 Hey there.  L.E. Pirate here.  Here's some ideas and info i've scrapped
up over my carding days that might just help you.  Everything contained here
will work and has been tried recently to check to see if businesses are still
ignorant.

ORDERING
=====-

        If you place an order to a big company (we'll use BEST as an
example) from their catalog, they will ask for the catalog number.
On the back of the catalog above the address there is an 6-8 digit
number that has the info about the person who they sent the catalog
to.  If you received the catalog in the mail, this is not only
foolish, but it can result in a terrible situation.  All they have to
do, is track down the owner of the catalog and nail them.  If the
catalog is sent to you under your parents name, or your name, then
you are generally screwed and wouldn't even think about ordering from
BEST if they demand your catalog id number.  The solution is simple.
tell the stupid shit operator that you picked up the catalog in a
doctor's office or dentist, etc.  and there is no number on the
catalog.  They will always believe you (they still believe in kissing
the customer's ass).

OBTAINING CARDS: A FEW WAYS
========================-

subsection: Casing for cards
========================-

   If you need that new CD player, surfboard, etc.  and you don't
have the time to order it, and you want it the next day, go casing!
(Read other xORG files on how to case).  Go around looking for open
cars or houses.  Search the house for PLASTIC, yes, the actual
plastic card.  It will usually take the owner 24-48 hours to notice
it is missing, even longer.  Do not take any cards you don't need
(like diner's club, etc...)  take MAC/GEORGE/TOM's cards and write
down their drivers license info, EVERYTHING on the license.  You can
later goto the ATM (automatic teller machine) and hack out the ID
number and get cash (usually the number is a phone number (4 digits),
etc).  You might also want EXXON, SUNOCO, etc. gas cards to fuel up
your car for the day or whatever.  But only take what you need.  Get
a VISA or MC and head to the local store.  Make sure you have another
card for ID.  Take a VISA to pay for it and a MC for identification.
Use it quickly (like within 24 hours) before it is reported as
stolen.  

-===========================- 
bsection: STUPID HOUSEWIVES
==========================- 

	This is so easy.  You go through someone's garbage and look for
bank info and stuff like that.  Anything that will have the name of
their bank on it.  The next day, take off school or work, whatever,
and give the house a call.  Make sure you get a house that the man
goes to work and the wife stays home and cooks and cleans, like a
real woman (very sexist, eh?).  Call up and do this:

B=BITCH   
Y=YOU RING,RING HELLO?  HELLO THERE.  THIS IS MARTY FINKLESTEIN FROM
1ST NATIONAL BUTTHOLE TRUST (or whatever their bank name is).  IS
THIS MRS. ABE DICKNOSE?  YES?  SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.  WE HAVE HAD A
MIXUP IN OUR COMPUTER RECORDS, IT SEEMS THAT YOUR CREDIT FILE HAS
BEEN ACCIDENTLY WIPED OUT.  OH MY.  IS IT SERIOUS?  NOT REALLY.  WE
NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU THOUGH.  WE HAVE LOST YOUR CURRENT CREDIT
CARD INFORMATION.  IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP TO MAKE THIS EASIER, YOU
COULD EITHER STOP BY THE BANK TODAY OR TOMORROW OR YOU COULD GIVE ME
YOUR CURRENT CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ON THE PHONE.  WHICHEVER YOU
PREFER.  (if they want to stop by the bank, just set up a fake
appointment and hang up.. they will, in most cases, be too busy to
stop by, and give you the info right on the phone).

   This method has worked many times before.  Try it out, it's a very easy and
simple way to do it.

-==================-
bsection: TRASHING
=================-

    Ugh.  This is the dirtiest way to obtain info.  Find a place that
accepts cards and go into their garbage dumpsters.  Try going to
florists or places that don't put out messy shit.  Don't goto food
places, etc.  you won't find anything you want there and most of the
info will be covered with food and other crap.  Try florists because
all you have to sift through is sweet, lovely, colourful flowers
(isn't that cute?).  Look generally for black carbon paper or
printouts.  If you goto insurance places or car dealerships, this can
land you computer printouts with TRW and CBI information and account
numbers on it, which are very valuable to an experienced hacker.
Look out for half-carbons.  They are carbon paper that have
perferated edges down them so they can easily be ripped in half and
discarded.  What most places do, is throw one side into 1 can and the
other side into another... so take both bags and put them together at
home.  Sure it will take awhile, but it's worth it.  The best time to
trash is at night.  It would be very handy to have a small, compact
flashlight that you can use to go through the dumpster instead of
feeling around, etc.  If you see someone, keep down low in the trash.
I have found myself in trashcans many times, and when I get caught in
there, I go, "Uhhh, have you seen my baseball??".... They'll usually
take you for stupid, or even act like a bum, that will work.

-============================-
bsection: INSIDE CONNECTIONS
===========================-

   Make a friend that works at a place that takes alot of cards.
Instead of throwing them away, ask him for them.  This guy I knew
used to keep them all and give them away.  If you can't find anyone,
get yourself a job somewhere.  The best place to work is a shoestore
like Kinney Shoes or Athlete's Foot.

CREDIT CHECKING
============-

   The simplest way to get credit checker numbers is go into record
stores.  last weekend I walked into a record store in Delaware and
bought the new WarZone album.  Right on the wall in big, girly, red
letters was.  "OUR MERCHANT NUMBER: XXXXXXXX.  OUR 800 NUMBER:
1-800-XXX-XXXX" It had listings for VISA/MC/DISCOVER and just about
everything else.  I pulled out my trusty pen while the chick was
opening the register and I wrote it on my hand.  I had just enough
time to copy down the VISA/MC one when she looked up.  Try record
places, army/navy stores, shoe stores, and places that need to check
credit on cards.

EXPLOITING
-========-

    So, you found a driver's license laying in the street while
walking downtown, eh?  You think to yourself, "BIG DEAL."
Nononononono.  Go trash at an insurance place and get ahold of CBI
and TRW printouts.  The printouts will contain everything buffered
when the person called CBI or TRW, it will even include an access
port number.  Call up CBI or TRW and enter exactly what is on the
prinout except in place of the person's name on the printout, put the
name of the person and address, etc. in the computer and buffer what
is shown.  Mail the information, her drivers license info, her
address, card numbers, credit info, everything to the person.  Find
your own way to exploit it to your own advantage.

    Well, that is just some short info on some various CCF things you
can do and things that can help you.  Hope it was educational and
thrilling for you.  -= L.E. Pirate =-
