A CVV is the 3-digit code on the back of most payment cards, or the 4-digit code on the front of American Express cards. It belongs to the cardholder and the issuing bank. No bank, broker, or payment processor sells CVV data to the public. This page does not list vendors, markets, or wallets. Any site that offers card numbers for bitcoin is selling stolen data, resold data, or nothing at all.

Who investigates

  • U.S. Secret Service: financial crimes and card skimming.
  • FBI: market takedowns and card theft tied to ransomware crews.
  • Postal Inspection Service: mail-based card theft.
  • Europol and national units: cross-border carding rings.

Bitcoin is not anonymous. Every transaction sits on a public ledger. Exchanges keep identity records under the Bank Secrecy Act. Chain analysis firms group wallets into clusters, link clusters to exchange accounts, then link accounts to people.

Why buyers lose money

Card shops have short lives. Investigators seize the servers. Sellers take payment, then delete the account. A buyer cannot report the loss, because the report is a confession to the same crime. Carding forum studies find that a large share of listings are fake, resold to many buyers, or tied to cards that were already canceled.

Cost to cardholders and merchants

The FTC receives millions of identity theft reports each year. In most cases card networks reverse fraudulent charges for consumers. Merchants, issuers, and cardholders absorb the rest through fees, chargebacks, and hours spent on disputes.

If your card data is exposed

  1. Call the issuer. Ask for a freeze and a new card number.
  2. File a report at IdentityTheft.gov.
  3. File a complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center.
  4. Read statements for small test charges.
