For so long as fraud artists have been around so too have opportunistic robbers who specialize in tearing off different fraud artists. This is the story about a group of Pakistani Internet site manufacturers who apparently have produced an extraordinary residing impersonating a few of the most used and well-known “carding” markets, or online retailers that promote stolen credit cards.

The administrators constantly advise customers to be aware there are lots of look-alike shops collection as much as grab logins to the actual Joker's Stash or to make down with any resources transferred with the impostor carding store as a prerequisite to looking there. jokers stash

But that did not stop a outstanding safety researcher (not this author) from lately plunking down $100 in bitcoin at a site he believed was run by Joker's Deposit (jokersstashdotsu). Alternatively, the managers of the impostor website claimed the minimal deposit for watching stolen card information on industry had risen up to $200 in bitcoin.

The researcher, who requested to not be called, claimed he obliged with an additional $100 bitcoin deposit, only to find that his username and code to the card shop no longer worked. He'd been fooled by scammers conning scammers.

Because it occurs, prior to experiencing using this researcher I'd acquired a hill of research from Jett Chapman, still another security researcher who swore he'd unmasked the real-world identity of the people behind the Joker's Stash carding empire.

Chapman's study, step by step in a 57-page record distributed to KrebsOnSecurity, pivoted from community information leading from the same jokersstashdotsu that ripped off my researcher friend.

“I've gone to a couple cybercrime forums wherever individuals who have applied jokersstashdotsu that were confused about who they actually were,” Chapman said. “Many left feedback stating they're scammers who will only ask for cash to deposit on the website, and then you may never hear from them again.”

But in conclusion of Chapman's record — that somehow jokersstashdotsu was linked to the true criminals running Joker's Stash — did not ring totally accurate, although it was professionally documented and carefully researched. Therefore with Chapman's benefit, I provided his report with the researcher who'd been scammed and a police resource who'd been monitoring Joker's Stash.

Equally established my suspicions: Chapman had discovered a great network of internet sites documented and setup around a long period to impersonate a few of the biggest and longest-running offender credit card robbery syndicates on the Net
