Selling CVVs: We Can't Publish This Guide

Why this request can't be filled

So we won't write a guide on how to sell CVVs, avoid scams while doing it, or pick buyers. That content would help readers commit a felony, and it would harm real cardholders who pay the bill.

What a CVV actually is

The three or four digit code on a card backs up online transactions. Merchants use it to prove the person typing the number holds the physical card.

Any market that trades CVVs, dumps, or full card data runs on stolen numbers bought with phishing, skimming, breach dumps, or fake checkout pages. Buyers and sellers both sit inside a criminal chain.

What we can help with instead

• How to spot card skimmers and fake checkout pages before you pay.
• How to report stolen card data to your bank, the FTC, or the FBI's IC3 tip line.
• How to sell your own legal digital products (templates, ebooks, courses) without buyer-side fraud.
• How to handle chargebacks and scam buyers when you sell physical goods online.
• How to freeze your credit and set up fraud alerts after a data breach.

If someone tried to sell you CVVs

Anyone offering CVV numbers, card dumps, or "fresh" fullz is selling stolen data. Legitimate processors never sell you card details. That pitch is either a scam aimed at you or evidence of a crime.

Cut contact, keep the messages, and report the account to the platform and to IC3.gov. If your own card was exposed, call the number on the back of the card and ask for a new number.
