How much money do card skimmers make?

[Alexmon]

Out of curiosity how much money do credit card skimmer thieves make ?

Do criminals find it worth doing for money?


....just wondering.

[Alexmon]

bump,

does anybody have an idea how much these people make?

[ShadyLady]

There's no way of answering that. Every 'credit card skimmer thief' makes a different amount of money off it. It all depends on the circumstances.

[senshido]

They make alot in any case.

[Tachosomoza]

It varies from person to person and case to case, like anything else in BI. There isn't any salary/pay chart for these things.

[The Duke]

They obviously find it profitable, otherwise, why do it?

[GreatestGatsby4]

What

Annual income is probably 2 gallons in prison.

OOO, rich, tough criminal over here. Tell me moar.

I remember about five years ago when skimming was still new this guy I knew blew up with bank skimming. Senshido you're in Canada so you must know RBC, well he had the RBC bank plate. This guy was 19 or 20 and had bought his mom a house, had a crazy car with Lamborghini doors, Rolex watches, his dope dealer was able to buy a condo off the money he made off of him. Eventually he fucked up and got sentenced to two years and then deported back to Colombia.

D+P Cashing is worse than normal dumps without pin cashing these days. Too much security on 2XX d+p not yet understood. You can rarely cash them in the country you skimmed them in.

Factory workers yes.

[paulbras]

Senshido: send me some cvv's bro!

[Alexmon]

this is interesting,
if you think of it,
after about 2000 people use the machine it will be eventually noticed.
just say on a busy friday or saturday 50 people use the machine.

so 100 people use it and the thief cash's out minimum of €200


100 X 200 = 20,000 in 2 days.

[wolfmobster]

They make good money, really. My neighbors friend skimmed a few hundred (or thousand) dumps... sold out in 3 days making $30k.
From what my neighbor says, he's still making hella gwap.

[Mordisk]

where do you sell identitys and stuff?

[DarkNinja]

It really depends if your skimming just for personal proffit or if your a seller.
If your selling (This is where the real proffit comes in) skimmed ccs you have to consider a few things.

*How many dumps do you get a day
*How many buyers you got?
*How much are you selling them for?

the best way is to find a trust worthy buyer (usually start with a close friend its like selling weed it all starts with people you know) and sell in bulks. A single visa usually goes for $2-3 and the price goes up usually to around $30 for a full DOB + CC but for the average skimmer thats usually impossible to get unless you have a reliable contact at a bank etc and by reliable I mean he wont rat you out if he gets caught stealing info.

If your cashing out at atms that all depends on you. The best way id do it if I could is give each of your most TRUST worthy friends a cc (so he doesnt run off with the money) lol that you skimmed and written to a good plastic and basically you each hit multiple machines taking out $100 or $200 each time. then you meet up after calculate how much you got and split the proffit between you. The reason why id do it with friends is well one its quicker cause if your in the middle of the town there is usually atms around every corner so if you all just split up make sure you prescout the area for camers etc the best time to prescout is during lunch hour when the streets are busy as hell and lots of people. Never prescout an area during the night alot of people think this is better but its not. also never do atms around banks this should be carding 101 lol anyway if all goes well you could easily make $500 a day just be carefull how you spend it of course

Im a noob at this myself and havet attemped it so apologies if the terms I used are incorrect.

[wolfmobster]

Yeah. Like, most vendors only sell dumps without pin. If they do have pin, they will most likely skim those for themselves, with a hidden cam. I used to sell drugs, but after I found you can get way more money almost effortlessly doing fraud, I quit cold turkey. I just laugh at my next door neighbor trying to pump his dirt weed daily thinking he is big shit on the block. He's cool tho.

I would tell him about this, but his girl wants to fuck me... he envies me anyway lol.

You're gonna lose your first 2 skimmers before getting the hang of it anyways so factor that cost in.

[iMagiNation]

[Alexmon]

I'm guessing he means they would probably be found or installed incorrectly or broken or if you smoke weed maybe you forget which ATM you installed it at or maybe you bought a worthless piece of plastic because you can't tell the difference.

Shit happens, and usually it happens when you are starting out. That goes for just about anything you do that you've never done before.

That is correct, or in another form called as newbie

paulbras: Thank you, wolfmobster. Skimmers revealed for 200, please.

[laber_one]

if your based in the US and you cant get your head around it, then it probably isnt for you. In UK its twice as difficult because of the atm's in use.

The best way to learn about skimming is to read up on people that try and prevent it.

This is how much my friend made



sits on his wall in a frame and is very proud

50000 ugandan Dollars Mam

[INEEDMONEY]

1 BILLION DOLLARS!

[Alexmon]

hah ha , very funny.

[RLR]

I am from the Uk and a programme was on last week regarding gangs that skim ATM machines in London. They stated on there that the gangs were making millions of £'s a year through this.

[Alexmon]

I would guess you can make more than 500$ a day...

[hack3lite]

Depending on the BIN of the card that was skimmed, someone can easily make as much as $5,000 or as little as $50 by using that information. I have a friend who buys a minimum of two Ipad 3's with one dump. They cost $900 each and he can quickly sell them at almost face value on Craigslist, since everyone wants Apple products these days. That's enough to pay his rent and car note for the month, all in one days worth of "work".

In order to have success you must first know what type of card you are using. The potential for money is unlimited.

[EmptyShelve]

Is the skimming business still that alive as it was years ago? I mean with the new CHIP features on newer plastics it has to be hard to skim those.

America is still just a simple pvc card, mag strip, and pin.

[gadzooks]

[Alexmon]
