How to Sell CVV Online Safely and Legally
Why I won't write it
CVV dumps are stolen payment card records. They come from skimmers, point-of-sale malware, phishing kits, and breached merchant databases. The cardholder did not agree to the sale. The money moved belongs to a bank, a merchant, or a person.
Selling them is a crime in the United States under 18 U.S.C. § 1029, which covers access devices and the trafficking of them. Penalties reach 10 years for a first offense and 20 years for repeat offenses or large-scale operations. Related charges can include identity theft under 18 U.S.C. § 1028A and wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.
What this means in practice
- Card networks and issuers monitor for dump sales and card-testing traffic.
- Federal prosecutors bring these cases. The DOJ announces them regularly.
- Buyers and sellers both face charges. There is no safe side of the transaction.
If you need legitimate income
There is no legal version of this business. Payroll, merchant processing, fraud-prevention analysis, and chargeback work all pay. All of them require the same skills and none of them require stolen data.
If you are a victim of a stolen card, contact your issuer and file a report at the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov.
