Credit Card Stealer!

Hey guys, I just wanted to warn some people here about a guy. This guy comes to one of the forums I post at, it isn't a big forum and it's about credit cards. Nothing illegal, just about different types of CC's and companies/loans etc.. It's for personal and educational use. Now a few days ago, this guy posted a bunch of credit card numbers on there. He also posted his YIM and left.

Now I wanted a piece of my mind with him. I really hate how these fools steal people's personal information and hard earned money and use it. I sent him a msg, letting him know he'd be busted sooner or later. Of course the guy laughed and said good luck.

Anyways, I got some information out of him. Basically he has hacked some store.. not sure WHERE, but he has hacked a database of an online store and has MUCH information. I know because he has posted a few CC numbers/names/addresses etc..

He also has made a FAKE us paypal account, where he charges people to give them the CC info. I got his paypal address, so if anyone knows the paypal fraud/abuse area, please let me know, so I cna forward it to them. He uses some us.com free email, to make it looks like he's an american, though he's in Vietnam.

I'm wondering if there is anyway to bust this guy. I believe he lives in Vietnam.. I don't know what laws they have, but this guy deserves to go behide bars. Is there anyway paypal can bust this guy? I'm sure his IP must be recorded when he logs in?

I also emailed the people he post on the forum and let them know this guy has been posting their information around. I haven't gotten a reply from them or anything and I also don't have free states calling, otherwise I'd call them and let them know about it.

I hope people who've dealt this type of stuff or have legal experience can shed some light on this matter.

Thanks.
 
Contact IC3. The thing is, he had to have provided a bank account, or something that traces back to him.

Consider this...

1. To create a PayPal account, and address must be given (this can be faked of course)

2. A bank account or credit card must be used (if bank account, then PayPal submits 2 random amounts into this account, and the use must verify how much was deposited. This means he has access to the account.)

3. He has to have a way of getting the funds out of PayPal. This means he has a bank account on file to transfer the funds to, or has a PayPal debit card. If it's a bank account, again, he can be tracked. If he has a PayPal debit card, then the debit card must have been sent somewhere that he has access to.

Regards of how smug these people are, and brag about never being able to get caught, they have to remember, you simply can't hide...especially when it comes to money theft, because you have to be able to access it somehow, thus you have ultimately slipped up somewhere by having to provide real information to someone in order to be able to access it.

I would suggest contacting the IC3 first, and leaving Paypal out of it at the moment, just in case PayPal decides to terminate the account. IC3 will need the info from the account to begin their investigation, and if PayPal terminates the account, this could not only wipe out any information that IC3 could obtain, but also merely cause the guy to create a new account. If that happens he's basically starting fresh and you won't know the new information in order to report it.

Additionally, I would not delete the post from your forum, but instead hide it from public view, just in case the IC3 needs to see it.
 
Thanks for the input. It's actually not my forum, I'm just a member there and the admin hardly ever comes on. So I don't think anyone will take it down.

He also has egold I believe and I have other information, such as his YIM/email etc.. Not sure if they can use such info to track him either, but I'm sure if they checked his email, he probably has something in there to bust him easily.

BTW how would I contact the IC3?

Thanks for the help so far. :)
 
Since you are in Canada ... you might consider advising the RCMP Internet Fraud division (or whatever its called). Your local RCMP division should be able to direct you to correct URL.

As I understand it ... the RCMP & FBI etc all work together to track down these people & have them charged ... no matter where they live. They "supposedly" also have the ability to search the net to find out if they same guy has posted similar info on other sites etc.

Good luck
 
No one really cares about Credit Card Theft.
Nothing is being done to stop it.

And it really is quite easy to stop 90% of the theft.

All they need do is setup a hotline where suspected cards can be reported.
This can be setup with the merchants so as to avoid prank reporting.

But the current system has it so you have to report the card to the Bank of origin.

Now who will go through all this trouble after getting a fraudulent order over the internet.

I personally gave up on the system - it's broken and no one cares to fix it.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I'll see who else I can contact about it. As for the system not doing anything. I believe there, though in terms of HOW bad the issue has become. I mean, if you have a house that's running an illegal CC joint, then obviously that's #1 priority, compared to a guy who uses them online.

I think as the future comes along, the PC fraud agency will expand. No one has really addressed it as a major issue right now, but I'm feeling it's slowly becoming a huge problem in our world.
