The topic is of an introductory nature, and does not call you to action. On the contrary, I will tell you why you should not engage in carding.

Today you will learn what carding is, with what thoughts and intentions people come to it, and how it all ends. I will tell you how many people work to keep this industry operational, from drops to document renderers, and, it would seem, waiters. You will learn where carders get credit card data from, and how not to become their victim, how to protect yourself and your data from fraudsters, what tricks like spy devices on ATMs and hidden cameras they use. I will tell you why you cannot give your card into the wrong hands without supervision.

You will understand whether it is safe to make purchases in online stores and enter your personal data online. I will also recall the largest data leaks and tell you how to protect yourself from them. We will talk about who the drops are, why they are needed, and do they understand what they are doing? Or are they victims of the situation? About how carding works in the service sector in this topic.


Why go to work for less than $ 500 a month if I can make a thousand in a day of leisurely work? And I still need to pay taxes. And what will I have left? Will it be enough for a normal life? But I also want to eat. That's why I chose karting. I've been in this topic for more than half a year, I'm a student and I already understand that a regular job is not for me.

It's too slow. Computer. Here is my best friend. I can be anywhere in the world and I don't care about the quarantine now, whether jobs are being cut or anything else. It is impossible to lay me off. I am sure that I will always be able to earn money for dinner. By the way, who will pay for it today? John Smith from California or Sam Patrick from New Orleans?

Can I call this stealing? I'm not sure. Do I feel remorse? No. Banks steal hundreds of millions from people, so why can't I take a few thousand from them?

These are the thoughts and intentions with which most guys come to carding. This is not stealing, I don’t want work and who will pay for my dinner. But this is stealing, and there really won’t be any work, and the state will pay for dinner. After all, after a short time of doing this, you will end up in prison. Carding is a huge industry, to maintain which about a dozen illegal professions work, from those who steal credit card data to people who draw fake documents.

Every year, they cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the economy and are constantly replenished with people who do not understand the risk they are taking for the sake of short-term profit. Today you will learn what carding is, how it deceives and how not to become its victim. And you will also hear an exclusive story from a blogger who used the services of carders and got burned on it.

With the popularity of Tor and the Darknet in general, too many people have become interested in carding. Previously, information about it could only be found on special forums, which were not easy to get to. Now, any Internet user is very likely to come across an advertisement offering to buy equipment for 50% of the cost or an ad for a job where you just need to cash out money from a card.

But before we begin, I want to draw your attention to the fact that this video is for informational purposes only and was created to warn as many people as possible from the tricks of carders. After all, as they say, forewarned is forearmed. Also, perhaps, it is worth paying attention to the fact that I myself have not, do not and will not engage in carding or any other methods of fraud, so do not be confused by the name of the channel.

So, I am sure that each of you has a debit or credit card. If you have never heard of what this carding is, then you are at risk. This definition is for you. Carding is a sphere of computer crimes using credit cards. That is, this is when, with your money, without your knowledge, somewhere in Bangladesh, they buy a brand new iPhone. But you will probably ask, how is this possible?

Where did they get your card details? This is where all the carding begins. The question of how to get card details is probably the most important and at the same time the most difficult for fraudsters. There are a great many ways and often you yourself make their life easier. For example, due to your carelessness, you can insert your card into an ATM that has a so-called skimmer installed. This is a reading device that records your card details.

And in order to find out your PIN code, an overhead keyboard or a small built-in camera can be used, which will show which numbers you press. In order not to become a victim of this method, before inserting your card into the ATM and entering the code, carefully examine it. Often, these skimmers are immediately visible, because they were probably installed in a hurry and could have left streaks or glue drips. I think you will also easily see the keyboard and camera.

Most often, these skimmers are installed on street ATMs where there is no security. The least likely place to encounter a skimmer is in a bank branch, because there is constant traffic, security, and cameras. Therefore, my advice to you is, if you need to withdraw or deposit money to a card, do not be lazy and go to a bank branch or at least to a shopping center and be sure to inspect the ATM. The next way to extract data is with the help of service personnel.

These are waiters, bartenders, cashiers and anyone who can take your card in their hands. Often, they themselves do not understand that this is illegal and how much damage they cause. They were told that they just need to swipe their cards through the already familiar skimmer and get their reward. They do this without any difficulty and your card data fills up a huge database of carders. It is easy to avoid this.

It is enough not to give your card into the wrong hands without supervision. They can also just take a photo of your card. And this data will already be enough to pay for purchases on the Internet without your knowledge. SMS notifications were invented for such cases. They notify you of any actions with the card, so never save on this. But these were all just ineffective and slow methods that are used only by small players.

