Cashing out stolen bank data (e.g. CC+CVV) is one of the key stages of carding. Fraudsters use various methods to convert stolen funds into cash or monetize them. Let's look at the main ways to cash out CC+CVV online:
It is important to remember: participating in such schemes is a criminal offense and can lead to serious legal consequences.
1. Online shopping and resale of goods
This is one of the most common ways of using stolen data.- How does this work:
- Fraudsters use CC+CVV to purchase expensive goods (electronics, jewelry, household appliances) on popular online platforms.
- Products are sent to fictitious addresses (drops) or through intermediaries.
- After receiving the goods, they are sold on the secondary market (for example, on eBay, Avito or through social networks).
- Examples:
- Buying smartphones, laptops or gaming consoles.
- Purchasing gift cards for resale.
- Risks:
- Many large retailers are implementing security systems such as checking delivery addresses and comparing them with cardholder data.
- If the fraudster uses an address that does not match the card details, the transaction may be declined.
2. Buying gift cards
Gift cards are a convenient way to monetize stolen data.- How does this work:
- Fraudsters use CC+CVV to buy gift cards from popular brands (Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, etc.).
- Gift cards are then sold on specialized platforms or used to pay for other goods.
- Advantages:
- Gift cards are more difficult to track because they often do not require personal information.
- They can be easily sold or used for personal purposes.
- Risks:
- Some companies block gift cards if they detect suspicious activity.
3. Transferring funds via online services
Fraudsters can use stolen data to transfer money through electronic payment systems.- How does this work:
- The stolen data is used to link the card to an account on a payment platform (for example, PayPal, WebMoney, Skrill).
- Money is transferred to other accounts or cashed out through drops.
- Examples:
- Opening a PayPal account using a stolen card.
- Transfer funds to cryptocurrency wallets.
- Risks:
- Payment systems actively monitor suspicious transactions and may block an account.
- Some services require additional verification (for example, uploading documents), which complicates the process.
4. Using cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies provide anonymity and convenience for scammers.- How does this work:
- The stolen data is used to purchase cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin) through online exchangers.
- The cryptocurrency is then transferred to other wallets or cashed out via P2P platforms.
- Advantages:
- Cryptocurrencies are more difficult to track, especially if they use private blockchains (such as Monero).
- Fraudsters may use "mixers" to hide the source of funds.
- Risks:
- Some exchangers require identity verification.
- Legislation in many countries is tightening control over cryptocurrencies.
5. Creating fake online stores
Fraudsters may create fake online stores to cash out stolen data.- How does this work:
- A fictitious store is created offering goods or services.
- CC+CVV is used to make "purchases" in this store.
- The money is transferred to the scammers' account.
- Examples:
- Selling non-existent goods.
- Organization of fictitious subscriptions or services.
- Risks:
- Such schemes are often uncovered by law enforcement agencies.
- Some payment systems block suspicious stores.
6. Using "mules" and "drops"
To minimize risks, fraudsters often involve intermediaries.- Mules (Money mules):
- People who transfer money between accounts or withdraw cash.
- Mules may act as willing helpers or be unaware of their role in the scam.
- Drops:
- People who provide their addresses to receive goods or money.
- Drops can be hired specifically or become victims of fraud.
- Risks:
- Mules and drops are often targeted by law enforcement.
- Some mules may be subject to criminal prosecution.
7. Use of automated systems
Fraudsters may use specialized software to automate the cashing out process.- How does this work:
- The programs check the functionality of the stolen data.
- Automatic scripts make test purchases or transfers.
- Examples:
- Using bots for mass CC+CVV verification.
- Programs for automatic transaction generation.
- Risks:
- Anti-fraud systems can quickly detect suspicious activity.
- Using such tools may result in your IP address being blocked.
8. Withdrawal of funds through casinos or gambling
Some scammers use online casinos to cash out stolen data.- How does this work:
- CC+CVV is used to fund your online casino account.
- Funds are withdrawn to another account or cashed out through drops.
- Advantages:
- Casinos often offer anonymous withdrawal methods.
- It is difficult to track the movement of money through gambling platforms.
- Risks:
- Many casinos implement strict KYC (know your customer) systems.
- Some countries prohibit gambling, which makes the process more difficult.
9. Using crowdfunding platforms
Scammers may use platforms to collect donations.- How does this work:
- A sham campaign is created to raise funds.
- CC+CVV is used for "donations" to this campaign.
- The collected funds are transferred to the scammers' account.
- Risks:
- The platforms actively monitor suspicious activity.
- Users can report a scam campaign.
Conclusion
Cashing out CC+CVV online is a complex process that requires careful planning and the use of various tools. However, many methods have a high risk of being detected by law enforcement or security systems.It is important to remember: participating in such schemes is a criminal offense and can lead to serious legal consequences.
