"Credit Carding"

First of all, for those of you who do not know exactly what
carding is, well, it is the illegal use of credit cards for the
purchase of items. This can be very useful. Especially when you don't
have all the money you'd like. This file is of course not for the
professional "carder", but for the beginner who does not know how to
obtain or use a credit card to his/her advantage. Now you get a
history lesson, as usual in my files...

When MasterCharge first came out with the Credit Card, there were
three secrets that they had. And, as usual, people (phreaks!)found out
about them. These are the Account Number, the Signature Panel, and the
Magnetic Strip. Most of the codes for things have anywhere from 4-10
digits, making quite a few million possible combinations of numbers.
Credit cards have 16-20 digits. They aren't needed, but they make it
hard to hack a good code. MasterCharge and Visa both have about 70
million card holders, each with a unique number. Eight digits would
give you 100 million combinations, morethan enough for all the card
holders. 9 digits gives us one billion different numbers, and 13 is 10
TRILLION numbers.You can figure out the rest. Visa has about 13 digits in
its code, but out of 10 trillion numbers, only 65 million are working
accounts. That may sound like a lot, but it isn't. Then, there is
MasterCharge. Of the quintillions of possible accounts, only 11 million
work. The fake accounts are used, among other things, to hold upon TV for
advertisements. Guessing account numbers is just plainly not practical.
So, the first thing you have to do is obtain a card # from somewhere.
The best way is to go to your local supermarket or any store that uses
credit cards. Then, you watch them take out the trash. After they have
taken the trash out then you go over when the coast is clear and search
through their trash.

I know that it can get messy, but don't complain, just think
of the nice things that you will be able to get out of it in the
future. You are looking for carbons that they run the cards through.
Then, you take those home and write down the name, card number, and
the expiration date and the type of card that it is (Mastercharge,
Visa, American Express,etc.). You make sure that you have cards with
a good date on it.

Next comes the good part, the ordering. All you do when ordering
is that you call up a mailorder and then you tell them what you want
and your card number, and then they will ask for the place to send it
to.

Here comes the hardest part. Here are some of your options of
places to send it:

1. To a vacant house, apartment.
2. To a friend that will deny it ever arrived when they inquire about
it.
3. To someone's house that you do not know.

Let's examine these options in detail:

1. Sending to a vacant house or apartment. This is done by giving the
address of the vacant house/apartment. Then, when it arrives, the
deliveryman will leave it on the front porch or in the bushes.Then you
just go by the house and pick it up. You must take into account the
possibility that someone may moved into the house/apartment before it
gets delivered.

2. Sending to a friend and having him deny that it arrived. You tell
your friend to pick up the packages when they arive at his/her house
and then give them to you. Then, when the fuzz comes along to grab
the guy who it got sent to, your friend (and parents who never saw him
get it) will deny it. The fuzz won't mess with them any more!

3. Ok, you find some nice older people that don't know you and that
you don't live too closely to. Then, you order the stuff you want and
send it to that house. You call the people and make up a sad story
about how the company got the wrong address and they already sent it.
Ask to pick it up when it arrives, making sure not to give them your
real name, address, phone number, etc... The next way of obtaining a
credit card is to get it from an elite board. This is not the best
way, since this way the card is usually over drawn by the time you get
it, not to mention that not many boards would touch credit cards with
a ten-foot pole because they are too dangerous to mess with...

Another way to card and my favorite is to use the T.R.W. credit
information system. This is only if you have a good password, if you
do not or do not have a file explaining it do not call it. They DO
trace. A TRW numberis (619)-741-6016. The most fun way to get a card
number is to simply ask the person. All you need to know is their
bank. Simply call up on the fone, and whip into a quick masquerade of
a bank official:

Victim: Hello?

You: This is First National Security and Trust Loan Bank. We are
calling to notify you that your Visa credit limit has been raised
to one thousand dollars.

Victim: But...but...My limit used to be 100,000 dollars! There must be
some mistake!

You: No, I'm afraid not. Unless... there could have been a mistake in
the computer...do you have your card handy? I'll run a check on
the number.

Victim <worried>: I'll go get it!

And, you get the number. Phun, huh? Have fun, but BE CAREFUL. If you
get caught, forget where you read this!

This file is for the more advanced carder unlike the first file put out by
me which was for the complete novice.

I have recieved quite good responce to the file I wrote in about December
of 1984 on carding...Entitled The Basics of Carding. I have since been
exploring other means of getting and other uses for cards. In addition to
alaborating on my previous concepts. If you are new at carding and don't know how then I suggest you read my previous carding file available at all of the boards listed in the title.

1) As mentioned in the previous file was the method of getting carbons
from your local store which accepts credit cards. Well...it has come to my
attention that now in some stores if not all is that when they rip the carbons
from the machine that it rips the carbon off so that the whole card is not visable on the carbon. I have not run into any of those businesses that do do that but I have been told from a relyable source that this does happen at some places.

