RE: In your own words: A lot of effort for a flag?

in #steemit7 years ago

You know, I probably should not laugh but I do find this to be comically pathetic. So much work to scam, imagine if those same people would put all that work into thinking for themselves... now that would be the day.

A long time ago, in the name of science I did some research in the darkweb to know exactly how the scammers steal Credit Cards and what not, being someone who had his CC stolen I learned quite a lot and my curiosity needed to be satisfied.

I was blown away by the amount of work it required, basically the amount of work that person had to do to steal my CC number and use it in a gamestop for 200 bucks was more than a full time job....

btw Tarazkp we are doing a little audio chat tonight around 6pm on helpie, if you are around and got the time.

Sort:  

I find it that way too. People seem to go to a lot of effort to cut corners. The funny thing is that if they had added a simple, related comment, they would have made at least 0.11 SBD.

I guess it is a volume game for the CC scams or, they are based in countries where 200 dollars is a lot.

It is really hard for me to join voice chats at night as we have a small apartment and essentially, by the time I have a chance to get to work here, everyone is asleep.

well in the off chance that you can, we will be on there in about 2 hours or so from the time of this comment... if you can't thats obviously ok, but it would be ninja

humm yeah that's interesting, plus after you spend some money from the card you can get frozen, refunded, I suppose it's a lot of sneaky business to not raise any suspicion and at best it's gonna be a month before the person realises or well when everything is drained, yup you are correct on that.
