Request declined
I cannot write a guide on how to sell CVV data. A CVV is the card verification value printed or encoded on a payment card. Selling one means selling access to a payment account that belongs to someone else.
Why
- In the US, trafficking in card credentials falls under 18 U.S.C. 1029. Penalties reach 10 to 15 years per count, higher for repeat offenses.
- Buyers and sellers both face liability. The statute covers transfer, sale, and possession with intent to defraud.
- Card networks void transactions made with stolen credentials. Chargebacks land on merchants, not on the seller.
- Payment processors and banks flag CVV resale traffic. Accounts tied to it get closed and reported.
What I can write about instead
Legitimate topics close to this one: how card-not-present fraud is detected, how CVV checks work in tokenized payments, PCI DSS requirements for storing card data, and how merchants handle chargeback disputes. I can write any of those as a plain factual guide.
