Numbers: Buy Credit Card

: Authorities can often track fraudulent purchases back to the buyer, especially if items are shipped to a physical address.

: Compromised data is listed for sale on underground forums, often priced between $5 and $150 depending on the card type and whether it has been verified. The Risks of Purchasing Stolen Data

: Many sites claiming to sell "valid" credit card numbers are themselves scams designed to steal money or personal information from the would-be buyer.

: Physical devices installed on ATMs or POS terminals, and newer "digital pickpocketing" techniques, capture card data from unsuspecting users.
