Teenage Credit Card Scammers Stealing From the Rich | Crimewave

We chat to a young credit card scammer who has been ‘’deetsing’’ - buying account details online to purchase whatever he wants without the account holder's knowledge or consent.
Teenagers as young as 13 are learning how to commit online fraud at school and say they are targeting the rich. Some are using profits to feed their families as they don’t see any prospect in regular minimum-wage jobs.
Others use the money to buy anything from iPhones to flights, holidays, fancy restaurant dinners, clothes and food deliveries.
VICE chats to a young fraudster who has acquired funds from account details he found online, in order to buy everything he wants. If caught, fraudsters can face hefty fines and prison sentences of up to 5 years.

I was a victim of such a teenager (quite literally was a teenager). I’m a small business but I trade high value items… I didn’t have an experience with this type of fraud before, and shipped the order as usual, which was delivered signed etc… just to get a credit card chargeback from a real owner of a credit card used for this purchase. The bank had reversed the transaction and I was left without goods and without money. My business is so small, I rely on one sale per month at times and it was very hard for me to pay my rent that month. I just want any person who reads that and contemplates on a similar scheme: LEAVE SMALL BUSINESSES OUT OF IT!!! We don’t deserve it at all!!!

Stealing from the poor and working class isn't taken very seriously by the legal system. When police take reports from poor people or the working class that are victims, often no investigation is ever initiated. Stealing from the rich however, that will get you some real time.

This is "carding" going by a new name. This has been around for as long as online purchases have been a thing. When I first became aware of it in the early/mid 90s, you could get lists of cards and card generators from AOL chat rooms and warez sites. Back then, banks and websites hadn't caught up to the security aspect of it yet so there weren't things like the 3 digit code on the back, security questions, or even SSL. If you had the card number and expiration date, that's all you needed. And card companies used simple algorithms to generate numbers. So, people wrote programs to generate their own card numbers and exps and you could just try them until you found a combination that worked. It's not hacking. It's just theft. And these kids are just the next in a long line of thieves stretching back to the 80s or even 70s.

[@mikea5745]

This is using bank cards instead of credit cards. In the US nearly all bank cards still go through a credit card company (usually as debit cards), so a lot of Americans don't think of them as different. The biggest difference with using bank cards is the lower level of fraud protection. Banks can just leave the customer to pay the bill, so they don't care as much as a credit card company

[@xliquidflames]

Not true. In the case of credit cards, someone can max out your card and leave you with an unpayable bill, or a very large bill that you simply cannot reasonably afford. Banks take a long time in the majority of cases to actually refund you, if they do at all! A poor/working class person can EASILY be fucked by this.

Because they come from an even worse country, and there's centuries of false advertising around the (fake) American dream. The same applies to Africans in relation to England.

The businesses are on the hook when these chargebacks occur. It's not the 'bankers'. The major credit card companies don't absorb anything, businesses are not refunded for these fraudulent purchases.

i agree. the price you pay living with the possibility of theft like this is always much more than the cost of the actual theft. the discomfort/paranoia/worry for yourself and your close ones, sadness and anger for those you hear it happening to, to even at the most basic level not having trust for your fellow man, just that alone is a huuuuuge price to pay its probably a death sentence for any community.
