We are on forum, and you, my reader, most likely know what carding is. In simple terms, it is the use of other people's cards to buy goods / services / material goods.
Before moving on to the interview, we need to understand a couple of concepts:

Drive - enter card data into the store
Drop - a person who does a certain job for you, usually it is an intermediary between the product and the client

Let's get started!

What's your history of entering carding?
I don't remember how exactly, it was back in 2001, I tried to drive in some kind of left card. Took CVV and hammered in, and voila - she passed.

I understand that your customers have no problems. Did you have any problems with the purchase of goods?
Not anymore. I have everything on stream, more than 10 dialers, drove in ~ 50 drops, +500 people around the world. There are our products in almost all cities of Russia and Ukraine.

Is there enough information on this topic in the clearnet?
Yes, all information can be obtained from the Internet - and not otherwise. For whom how, if there is time, it is not a question.

Income. How much is published per month?
Purely mine - in the region of $ 30000, even more.

It is always realized, if anything, I make promotions and sort it out like “hot cakes”.

- How did you manage such huge sums? What did you spend them on? Did you invest them in something already then?
I began to earn normal money ($ 3-5 thousand) only at the age of 18, after I learned about "real plastic". Immediately, my drops were bought by various stuff in stores around the world (which we all slept on is also in my book), and then I made connections with very strong hackers and was mainly engaged in selling / reselling dumps. Here the profitability of my work was already thousands of percent, and by the age of 21 I was earning 100k per month. Often, dumps with pins fell into my hands, which we happily poured in different countries. Now, by the way, the internet is also full of advertisements for the sale of dumps with pins - but don't be fooled, dumps with pins are like having a cache in your pocket, so no one sells them, of course. In addition to throwing.

I spent money mostly ineptly: on clothes, restaurants, cars, alcohol, cigars, nightclubs and whores. Something, of course, and invested - but in 90% of cases it was unsuccessful.

- How do you feel about money? Is there happiness in them?
Happiness is not at all in them, money is only a tool for achieving goals. Happiness, I believe, lies in realizing your full potential, unleashing all your talents and making our planet and people's lives better. As Jobs said, "take the world to new heights." And all these wars, inequality and other f *** ing throw humanity back. Therefore, although I am now engaged in business, but this is a forced measure, more than anything else I want to implement one educational project, which is exactly what should make the world a better place. And money is just a means for this. Give me now $ 20-50 thousand a month, for the rest of my life, and I would not be in business.

Clothes carding - how easy is it to fit in? Do you need to “quit the game” in time?
Any carding requires reputation and time, it takes a lot of work. Many newbies think that it is very easy here, but it's not, and they throw it on a trifle.

Safety in the first place should be, if you follow it, then everything will be verified.

- What life advice would you give guys?
Giving advice is generally not a very rewarding business, especially since I have already touched on this topic above, so read more (books on business and business magazines such as Forbes, Kommersant.Money, Secret Firmy), steal less and think more about which your startup. Well, use VPN, secret telegram chats, Tor, toad and condoms :)
 

"PROFESSIONS" OF THE SHADOW INTERNET: WAGES, SPECIFICITY, PROSPECTS - CARDING​

We continue the series of articles about professions in the darknet, and move on to the next most "promoted" profession in the shadow network - carding. How much "on average" do carders earn, why is it still alive and why is it dangerous.

Disclaimer: We do not promote illegal activities and strongly discourage breaking the law. This article is for informational purposes only, to dispel misconceptions about easy money.

Carding and its types​

Carding is a form of fraud in which a fraudster pays for goods and services on the Internet with someone else's bank card (usually a citizen of another country, an American/European), withdraws money from the card or otherwise converts the available data into tangible and intangible assets.

There are actually three directions of carding, each with different subtypes:
  1. Carding clothes through online stores - AliExpress, Amazon and other foreign commodity platforms, without knowing the pin code.
  2. "Draining" funds without knowing the PIN code into semi-fiat: replenishing the balance of SIM cards by approximately $500, withdrawing to payment systems such as PayPal, etc.
  3. Cashing out funds from a duplicate bank card through an ATM by stealing the card's PIN code (and all its data) using viruses that infect the ATM's RAM (after all, it also contains an operating system), or using special invisible overlays on the ATM's keyboard with small and unnoticeable technical devices inserted into the card reader that read the remaining data.

Actually, the keyboard and card reader overlays

But this is the most brazen and most profitable direction of carding. Many of these devices are not cheap, and preparation for such events must be at the highest level (install, copy in parallel, record card data on magnetic strips of cards like Pyaterochka, manage to cash out money from already recorded duplicates, manage to remove these overlays before "exposure", etc.).

Most modern ATMs read data from cards using a magnetic strip (the black strip on the back of the card), not a chip. At the same time, data from a stolen credit/debit card can be written to the same magnetic strip of a discount card or any discount card. A device that does this in the blink of an eye costs only $400-$1,000 and is sold legally even on AliExpress.

In fact, the above is the first reason why CARDDING IS ALIVE.

The second reason: paying online without hassle. For example, you bought credit card details on a dark forum from a hacker who recently hacked the server of, say, an online store where thousands of people paid with cards (and accordingly entered their card details, which went to the hacker and then to you). If you think you need access to a person's phone number, you don't.

In the West (USA/Europe) 3-D Secure is not used, there is no SMS confirmation. There they use a security code (not a PIN code), which is set when receiving a card from a bank to make purchases on the Internet. Accordingly, firstly: this code leaks, like all card data when hacked. Secondly: there are many sites where it is not even needed, for example, to order even an iPhone from AliExpress using someone else's card data, you just need to enter the card number, the owner's first and last name, the card expiration date and three digits from the back, the so-called CVV2. That's it, the money is written off, the iPhone flies to the specified address. It is not a fact that the person will have time to cancel the chargeback (but if they did not, everyone would be engaged in carding and think that it is so simple) or would even notice the withdrawal of money from the credit card (SMS notifications about withdrawals are very often disabled in the West). Amazon doesn't even require a cvv2 code, and to write off money, you only need the data from the front side; you don't even have to enter an SMS from a any card.

Carders earn money in different ways, and their skill level is very different: someone just turns on a proxy and starts to “hit” all available credit card data on different sites and systems from a computer (testing) and orders parcels to their home address (downs), and someone hangs himself with dedicated servers, VPN, virtual machines and orders data via drops (American/European), and upon receipt sends it to the address of his girlfriend/dad, etc.

On average, a more or less "verified" carder-stuffer expert (orders parcels with iPhones and liquid goods) is able to earn about $5,000-10,000 per month without much stress. "With stress" up to $50,000 per month for carders with 2-4 months of experience.

But don't think that carders don't get caught. They do, and how. True, to put it mildly, much less often than drug dealers on the darknet. And they earn, with a certain amount of experience and determination, many times more, and walk free - many times longer.

If we talk about carding with the theft of PIN codes, then here the amounts can reach $100,000 in 1-2 days, but, as you can guess, the risks of being cheated increase exponentially.
