At present, it is not a secret at all that money is periodically stolen from cards. This year, for example, the police managed to detain a small group of students who were stealing money from clients' cards. In total, they stole about seven hundred thousand dollars. How did they manage to do this? The fact is that they first installed a small camera at the top of the ATM itself, which imperceptibly filmed how the owner of this card dials the PIN code at the ATM. This was enough to then safely withdraw funds from the stolen cards.
Of course, not everything is so simple. There are many ways to cash in on this type of carding as easy as shelling pears. To begin with, a fake is bought, it is the Russian passport that is needed. The fact is that some fakes will not be distinguished by any bank employee. A real card is made for this passport.
Then you need to go with her, for example, to another country, this may be, for example, Austria. Driver's license is purchased in advance. They can also be fake. Only this document will be enough for cashiers. Further, you can simply easily purchase various goods. This type of fraud can be dealt with for several weeks.
Some scammers manage to pay for their purchases in stores using fake cards. Also, specially fake online stores can be created. In our country, unlike foreign countries, the volume of losses from carding is not so great.
Are criminals caught or not?
In the West, it is much easier to write off money than to investigate. But in our country, they are investigating in any cases, and in this case the amount that was stolen is not even important. It is also worth noting that in Russia, in fact, it is relatively rare to use payment for goods on the Internet using cards. And the most important factor is that the cards of our banks are of little interest to fraudsters. Working with foreign cards is not only easier, but also more efficient. An impressive amount of money can be stolen at a time.
There are a lot of stories about this kind of fraud. For example, in some places it is believed that a huge part of the card numbers get to carders through porn sites. But the scammers themselves said that this information is a delusion. It is also worth noting that the profit from the visited porn site is relatively small, there is simply no sense in stealing. Also, the conversation is about sites that, in other words, are not very popular. In this case, the return will be negligible.
Some people even said that shop tellers often colluded with carders. And it really happens. For example, last year the head of the security service was caught in this activity. At the same time, a 30-year-old regular waiter from Brooklyn was able to withdraw several million dollars from various accounts. But this fact is considered, on the contrary, an exception to the rule. Anyone who tries to steal a card or money from it is just a kamikaze. Such people are often found instantly.
How to protect yourself?
Some independent experts believe that the ability of Russian bank employees to resist the phenomenon of carding is extremely small. Bank employees disdain to contact banking forums, where they could significantly raise their own level of professionalism and security. After all, the enemy should be known personally.
Who are crackers?
If we talk about hacking card databases, this is the basis for carding. It is these people, that is, burglars, who are able to provide this semi-criminal business with "raw materials". But the cases when hacks were actually detected, you can simply count on the fingers of one hand. If we continue to talk about hacks, then the most famous and popular one happened in 1998. At the time, several hackers, one of whom was named Maxus, stole important credit card information. And the FBI said that the real name of this scammer is Maxim Ivankov. It is worth noting that a large proportion of the hackers who supply the world level of carding are simply our Russian citizens. And the Americans themselves said that Russian goods are the best in quality, range and value.
Casino as a way to make money
Carders also make money from casinos. They often just play with a number, and not their own card. If the carder loses, then the money will be debited from other people's accounts, and if he wins, it will already be transferred to your accounts. Some people manage to make good money in the so-called poker rooms, where the game is not played directly against the casino, but simply between real people. Some scammers prefer to place their bets at various bookmakers. Today there are a great many of them on the Internet. They prefer to bet significant amounts. This money is not so pity - it is still someone else's.
But the job is pretty dirty. The fact is that not only insurance companies and banks, but also real people can suffer from the actions of fraudsters.
