||
Try to order from a pay phone, and when they ask for a phone
|
||
number, give them the pay phone's number. Or scan for a number
|
||
that will ring, and ring... A board that is down is a good bet.
|
||
|
||
Now, you may ask, what address do I give the salesman?
|
||
|
||
The Address
|
||
===========
|
||
|
||
The pick up is one of the most crucial part of the entire part.
|
||
Here is what I think the ultimate address should be:
|
||
|
||
1) Abandoned.
|
||
|
||
2) Isolated (No little old ladies calling the police or spraying
|
||
you with hoses).
|
||
|
||
3) About a mile or so away from your house.
|
||
|
||
Number one could also have a friend of yours who will sign for
|
||
the package, then when the feds come deny it ever arrived. This
|
||
is unlikely.
|
||
|
||
Number two is obvious. I have been yelled at by numerous old
|
||
people, and people that don't speak English. Not fun.
|
||
|
||
The mile away from you're house is obvious. Don't want people
|
||
that know you to be witnesses.
|
||
|
||
Also, you can order to an occupied house. Send them a note by
|
||
mail, telling them about a "computer glitch that sent some of
|
||
our mechandise to you're address, and we will send a sales
|
||
representative (or his son) to come pick it up." Spice this up,
|
||
by apologizing for any hassles, and giving a fake name for the
|
||
"sales represenative". Then, when you go, just give them a
|
||
little note authorizing you to be there with an impressive
|
||
signature.
|
||
|
||
When you pick up the package, be calm. Talk to the people no
|
||
longer than necessary, but don't run away or anything. Wear a
|
||
hat, but don't wear a ski mask and sunglasses. Look normal, yet
|
||
try and conceal as much of you're looks as possible.
|
||
|
||
If you do this right, you will look like a normal person, and
|
||
the people will forget about you in the month or so it takes the
|
||
credit agency to do anything about the fraud.
|
||
|
||
Advanced Fraud
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
To order more advanced, (ie: from Northwestern, or things that
|
||
cost alot of money), you will need the following (usually):
|
||
|
||
The Driver's License Number
|
||
The Bank or Interbank Number (For MasterCard)
|
||
The Billing Addresss
|
||
|
||
Sometimes this will be written on the carbon. But the best way
|
||
is just to use TRW...if you have a password for it.
|
||
|
||
Miscellanous
|
||
============
|
||
|
||
Reading an issue of U.S News and World Report (June 3, 1985)
|
||
yesterday, I found an article on Phreaking, Fraud, and BBS's.
|
||
Very interesting.
|
||
|
||
Said something about mailboxing, which is going through a company
|
||
mailbox looking for let's say bills and the like which would
|
||
have a credit number on it. Sounds interesting. Go on a
|
||
Saturday, and look in the mailboxes. The last few days of a
|
||
month would be a good idea, since maybe you could get lucky and
|
||
snipe their Visa statement. That just goes to show that reading >some<
|
||
value.
|
||
|
||
Look for cards like this one:
|
||
|
||
5024 0000 6184 3847
|
||
|
||
The second cluster means it's a "preferred" card, and you can
|
||
order more stuff with it. Some cards only have 13 digits (i.e:
|
||
5024 000 618 787).
|
||
|
||
If you think you have ordered the limit of you're card, verify
|
||
it. You do this by calling a dial up (usually 800), giving them
|
||
a merchant number, the card number, the name on the card, the
|
||
expiration date, and the amount to be spent. They will tell you
|
||
it the card has enough money for the purchase. Get a dial up and
|
||
merchant number by going to the Department Store. They are
|
||
usually written on the phones.
|
||
|
||
For MasterCard, the Interbank number is right below the name on
|
||
the carbon. Visa cards contain a bank number in one of the
|
||
clusters.
|
||
|
||
Don't order from Northwestern. There prices are not worth all of
|
||
the questions you have to answer.
|
||
|
||
Order from Conroy-LaPointe at 800/547-1289, they are quite
|
||
easy.
|
||
|
||
Conclusion
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
There are no old carders. You quit, or you get caught. Plan
|
||
what you want to get, and don't try and rush your frauds.
|
||
|
||
The first rule of fraud is, "Greed Kills." I think being
|
||
arrested by the feds and having to face my parents and lose my
|
||
computer about the same as death. But what is life without a
|
||
little risk?
|
||
|
||
Try to sell most of the things you card. If there is no stolen
|
||
(carded) stuff in you're house, they might go easier on you.

