Carding forum - what do you need to know for successful communication in the carding community?
It would seem that the whole world has long since switched to instant messengers like Telegram - they manage to do everything there, from maintaining channels with "gray" information to drug and weapons trafficking. But for some reason, carding has not taken root there, and trading, communication and exchange of information on the topic still takes place on forums.
In this article, we will analyze the basic rules of communication on forums, and we will consider this not from the point of view of forum rules, but from the point of view of account protection.
Why do people communicate on carding forums at all?
Modern communication on the darknet has moved to completely different methods. However, the best carding forums still exist, and new forums are created all the time.
The main reason is trust. It is quite difficult to create a reputation for yourself on Telegram, especially when your topic is carding. It is not as public as, for example, drug trafficking and gathers a much smaller audience, which is fragmented. The information in the telegram itself is also unsystematic, and leaving your feedback on it is also quite difficult. This leads to the fact that, compared to trusted carding forums, any telegram channel loses in terms of the quality of the information provided.
Carding forums allow you to find verified information (which is criticized and supplemented during the discussion), recommended sellers and partners, as well as help with any questions. The forum system allows you to maintain a user's reputation, which is important when trading or communicating when the topic concerns rather sensitive issues of carding.
It also reduces the likelihood of being caught by special services - imagine the forum as a communal apartment, in which any stranger is suspicious. Working only with trusted forum users, you will never run into deception or operatives. However, you can give out your data yourself. Below I will tell you what you should not do on the forums.
Features during registration
Communication on the carding forum does not require knowledge, at all. However, for long-term and successful communication without deanonymization, you should still follow some rules and start with registration.
Registration usually requires only a login, display name, password and captcha. Some forums also use email, which is required to restore an account, however, due to the specifics, it is recommended to create it only in extreme cases - modern mail outside the darknet is a threat to the user's anonymity.
The login should not be associated with you in real life - it should not be used on clearnet sites and should not be easily "broken through" through search engines, leading to your real pages. The same with the display name - it should not contain real data, and if possible, it should be unique.
You should not use your real name, surname or derivatives of them. Also, do not use your birth dates in them - the fact that you indicate 1982 will not add weight to your words, but in case of something it will be easier to establish your real identity.
It is best to remember the password and login, using the most complex combinations possible. It is not difficult to learn 10-12 characters, but it is much more difficult to restore a lost reputation or business contacts in the future.
Features of communication
Remember that although you can access some carding forums through a regular browser, they still belong to the darknet. No matter how decent and unpunished it may seem to you - you can "catch Comrade Major" anywhere. Especially if you live in Russia.
In communication on any topic, do not indicate your city, places you go to or where you fly on vacation. Moreover, it does not matter how far you have gone in carding - even if you do not do it, then in the future the archives of correspondence can always be raised. Remember that in this case the forum administration is not responsible for the data that you provide in the public domain yourself. Frankly, no one is responsible for them.
Never make contact in real life - especially when you are offered money or other material benefits. There is a high probability that you will be caught by law enforcement officers, and it will not be easy to prove your innocence in the presence on the forum. Especially when you went to the meeting yourself.
If you make deals - use cryptocurrencies for payment. Your real cards issued to you in banks are a direct key to your capture and will prove your guilt in almost all the crimes associated with the latest transactions.
Disclose personal data only when necessary, and if possible - use drop boxes for receiving letters and parcels and fake data. For example, if you buy encoding equipment, accept it at someone else's mail or send it somewhere where you can pick up the mail, but you have nothing to do with the place.
Remember that even if you communicate in personal correspondence and have known the person on the other end for more than ten years, it is not a fact that he is your friend. In the carding sphere, you cannot find friends, especially on darknet forums.
What should not be done?
Of course, if you have just come to carding forums, then you will not be held accountable for mistakes in communication. However, all the same:
Remember that the purity of communication on the forum is very important and it lies entirely on your shoulders. The attitude towards you also depends on it - no one wants to do business with inadequate people.
Also, try not to log into your own accounts on the forums using your regular IP - this can cause deanonymization in the future and possible problems with the law.
