Gift cards are the preferred way of giving and receiving gifts. They carry a monetary value that can be redeemed for gifts at your favorite store.
Onyx GiftCards are “Open Gift Cards” which means that they can be redeemed at multiple merchant locations. They are standard credit card size, can fit into the average wallet and made of PVC plastic. Onyx GiftCards are Barcoded for security and safety for the consumer and bear a disclaimer at the back.
Onyx Giftcards can be bought with a branded Card backer which is black in colour and is designed to fit the card. There is an area to write a brief message to the recipient as well.
There is no legitimate CVV dump seller. A "CVV dump" is stolen payment card data, and buying, selling, or using one is a federal crime in the United States under 18 U.S.C. § 1029. Every storefront, forum thread, or chat account advertising dumps is either committing a felony or running an advance-fee scam that takes payment and delivers nothing.
A CVV dump is cardholder data lifted from a breached merchant, a gas-pump skimmer, or a phishing page. It usually bundles a card number, expiration date, security code, and cardholder name, sometimes with a billing ZIP code or bank login. None of that data belongs to the person offering it for sale.
Penalties include up to 10 years in prison for a first trafficking offense and up to 15 years for aggravated cases, plus restitution and asset forfeiture. Banks also pursue civil recovery, and individual victims can sue. A conviction typically carries lasting employment and immigration consequences as well.
Report the account to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, the FTC, and your card issuer's fraud line. If your own card data was exposed, place a freeze with all three credit bureaus and review statements for unauthorized charges. Keep screenshots and message logs, since investigators use them to link sellers to a broader operation.
