Gold Carding: Methods, Risks and Realities​

Gold carding is the use of stolen bank card data to purchase gold items (jewelry, bars, coins) for the purpose of reselling them or cashing them out. This method is attractive to fraudsters, as gold is a highly liquid asset that can be easily converted into cash. However, as with other types of carding, there are difficulties and risks.

1. How does gold carding work?​

a) Basic principle​

1. The fraudster uses stolen card data (CVV, BIN) to:
   • Shopping for gold jewelry online.
   • Ordering delivery of gold to a fictitious address.
2. After receiving gold he:
   • Resells it on the black market or in jewelry stores.
   • Exchanges for cash through private buyers.

b) Why gold?​

• Gold is a universal asset that always has value.
• Jewelry and bullion can be easily resold or exchanged for cryptocurrency.
• Possibility of using anonymous delivery methods (e.g. intermediaries).

2. Gold Carding Methods​

a) Selecting suitable platforms​

• Look for platforms with:
  • Minimal user verification.
  • Flexible payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal).
  • Delivery of gold to the specified address.

b) Use of stolen data​

• Check the quality of BIN/CVV before use (e.g. via test payments or card verification services).
• Separate activity between different accounts and IP addresses.

c) Drops and delivery​

• If you don't want to use your address, set up a drop system:
  • Fake addresses (for example, friends, acquaintances or paid drops).
  • Rewriting addresses through intermediaries (for example, mail services or forwarding services).

d) Resale of gold​

• Resell gold through:
  • Jewelry stores (legal or illegal).
  • Classified ads (e.g. Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace).
  • Black market (eg selling bars or coins).

3. Risks and difficulties​

a) Technical risks​

1. Antifraud systems:
   • Online stores and jewelry platforms actively use behavior analysis systems:
     • Unusual location.
     • Frequent purchases from one card.
     • Too large amounts.
2. Chargebacks:
   • Cardholders may request a refund, which will result in your account being blocked and possible investigation.

b) Legal consequences​

• Fraud using stolen cards is a criminal offence.
• Jewelry stores may share data with law enforcement for investigation.

c) Ethical issues​

• You are causing financial harm to real people whose data was stolen.
• This can affect your reputation and self-esteem.

4. How to minimize risks?​

If you decide to explore this topic, here are some tips:

a) Use quality tools​

• Antidetect browsers (Dolphin Anty, Multilogin).
• Residential proxies for masking IP address.
• Fresh and verified BIN/CVV.

b) Choose legal platforms​

• Look for platforms with a poor reputation for security (they are less likely to check the sources of funds).
• Avoid large and licensed companies as they have strict security measures.

c) Minimize the amount of transactions​

• Start with small amounts (like buying inexpensive jewelry) to test the system.
• Don't make too many purchases from one account.

d) Use drops​

• Set up a system of fake addresses to receive gold.
• Avoid using your real address.

5. Alternatives to Gold Carding​

If you want to make money on gold in legal ways, consider the following options:

a) Investments in gold​

• Buy gold through legitimate exchanges (e.g. ETFs, bars, coins).
• Resell it when prices rise.

b) Participation in auctions​

• Explore niches where demand exceeds supply (for example, rare coins or collectible bars).
• Use data analysis to predict profitable trades.

c) Affiliate programs​

• Register in affiliate programs of jewelry platforms and receive commission for attracted sales.

6. Conclusion​

Gold carding is an extremely risky and illegal method of earning money that can lead to serious consequences. Modern jewelry platforms and stores actively implement security systems, which makes this process even more difficult. If you want to develop your skills in gold trading or investing, it is better to focus on legal ways of earning money.