2) The Mail Box...As you know (or should know) that people recieve
there new cards in the mail. If you happen to have a route on the way home
from school/work where someone is gone during the day and don't get home until
after you do every day. Simply check there mail box every day on the way home. This will work far better if your mail box is right next to the guy's your going to get it from. When it arrives, simply take it...write your signature for that person
n the back...and go for it. You now have Credit Card ! Now comes the fun part...the buying. Unless you don't live in a big city I suggest that you go out of town to a place that out have never been to and don't plan on going to again for quite a
hile. This will not work if you don't
look at least 18. I cannot remember who brought this up...but someome
suggested that it is a good idea to get a joke going with the clerk taking your
card...if you notice a drastic change in there aptitude when they get the info
on the card you better get the hell out of there quick. Just to be safe I suggest that you get some
kind of fake I.D. to display when using your card...sometimes they will ask
for it and sometimes they will not. Make sure you do it all i a period of a
couple of days...and don't stay in the town or at least not on he same side of the town for more than one or two days. Make sure to act real casual when doing this....if out are really jumpy you might as well pull a gun on them and tell them to fill
up the bag with money...because you are as good as caught anyways. When doing this you must take into account the
possibity that they will find out what you are doing. If you think that they
are not buying your story it is time to make up a reason to leave for a second
(ie.I have to go to the bathroom) and them get out of there !

3) Here is another way of getting yourself some cool stuff. A friend
of mine has used this method and says that it is real good. It is
particularly good for those of you who do not look old enough to have a credit
card... but want to go get some
thing on an in-person type thing this one may be for you if you have the guts.
Call up a store out of town unless you live in a real big city. Tell them
that you are really busy and that you would like to order something and tell
them that he would like
his son/daughter to pick it up. Then ask.. Could I give you my credit card
and my information and have it ready for my son to pick it up. If they say
yes...just give them the info...then just drive over and pick it up You can
make up your own origanal story on who is picking up or why. This is a very good method.

4) Taking a Vacation. This is a REAL good thing...especially for this
summer. Here is a way to do it. Make a reservation with the airline and
destination of your choice. There are two different choices you can make at
this point.

1. Pay for it over the phone with your credit card..the best way
is through a travel agency. Then you will get your ticket...pay at the last
minute to the travel agency so they don't have time to find out that it is a
illegal purchase. They will give you your ticket and go for it! Use a different name and different airline and different card on the way back.

2. Is to make your reservation ahead of time without paying in
advance. Then...when you arrive you pay for the ticket. This requires the use
of a method so as you get the actual card and make yourself some kind of I.D.
such a buy(or card) a identification maker. Or get false I.D. other ways(there is a file on getting false I.D. on some boards) and then display the card and I.D. and pay for your card there...that way you can make sure that they don't have time to f
nd out that it is hot. Then enjoy your trip.

Ok, this is an actual example of a carding venture performed by someone
who I will not reveal hi name.

First, he went down to Travel Concepts, the local Travel Agency in a
shopping mall in my town. You will find that for the easiest place to obtain
a carbon from a place which doesn't have much other garbage. (ex:Travel Agency: Hallmark store: Record Shop...). I don't suggest that you goto Thriftway or Safeway because they have a ton of other garbage, such as rotten fruit and other such unplea
ant things. Use common sense when picking a place. Then he went to the back of the store and casually looked for their garbage can. Then, either before or after hours and go for it. Then he grabbed all he could find and took off back to his place
He then started reading the info off the card and putting it on paper so it was easier to read. He then searched through and found one that looked good, then called information and got his address ad phone number, assuming that the holder of he ca
d lives in the town from which you got the card from. Next, he placed the order with
Northeastern Software. This is all of what they asked for, and his replys.

CA= Carder Talking
NS= Northeastern Software talking

NS: Northeastern Software, may I help you?
CA: Yes, I would like to order your Novation Apple-Cat modeam & an Apple
Imagewriter.
NS: O.K....How are you billing?
CA: Credit card.
NS: What Kind?
CA: VISA.
NS: May I have your name, expiration date and card number please?
CA: Name, xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xx/xxxx
NS: One moment....Ok. What is your address?
CA: xxxx Anywhere
Anyplace, xx, xxxxx
But could you have it sent to my work adress^?
NS: Yes, what is that address?
CA: xxxx Dropozone St.
near-your-place, xx xxxxx
NS: Thank you for choosing Northeastern-
CS^: When will that arrive?
NS: Oh...7 Days.
CS: Ok, thanks, bye.
NS: Bye.

He first gave them the card holder's address, then put in his drop zone
for "Work Address." Also, sometimes most places will ask for other info like
phone number, driver's license, Social Security number, ect. If you have this
info, give it, if not, DO NOT HANG UP!!! If you just hang up they might get
slightly suspisious^ and report the attempt to the Card Co. who may inform
the card holder, or change the numbers. If you don't have any peice^ of info
they ask for, say "I don't have my SS card handy, I'll have to call back," or
make up your own believable story.

