When carders (or people involved in illegal activity involving the use of other people's data) are asked about what they do or where they work, their answers depend on the context and level of caution. In most cases, they try to avoid directly talking about their activities, as this could lead to exposure. However, there are some common approaches they use for educational purposes:
However, it is important to remember that any attempt to hide illegal activity may be considered fraud. If you are interested in this topic for educational purposes, it is better to focus on legitimate applications of technology and skills, for example, in cybersecurity, data analysis or software development.

1. "I work in IT"
- Why they say this:
This is one of the most popular answers because many aspects of carding are related to technology: programming, setting up tools, using VPN, anti-detection browsers, etc.- Example: "I develop websites/apps" or "I am a cybersecurity specialist."
- Objective:
The answer sounds plausible and explains the technical skills associated with their work.
2. "I am a freelancer"
- Why they say this:
Freelancing is a convenient excuse, as it offers flexible work hours and the ability to do whatever you want without being tied to a specific company.- Example: "I do remote work, mostly marketing/design/programming."
- Objective:
To explain why a person works from home, frequently changes schedules, or does not have a permanent job.
3. "I am an entrepreneur"
- Why they say this:
Entrepreneurs often experiment with different business ideas, which allows carders to hide their real activities behind a supposedly legitimate business.- Example: "I have my own online store" or "I trade cryptocurrency".
- Objective:
Sounds convincing, especially if the person actually uses cryptocurrencies to withdraw funds.
4. "I invest"
- Why they say this:
Investments are another "gray area" where sudden money or interest in financial transactions can be easily explained.- Example: "I invest in startups/cryptocurrencies/stock market."
- Objective:
To explain the presence of large sums of money or activity in the financial sector.
5. "I work remotely"
- Why they say this:
Remote work has become very popular, and few people ask questions about what exactly a person does.- Example: "I work with clients from other countries" or "I provide project support."
- Objective:
To hide the real nature of one's actions behind a general formulation.
6. "I don't do anything special"
- Why they say this:
Some carders prefer to avoid details so as not to arouse suspicion.- Example: "Oh, just getting by as best I can" or "Nothing interesting, just working."
- Objective:
To minimize attention to yourself and avoid further questioning.
7. "I am studying/retired"
- Why they say this:
These answers are suitable for those who want to create the appearance of low activity or lack of official work.- Example: "I'm a student, I work part-time on the Internet" or "I'm retired, but I work part-time a little."
- Objective:
To explain free time and access to a computer.
8. "I work in finance"
- Why do they say this:
This answer helps explain the knowledge of banking systems, payment gateways and other financial instruments.- Example: "I work in a bank" or "I do consulting for companies."
- Objective:
To create the appearance of professional activity related to money.
9. "I am engaged in trade"
- Why they say it:
Trading is a broad field of interpretation that can include both legal and illegal activities.- Example: "I sell products online" or "I sell on eBay/Amazon".
- Objective:
To explain the movement of money through different platforms.
10. "It's hard to explain"
- Why they say it:
If a person doesn't want to go into details, they may use this phrase to close the topic.- Example: "Oh come on, that's a long explanation" or "I'm just working on my projects."
- Objective:
To avoid unnecessary questions and attention.
11. "I work for myself"
- Why do they say this:
It is a universal answer that allows one to hide the true nature of the activity.- Example: "I am my own boss" or "I work on my own ideas."
- Objective
To emphasize independence and avoid the need to reveal details.
12. "I travel and work"
- Why they say it:
Travel is often associated with digital nomadism, which explains the frequent moves and use of different IP addresses.- Example: "I travel and earn money remotely" or "I work online while traveling the world."
- Objective:
To explain frequent changes in geolocation.
13. "I don't do anything, the money comes by itself"
- Why they say it:
Some carders use humor or frankness to reduce suspicion.- Example: "I'm just waiting for the money to come in" or "I'm lucky, sometimes I find ways to make money."
- Objective
To make it appear that their income is incidental or insignificant.
14. Using code words
- Why they say this:
In some cases, carders use code words or hints that only other members of the community understand.- Example: "I do data analytics" or "I work with e-commerce."
- Objective:
To convey information only to those who understand the subtext.
Conclusion
Carders usually carefully consider their answers to avoid suspicion. They choose professions or occupations that:- Easy to explain.
- They do not require verification of documents.
- Correspond to their actual activity (e.g. use of technology).
However, it is important to remember that any attempt to hide illegal activity may be considered fraud. If you are interested in this topic for educational purposes, it is better to focus on legitimate applications of technology and skills, for example, in cybersecurity, data analysis or software development.
