Well, with this file you will learn how to get as much as you want without even having to pay a dime. The technique you are about to be introduced to is known as Carding. It is using someone else's credit card. Here is how it works, you get someone's credit card number and then use it to order through a mail-order firm. Carding can be broken up into basically three sections: [1] Obtaining the credit card number. [2] Placing the order over the phone. [3] Receiving and picking up the package you ordered. Step [1]: Getting the number ============================= There are many different ways to obtain a credit card number. One of the most popular ways is what is known as trashing. This is simply going through the trash of large store looking for the carbon copies that store make after ringing up a purchase on a card. Another way is by calling a person while you pose as a representitive of their bank. Or you can also copy it down if you see someone carelessly flip out their card where you can see it. Trashing may be accomplished one of two ways. The first method is to go into a store and start looking through whatever they carry. Start moving your way slowly to the cashier's stand. When you get there, throw something in (a bag or a piece of paper). Next, exclaim that you didn't mean to throw away that particular object. Reach in the basket and get your object. Search for some carbon copies. If you find some, put them in your pockets. If you threw a bag the the garbage, just put them in there, it is much easier since carbons have a tendency to smudge, so be careful how you handle them. The second method of trashing is by making a dumpster run at night. Go, at night, to the store after a busy day with lots of customers. Try to hit the stores with the rich customers. In other words, don't go trashing at K-Mart. Now, take some large garbage bags with you or something that you can carry the carbons in without smudging them. Jump into a dumpster and start searching for some large garbage bags or for just some loose carbons. Cut open the bags with your razor and ransack them for carbons. If you see security coming, jump out and run like Hell. Or, if security catches you, try to get rid of the carbons without them seeing you, and tell them that you were looking for some binders for school. Once, when The Uncorruptable and I were searching for some new cards, we decided to check out the dumpsters at the local mall. When we were checking out the dumpsters for Saks Fifth Avenue, we noticed that they could only be reached by going through the store for they were not open to the sky. The entrance to them was surrounded by a cage. All out of luck? Not yet, never give up hope. We managed to reach under the fence and grab many carbons that had been spilled with other garbage as the bags tore. Out of close to 50 carbons, only one was an American Express. Not bad, because American Express cards have at least a $5000 limit on them and they don't give them to poor people. Another way of obtaining the number without leaving home is by posing as a person from someone's bank. Look through the phone book for some people that live in the rich part of town. Call them up and proceed as follows: YOU: Hello, my name is Brad Moreland, I represent Citibank Customer Service and Management. I am calling to notify you that your credit card limit has been raised to $5,000. SUCKER: But my limit has always been $10,000. YOU: Just one moment. [Make it sound like you are typing something in on a computer.] We must have a computer error. Could you read off the embossed number on your card, please? SUCKER: Ok, one second and I'll get it. Boy, will they ever. You can elaborate on this by asking if you can put them on hold while you call Computer Management Division. In other words, pour on the bullshit. The final way of obtaining a card number is simply to write one down when you see one. This is good in stores or restaurants when you are waiting in line. Always carry a paper and small pencil with you. Develop a type of shorthand you can understand. You will always find a situation where you want something to write on whether it be credit cards or some 7-digits. What do you do when you have some carbon paper. Well, if you hold it up to the light, you can see everything you need: [1] Name, [2] Card Number, [3] Expiration date. But, you now need to get out your phone book and look up this person in the phone book. Get their address and zip code. You will need this because when you are ordering, the company will ask you for the billing address and you NEED to give it to them. This is because when they go to check the card and the billing address doesn't match, they won't ship your stuff to you. If the billing address DOES match the one you gave them, they won't check it any further except to make sure the card itself isn't stolen (which it isn't because you only took the number, not the card). You may need to check out the limit on the card to make sure that you don't go over the limit. This can be accomplished by calling up a credit card check, like they do in the stores. You probably wonder, "Well, where do I get the number for this thing?" This is where you need your paper and pencil. Go into a store and