Phone Sex Services.

So you want to use a card to call a phone sex place do you... well, you have probably heard everything about all of there questions and methods of checking on those non call back ones. But, how about a way to do one on a call back. Here is one
f the better ways. Loops! As soon as you have placed yur^ order to a phone sex place, give them a number to call, and have them call one end of the loop, while you are waiting on the other number and bingo, you are on, here is an actual experience
hat a friend of mine tried using my idea:

He dialed it up.

OP=operator speaking
CD=Carder speaking

OP-Do you have a Visa or Mastercharge
CD-Yes I have a Visa
OP-What is your name as it appears on the card
CD-John Doe
OP-What is your Card number and Experation date?
CD-0000-0000-0000-0000 Exp 10/86
OP-And the bank that issued the card?
CD-Citibank
OP-What is your Address and Phone number
CD-0000 Nowhere Dr. Anywhere, AA 00000. 1-000-000-0000
OP-Are you calling from this phone number?
CD-No, I am calling from out of my state.
OP-Are you at a residence or Motel/Office
CD-A residence
OP-And what is that number?
CD-Then you enter the loop line number( the one without the tone)
OP-Ok, we will have Traci call you back in about 5mins.

Then, you call the loop line number (with the 1000hz tone) and wait to be conected. Make sure that the info is correct or else kiss the Loop goodbye.
This does work if you do it right.

A Word of Warning

Unfortunately carding is illegal, and you can be arrested for credit card fraud. Recently there have been a number of carders arrested for credit card fraud all around the nation, and a few good elite boards have gone down because of arrests. S
be careful.. Here are a few tips on how not to get caught.

When sending a package to a vacant house, always walk by it first and check to see if anyone is watching it. Then, if you think that the coast is clear then go in...if anyone is watching (like the police or FBI) then by all means DON'T RUN! Thi
is a mistake tht^ a few have made. Just casually walk on down the street, and never go by there again.

---Using your families/own card---

Yes, this is rather new...as in I thought it out last night. That, why don't you just use your own/families card. This is far the safest method I can think of...other than using a friends. Comprihend this...insurence pays for it! So, you can
harge massive things to your bill, and then simply say, hey, we didn't order this..when using your parents...make sure that you don't order something like a stack ampfifier or a new Apple when living at home because if your parents hae an I.Q. of ove
5.5 then the should be able to figure things out, other than taht, it is grea. I ve not tried this method as of yet. It's pretty cool. When using this method you ae allready for anything that they might ask...like drivers licence--social security
-address--etc. withut having to research your victim.

Not Carding...

This is not carding....but put in here for the hell of it! Let your mind think about this for a while. This is not a valid idea in erea's where U.P.S. doesn't leave stuff on doorsteps or somewhere without signatures. This is pretty elementary...ye
knowone has mentioned it to me. Simply, if you are sending a package to your home (via U.P.S.), and paying for it (i know that is rare), but anyway... simply, while knowone is around...take the package, and tell U.P.S. that you never got it, this t
kes a bit of convincing. Then, you will just get another one. So, in a case for instance, with ordering a 10 meg hard drive, simply when it comes, take it in, and say that you never got it, then they will mail you another one. And BBOOOOMM! you ha
e 20megs instead of 10megs..or sell one of th 10megs and get your money out of it, and you get a 10meg hard drive for free!

Well, enough for now... if this goes as well as the first one, there will be more. Ohh yes, must have a stupid disclaimer. I hereby take no responsibility for the use of this information, this was presented in a non bias format and is simply a
documentary of informtion...this file does not condone the use of CC's or the cheating of the Credit system, meerly to inform individuals such as Newsweek and Time write fies on Cocaine and Murder, but they do not condone the uses of them, or to my k
owledge (who knows) practice them...

*****************CARDING VOL. #1 BY : FX******************

Ok....you guys have been asking me for this for ever.....so here it is.

^^^^^^^^^^^^DISCLAIMER....This is for informational purposes only^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ok.....

Seems that there are alot of people in our "eLiTe" little room that go
there and dont even know how to card. They come there to buy shit...thats not
what this room is for. Learn to card shit on your own...and you won't have
to spend money.งง

GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION YOU REALLY NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
((This text is for AOL carding, there are many other ways to get the
information that you need...if you are interested...IM or EMAIL me))

1. Well...the only really good way to get "VALID" information is go
phish for the info yourself. There are several good Phishers
online...although the best phisher is by hand. If you are too lazy
to phish for your CC#'s, then you will never know if the nubers you
get from others are any good and if you are the only one using them.
I suggest that you phish your own, Make up a good line about how
AOL lost thier BILLING information and you need it again to verify
thier acct. The info you need to request is the following:

A1. (FULL)Name as it appears on billing statement.
A2. (FULL)Address as it appears on billing statement.
((This means City,State,Zip, ect also))
A3. Phone number with AREA CODE.
A4. Card number with Experation Date.
A5. Type of card i.e.,...Visa..MC..AMEX
A6. The BANK that issued the card.. Barrnett..Chemical.ect.
A7. You should also try to find out if its a GOLD or not.

