- Credit fraud involves getting a credit card number (a CC #), and
- then ordering things by phone. All you need is the card number
- and the experation date. And a few other nasties...
-
- Well, forget this basic stuff! Let's get into the good parts....
-
- Getting Your Card
- ===================
-
- Always been meticulous about your appearence? Don't like to be
- dirty? Then the primary method of getting credit cards is not
- going to appeal to you.
-
- When a customer buys something at a store or restaurant (with a
- credit card, of course), several carbons are made. The store
- puts these into their files, and throws them away a week or so
- later.
-
- What's that? You say, "Why don't I go to the trash, and get
- these carbons?", do you? Well, you're correct; this is exactly
- what you do. Here are some tips:
-
- 1) Go on the First of the month. (In a lot of stores, this is
- the 'clear the files day'.
-
- 2) Go to the mall. That way, if one trash can is empty, you
- have a hundred or so more.
-
- 3) Stay away from food stores. Sticking you're hand into last
- week's fried chicken is a price too high for a lousy credit
- card.
-
- 4) For convienence, look for florists, video stores and the like.
- Video stores especially, since >every< transaction they make
- involves a credit card.
-
- Ok, that is just one of the ways which you can get you're card
- here are the other primary methods:
-
- CBI/TRW
- =======
-
- CBI and TRW are Credit services which have Credit Cards,
- Addresses, names, and driver's licenses for most of the
- population of the United States. You can also use this system to
- find out the credit card mend calling through a PBX, then XXXXX (insert you're
- favorite phone service here).
-
- Leeching
- ========
-
- You could also get them off the credit fraud board on you're
- local elite BBS. Not a good idea, since most cards up there have
- about 1,000 dollars worth of porno tapes on them.
-
- Better yet, you can ask a friend. This will probaly work, but
- sometimes people give a card that they have used, or used but
- messed up with. Oh, the death of friendship!
-
- Ok, you've got your card? Good.
-
- Ordering
- ========
-
- You've got to order your merchandise. To do this, call the
- orderline for the company, and talk to these people. If you're
- known as "The Human Carrier" by you're friends, or modems connect
- when you say "Hello", then forget it. These days they are
- getting mighty suspicous.
-
- They will ask you what card you want to use. Master Cards have a
- 5 as the first digit of the first cluster, Visas have a 4.
-
- If ice--very
- softly. Just say, "I'm sorry... I have this awful sore
- throat..."
-
- The first rule is be polite. Don't sound nervous. If the lady
- asks you for the driver's license, and you don't have it, make
- one up, then before you hang up, say "I'm sorry, I'm going to
- have to cancel this order...my husband told me that he had
- already gotten the XXXXX (the item you were trying to order)"
- Try to order from a pay phone, and when they ask for a phone
- number, give them the pay phone's number. Or scan for a number
- that will ring, and ring... A board that is down is a good bet.
-
- Now, you may ask, what address do I give the salesman?
-
- The Address
- ===========
-
- The pick up is one of the most crucial part of the entire part.
- Here is what I think the ultimate address should be:
-
- 1) Abandoned.
-
- 2) Isolated (No little old ladies calling the police or spraying
- you with hoses).
-
- 3) About a mile or so away from your house.
-
- Number one could also have a friend of yours who will sign for
- the package, then when the feds come deny it ever arrived. This
- is unlikely.
-
- Number two is obvious. I have been yelled at by numerous old
- people, and people that don't speak English. Not fun.
-
- The mile away from you're house is obvious. Don't want people
- that know you to be witnesses.
-
- Also, you can order to an occupied house. Send them a note by
- mail, telling them about a "computer glitch that sent some of
- our mechandise to you're address, and we will send a sales
- representative (or his son) to come pick it up." Spice this up,
- by apologizing for any hassles, and giving a fake name for the
- "sales represenative". Then, when you go, just give them a
- little note authorizing you to be there with an impressive
- signature.
-
- When you pick up the package, be calm. Talk to the people no
- longer than necessary, but don't run away or anything. Wear a
- hat, but don't wear a ski mask and sunglasses. Look normal, yet
- try and conceal as much of you're looks as possible.
-
- If you do this right, you will look like a normal person, and
- the people will forget about you in the month or so it takes the
- credit agency to do anything about the fraud.
-
- Advanced Fraud
- ==============
-
- To order more advanced, (ie: from Northwestern, or things that
- cost alot of money), you will need the following (usually):
-
- The Driver's License Number
- The Bank or Interbank Number (For MasterCard)
- The Billing Addresss
-
- Sometimes this will be written on the carbon. But the best way
- is just to use TRW...if you have a password for it.
-
- Miscellanous
- ============
-
- Reading an issue of U.S News and World Report (June 3, 1985)
- yesterday, I found an article on Phreaking, Fraud, and BBS's.
- Very interesting.
-
- Said something about mailboxing, which is going through a company
- mailbox looking for let's say bills and the like which would
- have a credit number on it. Sounds interesting. Go on a
- Saturday, and look in the mailboxes. The last few days of a
- month would be a good idea, since maybe you could get lucky and
- snipe their Visa statement. That just goes to show that reading >some<
- value.
-
- Look for cards like this one:
-
- 5024 0000 6184 3847
-
- The second cluster means it's a "preferred" card, and you can
- order more stuff with it. Some cards only have 13 digits (i.e:
- 5024 000 618 787).
-
- If you think you have ordered the limit of you're card, verify
- it. You do this by calling a dial up (usually 800), giving them
- a merchant number, the card number, the name on the card, the
- expiration date, and the amount to be spent. They will tell you
- it the card has enough money for the purchase. Get a dial up and
- merchant number by going to the Department Store. They are
- usually written on the phones.
-
- For MasterCard, the Interbank number isRyight below the na}~sn
- the carbon. Nisa cards contain a bank number in one of the
- clusters.
-
- Don't order from Northwestern. There prices are not worth all of
- the questions you have to answer.
-
- Order from Conroy-LaPointe at 800/547-1289, they are quite
- easy.
-
- Conclusion
- ==========
-
- There are no old carders. You quit, or you get caught. Plan
- what you want to get, and don't try and rush your frauds.
-
- The first rule of fraud is, "Greed Kills." I think being
- arrested by the feds and having to face my parents and lose my
- computer about the same as death. But what is life without a
- little risk?
-
- Try to sell most of the things you card. If there is no stolen
- (carded) stuff in you're house, they might go easier on you.
