Probably not that crazy... maybe carders converting stolen cards to cash?
- alecco 18y agoSounds right. The key problem for carders is the drop place and buying this way disconnects the card with physical address. Plus it could be used as a black market currency. Oh, and ideal for tax evasion at the micro level. The taxman is much better at tracking this type of scams than FBI, no CSI magic but plain old "follow the money." Now, if I were an US three-letter agency agent, I'd be the top seller of this cards and track the hell out of it. I mean, it even gives a profit, no budget issues. Tracking email, IP, and making contacts would be trivial. Could even be done without a court order to PayPal or anything. Selling gift cards isn't a crime, so it wouldn't be entrapment by itself, AFAIK and IANAL.
