Onyx Gift Cards is a Grenadian company designed to introduce, market and manage gift cards systems in Grenada for retailers and corporations. We are enthusiastic about the effect and influence we will have on the local market. We intend to expand our systems regionally with a range of product offerings and services.
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.
A CVV dump is a stolen payment card record: the card number, expiration date, and the security code printed on the back, sometimes bundled with the cardholder's name and billing address. These records exist because they were skimmed, phished, or pulled out of a breached merchant database. They are sold in bulk on criminal forums and encrypted chat channels, and the people selling them do not own the cards they are selling. That means there is no legitimate marketplace to review, no vendor to compare, and no purchase process I can describe. Writing a buyer's guide for this keyword would mean writing instructions for committing card fraud, so I'm declining that part of the request.
In the United States, trafficking in stolen card credentials is a federal crime. The relevant statute covers producing, selling, transferring, or possessing counterfeit or unauthorized access devices with intent to defraud, and it applies to the person buying the data as well as the person selling it. Penalties scale with the number of records and the dollar value of the intended fraud, and cases are routinely charged federally rather than at the state level. Purchasing a dump and then using it to buy goods is two offenses, not one: the purchase itself and each fraudulent transaction.
If you need card credentials for a real purpose, the only lawful source is the issuer or the cardholder. A merchant that needs to store card data for recurring billing has to work through a payment processor and comply with the card networks' data security standard. A developer testing payment flows can use the test card numbers that processors publish for sandbox environments. Those numbers look like real card numbers, they behave like real card numbers in a test mode, and they are worthless to a criminal because no account is attached.
Report it to the issuer immediately; in the U.S. your liability for unauthorized charges is capped, but only if you report promptly. Then file a report with the FTC and, if money was actually taken, with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. Those reports feed the investigations that shut down the marketplaces in the first place, which does more to reduce the supply of dumps than anything a buyer could do.
I can write about payment security, PCI compliance, fraud detection, chargeback handling, or how to harden a checkout against card testing attacks. Any of those is a real topic with real readers and real sources. Just say which one.