$$$$$ FX's TIPS TO GOOD CARDING ON AOL $$$$$$$$$
---------------------------------------------------
You should always thank the person who gives you thier info and
tell them that it was a one time process and that NO AOL STAFF will ever
ask for thier info again..and if someone does...to report them right
away...this makes them feel better about giving you the info and you have
a better chance of being able to use thier card.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PICKING A PLACE TO ORDER YOU SHIT FROM..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, this is important. First of all...I do not suggest that you use
any online stores to order your shit...I just have had real close calls
and bad turn out rates from online. So I think its shit. You should choose
a good mail order company. "Computer Discount Warehouse" works good for PC
shit...although they will probably soon catch on to whats up. Any mail
order place that accepts ALL the major cards are good sites. Also, you
should make sure they offer different shipping methods..this is important.
The faster the shipping method...the less time they have to verify the
card before the order is actually shipped. For anything over $300.00 you
run the chance of having to sign for the shit. But I will talk more about
that in the next few sections. So, anyway...pick a good MAIL ORDER company.
I have carded from local businesses with great sucess...but you have
to first master the mail Order scamms. OK...now you have a good Place to
order shit from...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLACING THE ORDER CORRECTLY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I realize that alot of you are young kids ( 14-16 ). I am not, so i can
only tell you what I do to place good orders. If your voice sounds like a
kid...then you might have problems with this part. Also if you are a real
nervous type person and cant lie well. Then you shouldn't be carding.
First...know what you want to order...all the part numbers and prices.
Make out a "shopping List" of what you are ordering...have it all in front
of you ready to read off so that you make no mistakes. Also...have ALL the
Card info ready in the same fasion. You should try to memorize most of
it at least a little. YOU ARE THE PERSON..REMEMBER THAT. The people on the
other line are assuming that you are JOHN DOE and that it is your card.
You have to keep them thinking that...or else they will check the card for
sure so that they dont get thier ass in trouble.
Be calm and place your order...you will of course want to send the
shit to a "DROP SITE" which I will explain in the next section. You always
want to have a reason for sending shit to another address...and the person
should be a realative. Wheather or not they even exist doesnt matter.
So...after you clear the information on you part...they will ask where you
want it shipped. You tell them the address of the drop site and tell them
to put it to the attention of GARY DOE...your brother. And since you arent
sure when he will be home all the time..since its likley the card you have
is from a different state....you ask them if there is a way to leave the
shit if the guy isnt home cause you arent sure all the time. Usually they
can leave a messin the computer for the carrier stating that if the guy isnt
home to leave it on the side of the house or where ever you say.
This has been very common at the places I order from. Since you, the
card holder, wont be there anyway...there is no one to sign. So they usually
will do it without asking questions.
I never use NEXT DAY AIR or GROUND. Don't be impatient. I always
use 2and day ground..which translates into UPS for most areas.
This will get you your shit fast ... and also avoid a possible MUST SIGN
flag being put on your order. I hate going to a drop site and seeing a
note saying...come to the post office and sign for this delivery.
We will try 3 more times to deliver before returning the merch...
AHHHHH.... I fuckin hate that. Thats usually what NEXT DAY AIR does to you.
Now you should know the basics of getting a good order in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$$$$$$$$FX's TIPS:: I sometimes call and check on my orders the next 2 days
to see if everything is ok...if it isnt..they will let you know'
that your card didnt verify or it didnt have enough credit. ALWAYS
try to do all this from a pay phone. MOst have 800#'s so no
quarter is needed.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

UMMM....HOW DO I GET A DROP SITE?????
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short and sweet....a vacant house...someone on vacation...or a house
where people arent home in the day...and you know for sure they arent.

I usually drive around.....look for reality signs....long grass..lots
of papers in the lawn...shit like that. I personally feel that its
pretty easy. Some of you just happen to live in a bad place with no
vacant houses. Well...suxxx to be you. Order it to your niegbors house
or something....cause otherwise...your fucked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$$$$$$$$FX's TIPS :: I usually have a buddy go with me to pick the shit
up...we drive around the whole area makin sure that
there are no cops parked in odd places or vans and
shit like that. You can usually spot something wrong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS FOR PICKING YOUR SHIT UP AND STAYIN OUT OF JAIL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well...there is no FOOL PROOF way of doing this...but like I just mentioned
above...make sure you scout the area on that day before you pick your shit
up. I would also suggest waiting for the shit to be delivered on the day
it is supposed to come... Just hang around the general area and wait..you'll
see the UPS truck around...its hard to miss a big ass BROWN truck!!
In my area..UPS usually comes between 11am and 2pm. As soon as the truck
leaves the shit....get it and dip. Make sure no one gets your plate#. If
you are using a car..take off the plate just for the pick up. Then when you
get a ways off...stop and put it back on so you dont get pulled over for
that stupid shit. If you get it on foot or bike...just haul ass. Never
hang around...thats just plain stupid. And don't tell anyone about your
shit...cause even friends fuck up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