They cause damage of only 2-3% of all carding, but you still need to know about them, because in the provinces they are quite common. The greatest damage is caused by hackers. Although this concept is widely used and popular, we will call them exactly that. They hack the security systems of online stores and steal not just one card, but an entire database of customers who have ever purchased something from them. First name, last name, address, card number, expiration date and CVV code are the data that hackers will receive. But why hack a store if you can hack a bank right away? It sounds complicated and on the verge of utopia, but I assure you that it is possible, and you don’t have to look far for examples. 2019. A database of 60 million customers was leaked from Sberbank. And the trouble for the victims is that in addition to their first name, last name and card details, their place of work, card balance, SNILS, personal income tax and a lot of other personal information is lost.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to protect yourself from such leaks. All we can do is minimize losses. For this, I do not recommend keeping large sums of money in bank accounts. Keep them in a safe deposit box. As for online shopping, get a separate Internet card. Set a limit on it and never keep money there.

Enter them there only when you need to pay for something. Of course, both banks and any stores have their own anti-fraud protection systems, but there is a constant arms race between them and hackers and when hackers are ahead, my advice can save you a lot of money. We call hackers hackers because they most often sell the data they obtain, but carders buy it and after the data is in their hands, they need to use it somehow. Here, another branching begins. There are two options: having money or buying something with it for the purpose of subsequent resale. In both cases, the scheme involves so-called drops. These are people who sometimes do not even know that they are participating in criminal activity. Their job is to accept a parcel in their name and address, and then send it again, but directly to the carder.

For such actions, drops receive quite large rewards, which can sometimes reach 50% of the cost of the goods. Cashing out money is the same. They withdraw cash from the cards and give half to the carder. They keep the other half for themselves. To prevent the drop from cheating and taking the entire amount, they assign a so-called bouncer to him, who controls the entire process.

There is also an option when the drop must first transfer half of the amount to the carder and he will pour the money onto his card. But I made a separate video about the pouring, and since the quality there is simply disgusting, I will briefly voice the conclusions. In most cases, this is just a scam. And after the carder receives the money, the drop is successfully sent to blocking. I think there is no need to say that drops are consumables and they are constantly planted, because it is obvious.

In addition to purchases, various equipment and things, the service sector is especially popular. These are vouchers to the sea for 20% of the cost, booking expensive hotels and cars. A person who himself used these services agreed to tell how it all happens in detail. You can also watch the continuation of this story on his channel, in which I also took part. Please love and favor - Sam.

Hello everyone! My name is Sam and this is one of those stories that I am not proud of. Well, damn, such stories need to be and they need to be talked about, because this is my experience and I do not want it to remain in the shadows, I want it to help those who it can help. And it was also fucking fun and rock and roll. Let's go! I want to warn you right away that everything I will talk about in this video is bad. This cannot be repeated. I was able to survive this, but I have experienced a lot of crap.

This will probably kill you. Or seriously injure you. So pour yourself a cup of tea, listen to a story, and stay home. In 2017, I lived and worked in Dubai. I was filming commercial projects for businesses, making ads and music videos there. I was feeling great, I had a lot of money. But Dubai, if you can guess, has a pretty expensive lifestyle. And I wanted to feel part of this expensive lifestyle. And then, by chance, through friends, I learned what carders are.

I learned how to live through carders, how to rent expensive apartments, stay in luxury hotels, drive a Lamborghini, fly helicopters, travel super cheaply around the world and use a huge number of services practically for free. I was told about Telegram channels where you can, for 20, 30, 50 percent of the real cost of the service... ...Get this service.

At that time, and it was 2017, the topic of carding was gaining momentum. In Moscow, everyone drove Maybachs, used these expensive taxis for pennies. As for me, being in Dubai, it was interesting to rent expensive apartments, fly around the world and ride a Lamborghini. The scheme is quite simple. The carder steals money from some dude in America. More precisely, he steals his credit card details, and from that time on he can use it absolutely as he wants.

Then, in order to cash out and launder the money, he creates a Telegram channel, where he offers the above-mentioned services, such as booking housing, planes, renting cars, taxis, anything that can be paid for with a credit card. He offers these services to the end user for 20-30-40% of their real cost. Which, of course, becomes attractive. The client, I, having gone to this Telegram channel, contacts the Carder, says what he needs, transfers these 20-30% to his wallet, usually in Bitcoin, and receives his service.

That is, if the usual cost of renting a Lamborghini Aventador in Dubai is $ 1,000, you can get it through the Carder for $ 200-300 per day. And if you have been working with this carder for a long time, have become friends, and you offer him some other promo, damn, the dude has unlimited money, he steals credit cards, he can do whatever you want for free.

Focus. In the fall of 2017, I used the services of a carder for several months. I flew, I rented cars, I rented entertainment, and I also lived in hotels. I constantly lived in hotels with the help of carders. The peculiarity of living in hotels with the help of carders is that you constantly need to be on guard, you constantly need to be on your suitcases. You cannot stay for more than 4-5 days, because during this time, as a rule, the owner of the credit card will see that his data has been stolen, issue a refund and you will simply be evicted from the hotel, or even worse, they will start an investigation, or even worse, they will withdraw money from your credit card.

In one of the hotels in Dubai, which, mind you, cost about ten thousand dollars a week. Yeah, I lived there like a fucking king, it cost me two thousand and something. I knew that I shouldn’t give away my card details, I didn’t. I paid all the fees and contributions in cash. I checked in, hung out, used the room service as I wanted, because, come on, I didn’t pay for it, some American bank did.

