Beware of Carding- Huge scandal and illegal way of procuring goods online!


Carding is a type of fraud in which a thief steals credit card numbers, makes sure they work, and then uses them to buy prepaid gift cards. The fraudster may sell the prepaid cards or use them to purchase other goods which, in turn, can be resold for cash.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way here to promote or advertise carding and related activities but simply to make you aware about the carding scam, how to not fall for it and the consequences and its dirty cheap business.
Its a huge dark scam which might land you in a big legal trouble further both local and overseas.


The catch: Real actual products are never ever delivered. Mind it!

Why discuss about carding here?
An eye-opener.
Now why I decide to bring this topic as it might happen some people here might be selling or have sold carding stuff for cheap rates though not that cheap but relatively yes, may be in the name of gifted items or items not required within a very short span and recent warrnty items wihtout bills/invoices stating irrelevant excuses and reasons..
No, I"m not saying all sellers are like this but some can be.
There is no way of ascertaining if the goods offered for sale are obtained genuinely or via carding way.
And currently if no one is selling such stuff then this will act as a major alert here for upcoming/future sales!

@Mods: You can include and mark this as an important point in market section rules.

How I found about carding: One fine night a friend got auto-joined to such xyz group and he was overwhelmed and shocked about the products offered and pricing, so he though about consulting me before moving further and glad he did as I digged deep in no time and found its something illegal and a serious crime. He got saved from getting duped and from sharing his personal info.
Rest, I researched further more and even joined few such groups just to get an idea whats the fuss and whereabouts.
Refer to the screenshots and communications with carders and groups.

Carding is an illegal process or biz and both the carder and carder are liable for facing legal cyber crime actions if ever traced or found suspicious.

The sole purpose is to befriend, win trust and loot the buyer by fooling him/luring him into purchasing the product without any force but gently trap him into this. No matter if the amount is just 100bucks or 10-20k.

The most common scams are about iPhones as every 2nd idiot around wants to hold an iPhone so naturally when you hear about a warrantied iPhone for 8-15k then many people are ready to risk.

All carding requirements are sourced from dark web and though I can list the most common per-requisites I wont be doing so as I'm not here to tut on carding but to make you aware about the scam that's it!
So don't pm me for such info as google is your bf! I wont entertain such requests.

How it all begins:
You hear it from someone or are automatically randomly added to such groups.
You see a lot of costly luxury products for dirt cheap throwaway prices and new guaranteed deals every hour/day/week.
Mouth watering and shocking, you decide to dive deep and scroll around though the screenshots videos shared by buyers etc.
You pm the admin/carder
You are greeted very politely with zero force from their ends, they will answer your every noob query without frustration.
You feel confident.
You decided to move forward
Congrats on first step of fooling duping yourself!
Payment methods are shared/upi/gpay etc.
You deposit the money
Congrats on second step of duping yourself!
In sometime expect tracking details and screenshots
In few days expect Out of delivery shipment tracking status
Product not delivered to your OR
Product got delivered to you but its not the one you paid for.
Congrats on last steps, you fooled and duped yourself! Enjoy your iPhone!

Carders might ask you for some minimal advance order amount or might first place an order for you to win over you to show he has genuinely ordered it with tracking details etc.
They will even ask you that pay us once your order gets shipped. This is to win over your confidence, trust and showing genuineness.

Also, delivery proofs can be faked easily using few techniques looking just like genuine one. Where you will believe its all true.

But the catch, the tracking/ordering id is all fake or even if he has placed any order its surely not for that iPhone etc. product but a mere cheap xyz product not costing more than 100/500 bucks. Iphone cover for instance.

Once your order is out for delivery, you are naturally delighted and then these guys ask you for the said amount which you obviously pay them shut-eyed or even if you say will pay after delivery they are OK with it as its not at all any loss to them.

The sole purpose:
There is this group or gang of carders to which your deposited advance sum is equally distributed, even if its 100 bucks it goes like 5/10/20 bucks per person. So even if you feel WTF just 20 bucks, well behind the scene many 100s of user have already trusted these gangs and they already deposited Ks of huge sum duping you fooling ya!

Its just a trap, you fall, you lose, they gain, you back out at the last moment, they will hurdle abuses and block ya but you are safe & saved!

