asked questions such as "What is your HOME telephone number" and your billing |
address. Once they have this information, they can call directory assistance |
for your area code, say 312, and ask "May I have the phone number for a Larry |
Jerutis at 342 Stonegate Drive?" Of course, the operator should give a number |
that matches up with the one that you gave them as your home number. If it |
doesn't, the merchant knows that something is up. Even if it is an unlisted |
number, the operator will say that there is a Jerutis at that address, but the |
telephone number is non-published, which is enough to satisfy the merchant. |
If a problem is encountered, the order goes to a special pile that is actually |
called and the merchant will talk to the customer directly. Many merchants |
have policy to not ship at all if the customer can not provide a home phone |
number that corresponds with the address. |
The Call Back: |
------------- |
This deals with the merchant calling you back to verify the order. This |
does not imply, however, that you can stand by a payphone and wait for them to |
call back. Waiting by a payphone is one of the stupidest things I have ever |
heard of, being that few, if any, places other than the pizza place will call |
back immediately like that. What most places will do is process your order, |
etc, and then call you, sometimes it's the next day, sometimes that night. It |
is too difficult to predict when they will call back, but if they don't get a |
hold of you, or only get a busy, or an answering machine, they won't send the |
merchandise until they speak with you voice. This method is difficult to |
defeat, but fortunately, due to the high cost of phone bills, the directory |
assistance method is preferred. |
Billing Address: |
--------------- |
This should ALWAYS be the address that you are having the stuff sent to. |
One of the most stupidest things that you could do to botch up a carding job |
would be to say something like "Well, I don't want it sent to my house, I want |
it sent to....", or "Well, this is my wife's card, and her name is....". |
These methods may work, but for the most part, only rouse suspicion on you. |
If the order sounds pretty straightforward, and there isn't any unusual |
situations, it will better the chances of the order going through. |
Drop Houses: |
----------- |
These are getting harder and harder to come by for the reasons that |
people are more careful then before, and that UPS is smarter, also. Your best |
bet is to hit somebody that just moved, and I mean JUST moved, being that UPS |
will not know that there is nobody at the house anymore if it is within, say, |
a week of their moving. It's getting to the point where in some areas, UPS |
won't even leave the stuff on the doorstep, due to liability on their part of |
doing that. The old "Leave the stuff in the shrubs while I am at work" note |
won't work, most people are smart enough to know that something is odd, and |
will more than likely leave the packages with the neighbors before they shove |
that hard drive in the bushes. Many places, such as Cincinnati Microwave |
(maker of the Escort and Passport radar detectors) require a signature when |
the package is dropped off, making it that much harder. |
Best Bet: |

Here is the method that I use that seems to work well, despite it being a |
little harder to match up names and phone numbers. Go to an apartment |
building and go to the top floor. The trashier the place, the better. Knock |
on the door and ask if "Bill" is there. Of course, or at least hopefully, |
there will be no Bill at that address. Look surprised, then say "Well, my |
friend Bill gave me this address as being his." The occupants will again say |
"Sorry, but there is no Bill here...". Then, say that "I just moved here to |
go to school, and I had my parents sent me a bunch of stuff for school here, |
thinking that this was Bill's place." They almost always say "Oh Boy...". |
Then respond with "Well, if something comes, could you hold on to it for me, |
and I will come by in a week and see if anything came?" They will always say |
something to the effect of "Sure, I guess we could do that...". Thank them a |
million times for helping you out, then leave. A few days after your stuff |
comes, drop by and say, "Hi, I'm Jim, did anything come for me?". If |
everything was cool, it should have. The best thing to do with this is only |
order one or two small things, rather than an AT system with an extra monitor. |
People feel more comfortable about signing for something small for someone, |
rather than something big, being that most people naturally think that the |
bigger it is, the more expensive it is. |
This is the best method that I know of, the apartment occupants will |
usually sign for the stuff, and be more than happy to help you out. |
Advice: |
------ |
The thing that I can never stress enough is to not become greedy. Sure, |
the first shipment may come in so easy, so risk-free that you feel as if you |
can do it forever. Well, you can't. Eventually, if you do it frequently |
enough, you will become the subject of a major investigation by the local |
authorities if this becomes a real habit. Despite anything that anyone ever |
tells you about the police being "stupid and ignorant", you better reconsider. |
The police force is a VERY efficient organization once they have an idea as to |
who is committing these crimes. They have the time and the money to catch |
you. |
Don't do it with friends. Don't even TELL friends that you are doing it. This |
is the most stupid, dangerous thing that you could do. First of all, I don't |
care how good of friends anyone may be, but if a time came that you hated each |
other, this incident could be very bad for you. What could be even worse is a |
most common scenario: You and a friend get a bunch of stuff, very |
successfully. You tell a few friends at school, either you or him have to |
tell only one person and it gets all over. Anyways, there is ALWAYS some type |
of informant in every high-school. Be it a teacher, son or daughter of a cop, |
or whatever, there is always a leak in every high school. The police decide |
to investigate, and find that it is becoming common knowledge that you and/or |
your friend have ways of getting stuff for "free" via the computer. Upon |
investigation, they call in your friend, and tell him that they have enough |