|
||
Hey there. L.E. Pirate here. Here's some ideas and info i've scrapped
|
||
up over my carding days that might just help you. Everything contained here
|
||
will work and has been tried recently to check to see if businesses are still
|
||
ignorant.
|
||
|
||
ORDERING
|
||
=====-
|
||
If you place an order to a big company (we'll use BEST as an example)
|
||
from their catalog, they will ask for the catalog number. On the back of the
|
||
catalog above the address there is an 6-8 digit number that has the info
|
||
about the person who they sent the catalog to. If you received the catalog
|
||
in the mail, this is not only foolish, but it can result in a terrible
|
||
situation. All they have to do, is track down the owner of the catalog and
|
||
nail them. If the catalog is sent to you under your parents name, or your
|
||
name, then you are generally screwed and wouldn't even think about ordering
|
||
from BEST if they demand your catalog id number. The solution is simple.
|
||
tell the stupid shit operator that you picked up the catalog in a doctor's
|
||
office or dentist, etc. and there is no number on the catalog. They will
|
||
always believe you (they still believe in kissing the customer's ass).
|
||
|
||
OBTAINING CARDS: A FEW WAYS
|
||
========================-
|
||
subsection: Casing for cards
|
||
========================-
|
||
If you need that new CD player, surfboard, etc. and you don't have the
|
||
time to order it, and you want it the next day, go casing! (Read other xORG
|
||
files on how to case). Go around looking for open cars or houses. Search
|
||
the house for PLASTIC, yes, the actual plastic card. It will usually take
|
||
the owner 24-48 hours to notice it is missing, even longer. Do not take any
|
||
cards you don't need (like diner's club, etc...) take MAC/GEORGE/TOM's cards
|
||
and write down their drivers license info, EVERYTHING on the license. You
|
||
can later goto the ATM (automatic teller machine) and hack out the ID number
|
||
and get cash (usually the number is a phone number (4 digits), etc). You
|
||
might also want EXXON, SUNOCO, etc. gas cards to fuel up your car for the day
|
||
or whatever. But only take what you need. Get a VISA or MC and head to the
|
||
local store. Make sure you have another card for ID. Take a VISA to pay for
|
||
it and a MC for identification. Use it quickly (like within 24 hours) before
|
||
it is reported as stolen.
|
||
-===========================-
|
||
bsection: STUPID HOUSEWIVES
|
||
==========================-
|
||
This is so easy. You go through someone's garbage and look for bank info
|
||
and stuff like that. Anything that will have the name of their bank on it.
|
||
The next day, take off school or work, whatever, and give the house a call.
|
||
Make sure you get a house that the man goes to work and the wife stays home
|
||
and cooks and cleans, like a real woman (very sexist, eh?). Call up and do
|
||
this:
|
||
B=BITCH Y=YOU
|
||
RING,RING
|
||
HELLO?
|
||
HELLO THERE. THIS IS MARTY FINKLESTEIN FROM 1ST NATIONAL BUTTHOLE TRUST
|
||
(or whatever their bank name is). IS THIS MRS. ABE DICKNOSE?
|
||
YES?
|
||
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. WE HAVE HAD A MIXUP IN OUR COMPUTER RECORDS, IT SEEMS
|
||
THAT YOUR CREDIT FILE HAS BEEN ACCIDENTLY WIPED OUT.
|
||
OH MY. IS IT SERIOUS?