Every carder will advertise that he is a pro/real/true/genuine etc. carder which he is not!
You can verify his integrity by testing basic knowledge by going into his head asking him in depth about basic definitions etc. of the terminologies used and he surely will get into abusive lingo and block ya... you just detected a fake carder (99.9% are fakes BTW)

They are openly operating groups in the name of Govt./Customs. They even conduct online courses, tutorials etc. of course not free but in the end they know you gonna get nothing but either get trapped or caught and at least duped!

Remember: Your real home/office/delivery address + transacted banking details is in their hands so imagine the consequences and misuse of info. or during an inquiry the beans are spilled..

I will urge you all to know about carding but never fall into the trap or practice it for yourself or to dupe others etc.

In the groups you might see whatsapp shared screenshots stating item successfully delivered, very much praising words, future deals etc. but all these msgs are actually fake, cooked and posted by their gang members behind fake profiles!

@Mods you review the post per TE guidelines and alter if any changes required per site governance!

I have gone through many such groups on telegram. Even that chats you see as proofs (screenshots) in those groups are actually created using some tool. So the same person is spoofing the chat to create the make believe "proofs".

Before carding, it was that "I am custom officer with XYZ port" thing.

Not really data harvesting. It is more of letting the gullible part away with a relatively small amount first before shipping happens and then blocking the person every where.

My point was how data harvesting schemes are dumb and stupid, in same way these oneplus for 6k schemes are dumb....
 
I have come across this a lot. Just by applying one simple logic, one can get a clear idea

Why can't the person who is ordering, order for himself and sell as second hand? Why is he letting go of profit rather than selling at a minimal amount

Nevertheless, fraudsters are everywhere

My dumbass of a cousin brother encountered one of these guys on olx. Paid 500rs shipping advance. Then rejected the same deal and told me "what if I get a fake product." Lol.
I'm more concerned about the stolen cc. Did they never get traced? Or are the claims all a sham?
 
Guys, don’t fall for these scams. Think twice before sending money/account details to unknown person online as nothing in life comes for free or at like these discounted rates.

For all those who are wondering about stolen CCs etc. these are obtained in bulk for a price from dark sites and these cc belong mostly to wealthy bizmen or people residing in US/UK/Arab etc. regions. So out of 10CR you steal 50k they either dont care for such petty amount & they got some kind of insurance etc.
You can refer to chats posted some folks have answered this thing.

Well if you refer to my chats circled above, where I have asked the guy the exact query you have the answer.

Overseas claim never take place for such petty amounts... imagine you are some Dubai sheikh with 10000cr in your a/c, will you even bother if someone steals 50k or a lac worth amount?
Its like spending more than what was stolen esp. in international circles.
My sole motto of opening this thread is to ensure such products are not sold here.
Just imagine if imei no. gets traced for such orders, the consequences and shame followed...

I didn't get one point. Are these guys actually doing any Carding or are they just pretending and just making money off the advance that people pay.

Probably just somehow faking the screenshots and all and making money off people paying advance. They deal through telegram and such and will block you once you pay money.
 
Not too sure what OP is going on here. Are these items actually being bought using stolen credit cards, or are they duping people into thinking they're using stolen cards to buy said items and then runaway with some cash from the victims.

90% chance it is the latter. The modus operandi is that the scammers create make believe screenshots of conversations between them and people who supposedly received the product and share in the same group to make people believe that people are indeed getting products. Gullible people fall for this and since initial amount asked isn't much, people pay in hopes that they will indeed be able to score a cheap deal.
They pay the scammer and he then keeps the victim engaged for sometime with fake tracking or screenshots and such and then may be blocks him completely.

That's what I also thought. The screenshots seem to be fake. They hid the amazon order ID.
Cant they be tracked using the mobile number if they scam?
 
Oh, carding carding carding... **** both buyers and sellers who are into this.

Internationally (US/UK/Canada etc), you have "refund specialists", whose sole job is to get a refund for your purchased product on your CC (via the site you ordered from), while letting you keep the product. They take a cut out of the refund - another scam as the money is taken BEFORE refund is applied for.
 
This truly shocking cannot believe such practices. It might even happen that those petty occasional sellers on amazon platforms might be selling such stuff so forums is simply nothing.
Market rules should be made strict.