OHHH...YA....YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU CARD IS GOOD FIRST !!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This may sound corny..perverted..or whatever...but the best way that I have
found to verify cards is to call one of those 1-800 sex lines that accept
credit cards and try to use one of your cards. You will have to talk to the
operator when you first call cause they need to verify the billing address
and shit...so once again..if your voice sounds like a little kid...you
need to wait till you grow up to card....BITCH.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

YOU CAN DEPEND ON ALL THIS INFO BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I DO IT....SO IF YOU
WANT TO DO IT RIGHT...NOT GET CAUGHT...FOLLOW THESE GUIDLINES...........

IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE ANY OF THESE POINTS...THEN GO AHEAD...GOOD LUCK.

I CARD SHIT ALL THE TIME...AND I AM NOT IN JAIL....SO FUCK ANYONE ELSE WHO

TRIES TO SAY ANYTHING I DON'T LIKE!!!

GOOD LUCK.....BE SAFE...HAVE FUN....AND MOST OF ALL...

DONT GET GREEDY...GREEDY PEOPLE HATE JAIL !!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS....CARD ME SOMTHIN BITCH.

INTRODUCTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, my board is back up in full effect... So give it a call... Just for
your knowledge, Shadows of IGA is my BBS's name, not a group or anything like
thats. I wrote this file over the course of 3 months (boy, I never put things
off until later), and now, as of 2-24-90 it is good to go. Enough of that,
now onto the file...


AMERICAN EXPRESS NOTES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CARDS THAT START WITH: ARE VALID ONLY IN:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3764-2 and 3764-3 Brazil
3707 Mexico
3770-00 thru 09 Venezuela and the Netherland Antilles
3770-20 thru 24 Venezuela and the Netherland Antilles
Cards starting with:
3770-10 thru 3770-19 and 3770-25 are from Venezuela but can be used
anywhere in the world.


DISCOVER CARD NOTES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authorization Telephone Number: 1800-233-5656
1. Card Number
2. Merchant Number
3. Amount of Purchase
4. Experation Date
Discover Merchant Service Dept: 1800-322-4566


A DIFFERENT APPROACH:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sure at least once in life you've been watching one of those stupid
Television Shopping clubs and have seen something that you would like. Well,
with this company:
1800-284-3100
You can sit and hack out peoples Membership Number, much like you hack out
voice system codes. In my next carding file, I'll include a new number
game concerning this company. The accounts are 9 digits long, and seem to
all be around or under 180000000. The company keeps the persons name,
address, phone number, cc, etc all in their records, but the operators are
somewhat stupid and can most of the time be easily bullshitted into telling
you all the info you need to know. One stupidshit actually told me all of
the persons card numbers!


WHATS THE BEST:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shit, I couldn't begin to count the amount of times I've been asked "Which
card is best to use?". As far as I'm concerned, it's basicly personal
preference, although some cards have distinct advantages over others. Visas
and MC's are accepted by vertually EVERYONE, and are pretty easy to come by.
Discover cards, on the other hand, and hard for the companies to check,
therefor good for you. AmEx has the wonderful floating limit, so if you
John B. Spenders card, you can have hella fun. I use Visas most of the time,
and then MC, Discover, and A
card you know the most about will always be the best to use.


MORE VERIFICATION NUMBERS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As if there isn't already enough verification numbers floating around in the
Hack/Phreak community, here are a few more... Remember, these DO deduct the
amount of money off of the card, and you should enter at lease $25 for a Visa
(which is the average floor limit) or $50 for any of the others. A smaller
amount will only draw more attention to your use of their account and either
help in busting you, killing your cards, or killing your account.