|
||
NOT REALLY. WE NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU THOUGH. WE HAVE LOST YOUR CURRENT
|
||
CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP TO MAKE THIS EASIER, YOU
|
||
COULD EITHER STOP BY THE BANK TODAY OR TOMORROW OR YOU COULD GIVE ME YOUR
|
||
CURRENT CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ON THE PHONE. WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.
|
||
(if they want to stop by the bank, just set up a fake appointment and hang
|
||
up.. they will, in most cases, be too busy to stop by, and give you the
|
||
info right on the phone).
|
||
|
||
This method has worked many times before. Try it out, it's a very easy and
|
||
simple way to do it.
|
||
-==================-
|
||
bsection: TRASHING
|
||
=================-
|
||
Ugh. This is the dirtiest way to obtain info. Find a place that accepts
|
||
cards and go into their garbage dumpsters. Try going to florists or places
|
||
that don't put out messy shit. Don't goto food places, etc. you won't find
|
||
anything you want there and most of the info will be covered with food and
|
||
other crap. Try florists because all you have to sift through is sweet,
|
||
lovely, colourful flowers (isn't that cute?). Look generally for black
|
||
carbon paper or printouts. If you goto insurance places or car dealerships,
|
||
this can land you computer printouts with TRW and CBI information and account
|
||
numbers on it, which are very valuable to an experienced hacker. Look out
|
||
for half-carbons. They are carbon paper that have perferated edges down them
|
||
so they can easily be ripped in half and discarded. What most places do, is
|
||
throw one side into 1 can and the other side into another... so take both
|
||
bags and put them together at home. Sure it will take awhile, but it's worth
|
||
it. The best time to trash is at night. It would be very handy to have a
|
||
small, compact flashlight that you can use to go through the dumpster instead
|
||
of feeling around, etc. If you see someone, keep down low in the trash. I
|
||
have found myself in trashcans many times, and when I get caught in there, I
|
||
go, "Uhhh, have you seen my baseball??".... They'll usually take you for
|
||
stupid,
|
||
or even act like a bum, that will work.
|
||
-============================-
|
||
bsection: INSIDE CONNECTIONS
|
||
===========================-
|
||
Make a friend that works at a place that takes alot of cards. Instead of
|
||
throwing them away, ask him for them. This guy I knew used to keep them all
|
||
and give them away. If you can't find anyone, get yourself a job somewhere.
|
||
The best place to work is a shoestore like Kinney Shoes or Athlete's Foot.
|
||
|
||
CREDIT CHECKING
|
||
============-
|
||
The simplest way to get credit checker numbers is go into record stores.
|
||
last weekend I walked into a record store in Delaware and bought the new
|
||
WarZone album. Right on the wall in big, girly, red letters was.
|
||
"OUR MERCHANT NUMBER: XXXXXXXX. OUR 800 NUMBER: 1-800-XXX-XXXX"
|
||
It had listings for VISA/MC/DISCOVER and just about everything else. I
|
||
pulled out my trusty pen while the chick was opening the register and I
|
||
wrote it on my hand. I had just enough time to copy down the VISA/MC one
|
||
when she looked up. Try record places, army/navy stores, shoe stores, and
|
||
places that need to check credit on cards.
|
||
|
||
EXPLOITING
|
||
-========-
|
||
|
||
So, you found a driver's license laying in the street while walking
|
||
downtown, eh? You think to yourself, "BIG DEAL." Nononononono. Go trash at
|
||
an insurance place and get ahold of CBI and TRW printouts. The printouts
|
||
will contain everything buffered when the person called CBI or TRW, it will
|
||
even include an access port number. Call up CBI or TRW and enter exactly
|
||
what is on the prinout except in place of the person's name on the printout,
|
||
put the name of the person and address, etc. in the computer and buffer what
|
||
is shown. Mail the information, her drivers license info, her address,
|
||
card numbers, credit info, everything to the person. Find your own way to
|
||
exploit it to your own advantage.
|
||
|
||