I had fun, brought friends there, and at some point, I think it was the fourth day of my stay, my room wouldn’t open, my key wouldn’t work, I went to the reception to figure out what the problem was. Of course, I knew what the problem was. But like in any other life situation, when you have to play by your own rules, you just need to be mega confident. I went down to the reception, asked what the problem was. Why won't the door open in my $10,000 room?

What the fuck? To which the entire staff got scared and timidly told me that... That I had missed the payment. Ten thousand dollars for my wonderful room Disappeared somewhere Where the fuck did they disappear to? I returned them back to the fucking bank and then they offered to pay me ten thousand dollars right then and there in cash or by card At this point, to be honest, I got scared But I didn't show it because I understood that there was no way back.

My clothes were locked in my room with a key that, fucking hell, didn't work. And all I wanted to do at that moment was take my things and run as far away from this hotel as possible so that they would never find me again. I turned to the hotel staff and politely asked them to give me 2 hours to sort out this situation with my travel agency. Yes, I just called the carder my travel agency. Of course, they gave me 2 hours. I don't know if I had lived there before using carding or not, but the guys believed me and opened the room for me.

I took my things and, looking super confident, went down and left the hotel right in front of them. I don't know, I think they were just shocked by such impudence and didn't even understand anything, so they didn't try to stop me. I left the hotel with two suitcases, sat down in the nearest restaurant, wrote to Carder what to do now. And he, apologizing for the inconvenience, simply gave me another hotel for a couple more days, where I safely threw my stuff and had already forgotten about the situation that happened in the first hotel. A few days later, I'm riding in a taxi and see how notifications from my bank account start coming to me.

Payment of 9 thousand dollars, cancellation of the transaction, insufficient funds. Payment of 9 thousand dollars, cancellation of the transaction, insufficient funds. And in 10 seconds, just 10 such notifications come. I am in shock, I understand that they are trying to take 9 thousand dollars from me. We immediately understand that it is the hotel trying to take it, because they somehow found out my credit information a few days after I ran away from them. I immediately ask the taxi driver to stop at the nearest bank to cash these 9 thousand dollars.

More precisely, not 9, but how much, I had 7 thousand and change there. I wanted to cash this money so that I would just have cash in hand, and I would feel calm, so that they could not take anything from me. We are driving to the bank, time is ticking in seconds, everything is just happening in slow motion. A million of these messages. Cancel 9000, cancel 9000, cancel 9000. And then comes the big moment. They figured out how to split the payments. Boom. Payment of $4.5 thousand. Payment confirmed. NO!

Payment of $4.5 thousand. Cancel transaction. Insufficient funds. Boom. Payment of $2 thousand. Payment confirmed. And they start withdrawing from me in parts! Four and a half, two thousand, five hundred dollars, two hundred fifty, one hundred twenty, sixty, thirty, twenty, fifteen, ten. They withdrew absolutely everything from me by the time I got to the bank. When I inserted the card into the ATM, I saw this picture.

Yes, I had a dollar, eighty-nine cents left on the card. And apart from the 100 dirhams that I gave to the taxi driver, that was absolutely all the money I had. Holy shit. Is the carder to blame? No. Is the bank to blame? No. Is the hotel to blame? No, they got their money back. I'm the fool in this situation. After all, when I was staying at the hotel, one evening I went down to the pool, bought some water and paid for it via Apple Pay. Without even thinking about it.

That's how the hotel got my credit card details, and after a few days of searching they found out that it was me who bought that water, and it was me who later deceived them with the payment, and that's why they took almost the entire amount from me, from my credit card, that I should have paid in real life for that hotel. 9 thousand dollars, yes, 10. It doesn't matter, they took all the money from me, 7 thousand bucks or something.

Anyway, that's how I got burned by carding, that's how fate zeroed me out, and I decided that I would never use the services of not entirely honest guys again, let's say. Sam was with you.


If you suddenly get inspired by the examples of carders and want to do the same, then study the list of articles of the criminal code under which you will be tried. Seriously, if you think you can avoid getting caught, you are a fool and will get caught faster than anyone else. If you understand the risks and still want to try, I assure you that this game is not worth the candle. You will be caught, they will take everything and send you to jail.

There are people who are much smarter and more experienced than you. Again, you don't have to go far for examples. My brother Sergey Pavlovich from the "People Pro" channel caused damage worth 40 million dollars and got caught. Believe me, if he was able to cause such damage, he knew exactly what he was doing and still got caught, and served 10 years. If you decide that you will not cause such a lot of damage and will get by with just a few thousand dollars, then I assure you that you will get caught even faster. Carding is a crime in any case and is punished very severely. I encourage you to write comments and remind you that I read them all and try to answer as much as possible. If you were somehow connected with carding, perhaps you had some friends who were involved in it, or you think that the punishment for this crime is too severe, then be sure to write about it in the comments.

Everyone will be very interested to read this.