STICKY SITUATIONS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may have been foiled once or twice by a company that checks the number
by calling 555-1212 and seeing if it's registered to the cardholders name,
well, the only way around this is to give them a unlisted number, or, by
using CBI and a handy-dandy phone book, pull up a persons CC. This is only
in the case that they check the registration, and not that they call up the
place to check. If you really want to ensure everything goes ok, you can
autodial the person for 4 or 5 days, until the company ships the package off,
thus ensureing that the company doesn't get through, and if they do, chances
are the people won't answer!
If the company wants to call you back, keep a list of nearby payphone
numbers that they can call that you can wait at, usually you can ask a
company that if they are going to call you back, could they please call you
back right now, because otherwise it's hard for them to get in touch with
you.
Another option available to the callback problem (when there is no l
available, or they don't say when they're gonna call back) is to have a number
call forward to your house. Or to be even more safe, have a number call
forward to a number that call forwards to your house. Or if you are using
a loop, and the person lives in your areacode/city, have THEIR number forward
to the loop, and call UPS and have them forward the packages from THEIR house
to your drophouse!!! This is an Exceptionally good method. The amount of
rerouting really makes it a hastle for the feds/cops to track you down. One
note on UPS forwarding, they will forward only 1 shipment, so if you are
shipping hella stuff to the house, make sure to space them about 1 week and
everytime you pick up a package, call UPS and forward again.
If you're into weapons (like me) and want some good places to get them from,
check out the file "Where to get Weopons", written by me, and available on
Ripco and my board for sure. One interesting twist it to call up the police
station, get an officers name & badge number (they are required to give them
to anyone who asks) and then use the phonebook and CBI to pull up their stats.
Once you get them, you can buy all that cool equiptment that says "Sold only
to Law Enforcement Personell." Also, alot of the Rifles available can be
bought with credit cards with little or no effort on your part. They don't
check your background record (such as criminal) very ofte
about that. If you decide to go for a Rifle, I would highly recommend the
AR-7 Survival Rifle (around $100), AK-47 Assualt Rifle (around $400), and
the Awesome USAS-12 Auto-Shotgun (around $800)!!! Here's just a few of the
stats on the USAS (taken from Special Weapons and Tactics):
U.S.A.S.-12
Universal Sporting Automatic Shotgun
o Gas Operated o Available Semi or Full Auto
o Pistol Grip o Rapid Firing-360 rounds per minute
o Cylinder Bore Choke o Quick Reload option
o Reduced Felt Recoil o Multi-Projectile Capability
o Select fire Option o Single Round Lethality
Gauge- 12 Finish- Parkerized
Barrel- 18 1/4" Choke- Cylinder Bore
Length- 38" Shell Size- 2 3/4"
Weight- 12 Pound Magazine Cap- 10 round Box
20 round Drum

The gun vaguely resembles a M16-2a, but is about 1 1/2 the size. It got
great reviews from the Magazine, and I've shot it a few times and loved it.
It's currently being used by law enforcement in L.A. and Miami.
Also another good item to get is from Radio Shack (yes, they can make a
few good things other than 'cheap' parts), and is the 20 Channel Programmable
Scanner. Usually they will print out an updated list of all of the freq. in
your area (including local cops, security companies, etc...).


CBI & AFFILIATES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CBI is vaguely like TRW, with the same type of credit services, except some
companies have CBI cut off the last 2 to 4 digits of the card (2 AmEx, 4 Visa
and MC), but not ALL companies by far. Bank of America, and Citibank both
are missing the last few digits, and a few others do the same, but for the most
part, all the number is there, and the last 2 or 4 usually can be gained by
calling the person up and acting
4 digits of their card. Now to use CBI, you must have the following info:

NAME ADDRESS MIDDLE INITIAL (if any)
CITY STATE ZIP CODE

Which is entered in this format:

nm-LAST NAME,FIRST NAME,MIDDLE INITIAL. [RETURN]
ca-STREET NUMBER,1ST 3 LETTERS OF STREET NAME,###,CITY,ST,ZIP. [CTRL] S
/
Boulevard BLD
Street ST
Avenue AV
Lane LN
Court CT
Circle CIR
Park Way PY
Here's an Example:

PERSONS STATS ENTER LIKE THIS TO CBI

Ronald McReagan nm-mcreagan,ronald. [RETURN]
123 Whitehouse Circle ca-123,whi,cir,washington dc,va,12110. [CTRL] S
Washington DC, VA
12110

Now, if you have his social security number, then enter:

dtec-SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. [CTRL] S

And you will get the persons Name, Address, and Age (even in the correct format
to be reentered). If you make a mistake at any time while you're typing, just
continue on like nothing was entered wrong and then once it says nonexistant
person, reenter it. Now every time you connect to CBI and logon, it will reply
XXXX-proceed, if the XXXX is D2D2, then don't call back that day, but it's fine
to call back the next day. Try to limit each call to about 5-10 minutes, and
call during business hours of the port you're on, this will ensure the long
life of the account and your prosperity! The codes are in this format:
###XX###-XX,visa,X,,#.
,.visa- are all constants, the # represent numbers, and the X represents a
letter. When connecting to CBI, connect at 1200 and at 1/2 duplex, once
connected, hit [CTRL] S and [RETURN] three times, then enter the code, and
hit [CTRL] S when done. CBI recognises ONLY lowercase letters, so no
capitals!


PEOPLE VIA CBI:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is also very easy to find new cards, etc by using the DTEC feature of
CBI and just typing in Social Security Numbers. After about 10 or so attempts
you usually will find 1 or 2 people, not bad considering you have ALL the
persons stats!


AN INTERESTING NOTE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One interesting note relating to CBI, ask some of your friends
for their Social Security number. Tell them that you will do a magic trick
with it or something stupid like that. Then, pull up their CBI records, and
Wala! You now have a fake Identity, Name, Age, Birthdate, etc... I always
keep 10-12 on hand in case of an emergency!
Also, CBI does not always give you the persons age, most of the time it
doesn't! And if you search out cards by using DTEC and guessing the number,
it's also possible to get 2 to 3 people all on the same Social Security #!
ES is also a Variable that is only listed when CBI feels it would be relavent
to a person being denied/given credit.


