Card testing programs are illegal

Card testing is the practice of using stolen credit card numbers to make small purchases or donations to see if the cards are still active. Criminals then use the validated cards for larger fraudulent transactions. A card testing program automates this process. Buying or using such a program is a crime in the United States and many other countries. It violates laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and wire fraud statutes. We do not provide buying guides for illegal tools.

What to do instead

If you are a merchant, you can take steps to prevent card testing on your site. Use address verification, CVV checks, and rate limiting. Monitor for patterns like many small transactions from the same IP address. Work with your payment processor. If you are a consumer, protect your card details and report suspicious activity to your bank.
