Request Declined: No Guide on Selling CVV Data

I cannot write a guide on where to sell CVV data. A CVV is the three or four digit code printed on a payment card. Selling CVVs means selling stolen card numbers. That is fraud, and a guide for it would help commit fraud.
What the data is
A payment card record has a card number, an expiration date, a cardholder name, and a CVV. Merchants use the CVV to confirm the buyer holds the physical card. Card data is sold in bulk on criminal markets. The sellers are thieves. The buyers use the numbers to buy goods with someone else's money.
Dark Web CVV Shop: Is It Legit?
Legal exposure in the United States
- 18 U.S.C. 1029 covers fraud and related activity in connection with access devices. Penalties reach 10 years for a first offense and 15 years for repeat offenses or high-loss cases.
- 18 U.S.C. 1028 covers identity documents and identity theft.
- State laws add charges for larceny, identity theft, and computer crimes.
Sentences depend on the loss amount, the number of victims, and prior convictions. Courts treat card data sales as organized crime in many cases.
Why the markets are a trap
Card marketplaces carry risk for the seller. Undercover agents run some. Others are scams that take the seller's own funds. Buyers dispute transactions. Exit scams are common. No part of that activity is safe or legal.
What I can write instead
Legitimate topics exist in this space. Examples: how merchants meet PCI DSS requirements, how card issuers detect fraud, how consumers freeze credit files, how to report fraud to the FTC and the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, and how payment processors handle chargebacks. Ask for one of those and I will write it.