DTEC RESPONSE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is what you would see if you entered DTEC xxx-xx-xxxx:

M1 OF 1 NM-REAGAN,RONALD,S CA-1234,WASHINGTON,CIR,WASHINGTON DC,VA,12110
1/89,FA-1234,101,HY,SMITHVILLE,CA,95668,10/82 ES-PRESIDENT,USA
SS-xxx-xx-xxxx AGE 81&
END OF REPORT CBI AND AFFILIATES - 01/01/89

Ok, FA means the First Address, and CA means Current Address. ES means
what his/her occupation is, SS is his Social Security number, and the date that
follows the addresses refers to the last date he was reported at that location.
One note on the ES response; it is not always on the record, so don't assume
that the person is unemployed.


NM AND CA RESPONSE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* 009 CBI CRC #### LLLLLLLL AVE STE 120 CCCCCCCCCC VA 12110(xxx)xxx-xxxx

&
END OF REPORT CBI AND AFFILIATES - 01/01/89

In the above, most are the same as the DTEC, except, PR/OI means Prior
Convictions, EMP means the length he has been employed, ACCTS meand the number
of accounts (like if he had a Visa, MC, and Sears, he would have 3 ACCTS).
INQS stands for Inquires, and is followed by the name, ID code, and date the
file was researched. At the top, the line I slaughtered is the Address of his
local CBI building, followed by their phone number (call to get an INTERESTING
recording). RPTD stands for Last Reported User, and OPND is when the account
was opened. H/C somethimes stands for the highest amount that can be charged,
and the BAL stands for the current Balance. The 12k is $12,000 limit, and the
CITICORPMC just means CitiCorp Bank and MasterCard (wow, so hard to figue out).
ECON refers to who can use the card, I for Individual, J for Joint (Which
usually means the person is married), and A for Authorized. As for the rest,
you're on your own. One thing to also keep in mind, just because it's says
CitibankVS, doesn't mean it's a Citibank Visa Card, it could also be a Card
that Citibank has put a waver on.


SUPPLY & DEMAND, THE MONEY METHOD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although I personally have never played too much with this, I have known
quite a few Phreaks whom this has paid off for. This method involves you
calling up something, like Western Union, and telling them you're the card-
holder. Then, ship money off to another identity you have, to another
Western Union office. They do require identification, but I researched and
found out two interesting facts:
o A college Picture-ID will suffice (which can easily be
gained during an enrollment rush).
o You can also send money and tell them to ask you a certain
question that only you would know (such as the card holders
mothers maiden name (one of their favorites)) and then they
don't require any ID.
About as much as you can get safely in one shot is $500, but thing if you
live in a big city, you might have 4 or 5 Western Union locations, which
means $500 from each location, for a total of $2000-2500. The amount will
rise supprisingly fast. Try this no more then 2 weeks straight and then don't
touch it for about 3 or 4 months (the longer the better).


DEAD MAN'S DROP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now this method is about as good as it gets, and if you can't card and get
something via this method, then give up, because you suck. First, flip open
the local newspaper, and go straight to the obituaries (and you thought the
title of this section was just a play on words!). Then via 555-1212 find out
his phone number and address (or at least the number and then use a CN/A).
Then connect with CBI and pull up his records. Now it takes Visa
The power and gas company, about 1 month to shut down all of his services, so
for that month you can card stuff using his card to his address and then pick
it up from there. Keep in mind that he might have a wife, and a good indicator
is a Joint account.


MC BANK IDENTIFIERS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Mastercards, I'm sure you've all been asked for the four digit number
that appears on the top above the card number on the real card, and did the
worst thing possible, brain lock-hang up. Here are a few of the more common
identifiers that are around. One note: Identifiers almost always start with
either a 1 or a 6. And if you find any more, leave them to me in mail on any
System I call regularly.

CARD BANK
-----+----------------------------
1263 - Chemical Bank
1033 - Manufactures Hannover Trust
1035 - Citibank
6017 - MBNA
1665 - Chase Manhattan