when you are checking out, look around for a number and an authorization [merchant] code. They are usually around the phone. When you call they will ask for the mechant number, the card number, the expiration date, and also the amount of purchase. Look in the magazine and add up the price of all the stuff you want to order. I suggest that you don't order any amount of over $1,000 on a VISA or a MasterCard. If you have an American Express, they have at least a $5000 limit. The only bad thing about American Express is that they aren't accepted widely like MasterCard and VISA, but times are changing. One good number to check VISA's and MasterCards on is (713) 840- 8010. Step [2]: Placing the Order ============================ Now find the 800 number in the magazine and get ready to place the order. Go to a phone booth and call up the place. Usually they will have an 800 number to order so you don't need any money. Act calm. Don't sound like a little kid. And most of all, don't act dumb, get carried away, and order their whole inventory. Remember that they won't take you seriously if you order too much merchandise. The whole idea is not to order it to your house. Find an empty house and trash the FOR SALE sign. Now give them the address of the house. Try to have the shipment sent UPS. UPS is good for their style and I'll explain it below. Have it either shipped Blue Label (2-day) if the order is expensive, or Red Label (1-day overnight) if it isn't too expensive. I've heard of them being ordered to P.O. Boxes before since you just give the people at the post office a false name, usually they don't ask for a forwarding address. Also, if you can con some loser into doing this, make sure he doesn't know your name or number or where you live. Tell him that you will be sending some stuff over to his house. Usually it would be best if you told him you would get him something cheap under $50. When he receives the package tell him to call you. Send someone over to pick up the package from him, let him keep the cheap crap you got for him and get away from there and never talk to him again. This way, he will take the heat from the Feds and you don't have to worry. Step [3]: Receiving and Pick-Up ================================ Now for the pick-up. Give the place an address for an empty house like one that's for sale or an abandoned house. Just make sure that the house you give them does look lived in. If there is a FOR SALE sign, don't forget to trash it around in the back yard or keep it, they can come in handy sometimes. Put a note on the door on the day they said it would arrive saying that you are sorry you couldn't be home and for them to leave it on the front step. Now, sign the note with the card holders name and put on the card that if they need a signature, they can take the note. UPS will always take the note for the signature. It is usually a good idea to watch and see when they drop it off. When they do drop it off, don't start acting like an asshole and run over to the house. Take it calm and easy and then go on home and wait till night. If the UPS man takes the package to a neighbors house, then just go to their house with the note the UPS man left on the door and claim the package as yours and split. Now that it's night, sneak over to your drop at about two AM. Wear dark clothes and pretend you're playing James Bond or something like that. Go to the drop and get your package. Take it back and hide it somewhere near your house real good. This way, when the Feds come knocking on doors, you won't have what they're looking for. Wait for it to cool down and then bring your package inside, take it out, and get rid of the evidence by burning the box and shit. Remember that only a moron that doesn't value his freedom would send it back if it were broken or something. Now you know about Carding. The way to obtain merchandise without paying. Just remember that you have now commited a federal crime with a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $15,000 fine. A few brief notes: ================== If the place asks for a phone number when you are ordering, give them a BBS number that is always busy. You can place the oder from home, just don't call their 800 number from home because I have had them trace me before from an 800 number. If you want to call from home, call through an extender to their customer service number. Make sure that you ask them for a date as when the shit is going to be delivered. That way, you'll know when to check the drop. Carding is wonderful! It is the way to get the stuff that you have only stared at and dreamed of by going over and over in a catalog. It is the poor man's way of being rich. Let's face it, at today's prices, no one can afford much. Carding is like making money for nothing as a song says. One suggestion is to order gold coins from some shop, look in the back of Smithsonian's Magazine. And then you can turn the coins into cash for the current running price. All that you have seen in this G-phile is not bullshit, because I now have $400 in books from Paladin Press, a Sony D-7 compact disc player, a Casio 2-1/2 inch color LCD portable television (they give those things long names), a 1200 baud modem, and $500 in cash.
