Request Declined: Selling CVV Data Is Card Fraud

Why I Can't Write This Guide

I can't produce content that explains how to sell CVV numbers online, where to find buyers, how to price them, or how to avoid detection. That is a how-to for payment card fraud, and I won't write it regardless of how the request is framed.

What a CVV Actually Is

The CVV is the three or four digit security code printed on a payment card. It exists to prove the person entering card details physically holds the card. Selling that code, or any full card record, transfers the ability to make unauthorized charges.

The Legal Reality in the United States

Trafficking in stolen card credentials falls under 18 U.S.C. § 1029, which covers fraud and related activity in connection with access devices. Penalties include substantial fines and prison time, and they scale with the number of records involved. Operating or patronizing a carding marketplace is itself a chargeable offense.

What I Can Help With Instead

If you are a merchant, I can write about PCI DSS scope, tokenization, chargeback handling, or fraud screening rules. If you are a cardholder, I can cover freezing your credit, disputing unauthorized charges, and reporting identity theft to the FTC. If you are researching fraud economics for academic or defensive security work, I can point you toward published breach and loss statistics rather than operational methods.
