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.
Purchasing CVV codes (the three- or four-digit security numbers on payment cards) from online "shops" is a form of payment card fraud. These CVVs are typically stolen from real cardholders. Any transaction involving such data is illegal under laws such as the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and various state financial fraud statutes. Participating in this activity can lead to felony charges, imprisonment, and heavy fines.
Legitimate merchants never ask you to buy CVV codes. CVVs are used only to verify that you possess the physical card during an online purchase. If you need to enter a CVV, it should be the one printed on your own card. Sharing or purchasing someone else's CVV is a crime.
If you come across someone selling CVV data, report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If you believe your own card information has been stolen, contact your bank immediately and place a fraud alert.
There is no legitimate step-by-step guide for buying CVV codes from shops. Doing so is a federal crime with severe penalties. Focus instead on protecting your own financial data and reporting any fraudulent activity you witness.
