credit card

[CHEVY_454_POWER]

Alright, a couple of days ago i came into possesion of somones credit or debit card "( how do you tell them apart?). I am asking any one here if they know how i can go about buying shit with it online without it being traced back to my computer? I am thinking i should steal a laptop and go on somone elses wireless system and buy shit, or use a public computer (library) to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2nd question is where the hell do i get it shipped to? I am really stumped on this one.

Is there any way to use it a store, preferably one without cameras pointed at the register.

Any info would help.

Thanks in advance.

Debit cards usually say "Debit Card" or "Check Card" on the front. Credit Cards typically have no label.

How did you come into possession of it? Is there a good chance the person reported it as stolen and closed the account?

Get it shipped to some abandoned house (like one for sale that doesn't look abandoned) and make sure and get it before anybody else.

You can probably save your self the trouble of figuring out how to do this by facing the fact that it has already been reported lost or stolen, rendering it useless. UNLESS there is a very good reason you would think the person that no longer has his or her card has not reported it.

Anyway, you can't buy anything online. You don't have the person's billing address. And if you did, MOST online stores require the item to be shipped to the billing address on file.

If you really are sure that the card has not been reported stolen, ask a friend who works as a cashier in a retail store to let you make a purchase with it. If you don't have any friends in retail, then you need a fake ID. If you can get a good fake ID, you can shop anywhere. Leaving your face behind on camera isn't much to worry about. Just don't get your license plates on camera.

But like I said... this is a moot point if you are not 100% sure the card has not been reported lost or stolen.

UPS, USPS, and FedEx all have policies which strictly prohibit delivering to abandoned houses for this very reason.

Just for my information, how do they know if it's abandoned? Do they have some sort of register of abandoned houses? If it looks for sale and inhabited, though it isn't, do they know?
Also, what are the dangers with having it shipped to a friend's house? Is that a viable option, even if you trust the kid?

Not sure, I'm sure appearance is a large part of it though.

It's viable if your friend feels like being charged as an accessory to a crime.

Seriously, your best option is to order to a neighbor's house who you know ROUTINELY comes home PAST typical Fedex, UPS delivery times for your neighborhood. Once it's delivered, you can run over and take your package.

In my area, when a home is forclosed the USPS leaves a card in the mailbox indicating that no mail will be delivered until the new owner of the house fills out the card and sends it back to the USPS with new owners information. I don't know if that registry is shared with Fed Ex/UPS.

Also, if you don't mind my asking, I've noticed all the carding guides point out how dangerous and risky it is. Where does all this risk come in? If you order from a payphone, even if you fuck up, how are they going to find you? Besides the pickup (which doesn't seem that risky), where's the danger?

Well, adding additional precautions definitely decreases the risks involved.

Anonymity is the key here and as long as it is maintained, you can be very productive and successful in this aspect of fraud.

The real risk lies in the punishments for these crimes.

One risk is having feds delivering your package instead of Fed Ex as you wait at the abandoned house. Most packages require signatures, so you must be there waiting to sign for the package.

slightly convoluted but it could work. go to an online gambling site, and create two accounts, you and the card holder, and intentionally lose all the money to yourself. it might look suspecious though, but done properly (using public WiFi), and do play a few rounds at other tables, it is virtually untraceable.

You brought back an eight month old thread for that?

That would look VERY suspicious. Trying to give himself the money over a online poker site is no better than just charging it.

Beyond that, he still needs the billing address of the cardholder.
