[chushpan]

Carding is not a good job. It is an illegal, risky, and immoral activity that has serious consequences for both the participants and society as a whole. However, some people may mistakenly consider carding a "good job" due to its perceived benefits, such as quick money or excitement. Let's look at why such perceptions are wrong and explain why carding is a bad idea.

a) Fast money​

• Carders can earn significant amounts of money in a short period of time.
• Example: Selling stolen card data on the darknet or using it for purchases.

b) No initial costs​

• Some beginners start with minimal investments (for example, purchasing map databases).
• Example: Buying skimmers or checkers for little money.

c) Anonymity​

• Scammers may use anonymous networks (Tor), cryptocurrencies, and fake accounts to hide their activities.
• Example: Difficulty in tracking transactions via Bitcoin or Monero.

d) Imaginary security​

• Some carders believe that they will never get caught, especially if they use sophisticated methods.

2. Why is carding a bad idea?​

• Punishments:
  • Imprisonment: From several years to decades.
  • Fines: Up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Asset Forfeiture: All money and property obtained illegally may be seized.

b) High risks​
