(first i remember was from some korean bastards) and they bought 3k+ worth of garbage....like phone cards and other random dumb things. if i was to do the carding thing like they use to do in the mid 90's to buy computers. )

Ahhhhh!! The 90's life was just so different, so much easier. We only had to deal with fraud from Easter European countries and some Asian. Now days you have to deal with the biggest threat coming out of western Africa, where their approach is still brute force, but their will to get to merchandize so they can sell it in the black market is amazingly vigorous.
You can literally sit there and watch the sessions going through your e-commerce site
As they use hundreds and hundreds of CC numbers. Of course all this information is very helpful when dealing with the banks and fighting off the charge backs. But to me this issue will not go away easy. These guys buy anything from coffee makers to bibles and they buy them from places like target to the mom and pop shop down the street.
That’s right. As long as the merchants have means to be reached (phone,fax,website) they will use the stolen cards to buy it.