DEATH VIA SELF-INCRIMINATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the FBI, etc... Favorite ways of nailing your ass to the wall in self
incrimination. And we as Phreaks are almost always able to be drawn into
their trap. Thing I am always very careful of are people who you mention
something to and they know what something is in conjuction with, but not how
to aquire or use it. Also, I personally NEVER -sell- information!! By selling
it, you have just shoved a Dilldo with FBI written on it up your ass. They
love to thrash people who sell. Trading... Thats a different story. Always
be careful of someone who says they have Mob affiliation, for one simple
reason, Feds have somehow gotten it into their minds that phreaking and every-
thing that falls under that broad title is somehow affiliated wit
So when they say "Ya, I've got a great deal going on with the Mafia here in
Alabama", be wary. I also do not often associate with the Mob/Mafia. Don't
fuck with them, and they won't fuck with you.
One GPhile I HIGHLY recommend is written I believe by someone involved in
Phrack and concerns interrogation. It is on Ripco and is a Must for anyone
who is involved in illegal actions.
Never narc on a fellow phreak! No one hates a Narc more then the Phreak
community, and believe me, they have been known to fuck people up majorly due
to a speach impedament. When the cops say they'll give you a lighter sentence
or tell you if you confess, you'll walk, Tell them to fuck off. Cops don't
have the athority to do anything like that. And very rarely will then even
look twice if you name names.
Freelance Narcs are fairly common, and they are the perverbial 'Mercenary'
of the hack/phreak world. They are just every day people who sell info to
big businesses that are getting harrassed. And believe me, they can say/do
anything they want to get your info. These dudes are a Phreaks Nightmare.
If by some strange/demented/suicidal flaw in your character you decide to
start selling info, always be careful of how you get the money. I've known
of quite a few people who recieved more than money at Western Union offices.


THE PHONE RUN-AROUND:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One method with very good results from US Robotics is this one. What you
do is get a card with a totally off-the-wall bank on
any area code (although it is best if it's in your area). Then call up the
company and order something, now, if they ask for the banks number, you are
in business. Tell them the hi end of the loop and have a friend on the low
end who will say "John Doe Bank, may I help you?", make sure your friend has
all of the cards info so he can answer questions correctly. Then most of
the time, the company will ship the shit off, thinking everythings cool!


TRADING THE BAD FOR THE GOOD:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One extreamly nasty thing to do, is to card something someone you know has,
and then ask them to bring theirs over. When they leave the room, swap the
carded on with the legitimate one and wala, if you get busted, the serial
numbers on it and the carded item won't match and you can make up any old
story about how you aquired it.


RESOURCE MATERIAL:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a few good books to pick up at your local library, if someone hasn't
already 5-fingured 'em.

1. You Can find Anyone - Eugene Ferraro
2. Finder's Fee - Ralph D. Thomas
3. How to find Missing Persons - Ronald George Eriksen II
4. The Computer and the Law - Unknown
5. The Laws and Legislation of Credit Card Fraud - Unknown (same as above)
6. Privacy Laws in the Computer Age - Unknown (same as above)

Books 4-5 are VERY good resource material for the laws of the US, and laws
that apply to only your state. Books 1-3 give you a good working idea of how
to re-find a persons credit stat


NUMBERS GAME:

Now some clues to this game are obvious, like in the second row, the third
to the last zero is always 0, and in the first row, in the 9th-12th digit
part, if it's the start of a thousand, it is either a X002 or 3, and it
always jumps in intervals of 50's, except for X050, which sometime will be
followed by a 1 (ex: X051).


GIMMIE A B FOR BANK:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a list of Issueing banks via the first 4 digits on Visas and MC's.
Visas are on the Left, Mastercards on the Right.

VISA MASTERCARD
CARD BANK CARD BANK
-----+--------------------------+---------------------
4024 - Bank of America 5282 - Wells Fargo
4128 - Citicorp 5424 - Citibank
4302 - HHBC 5432 - Bank of New York
4310 - Imperial Savings 5410 - Wells Fargo
4317 - California Federal


THE SCANNER METHOD:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have found it very prosperous to go to Radio Shack and purchase a Scanner.
If you ask, they will usually supply you with a list of all the frequencies
used by cops, rent-a-cops, airports, fire depts, etc... Now, go to the High-
way partrols frequency and listen for when they call in a persons drivers
license, license plate, and name. Write these down and then flip over to the
outgoing channel, and listen. Copy down his name, address, etc.. and then
pull him up via CBI. Wala! You know have his Drivers license as well!


STOP-N-SHOP METHOD:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One method that still amazes me to see work is the Stop-N-Shop method. I
origionally concieved this about 6 months ago, and have been able to do it to
the same stores, over and over again. What you do is get some local loser
(He's got the dangerous part) and you go wait at some payphone. Then he goes
to somewhere like the Good Guys, or Curcuit City, or whatever and looks
around until he finds something like a portable CD player or Pocket TV, and
the he asks to call home (the payphone). You answer and pretend to be his
dad, and ask if you can just give your card number over the phone so your son
can get it right now. Most of the time they will allow you to do this, but
if they don't, you've commited no crime, and they have no proof it was you
at the payphone (therefor, saf
the loser something like "We'll pick up 6 things for me first, and then 3
things for you after that." If he doesn't agree, tell him you will go else-
where for help and he will most likely comply... And anyways, losers grow on
trees (or near Commie game sections of Computer stores). This method rates
a 8 on danger scale (for loser, 2 for you), and a 9 on the profit scale (It's
called 'Instant Gratification').


CONCLUSION:
~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this file helps you in all of your future endevors, and that they
may all be profitable. Keep your eyes out for my older GPhiles and be watching
for even MORE on the way! If you have any questions, or comments concerning
this file, or a suggestion for upcoming files, call Shadows of IGA and leave me
