clone wars!!!
hey guys there is no video to this one but i got some interesting info its kinda illegal so do it at your own risk! I did not try this a couple of people i know did and thay said it worked 100% of the time here it is! Cloning Gift Cards ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
[Disclaimer] I have a strict moral code about harming innocent people, I feel it is wrong and that almost nothing will ever justify it. I post the following information in hopes that it is passed around and the problem fixed without people getting hurt. [/Disclaimer]
Cloning gift cards for fun and profit
I guarantee that everyone has been to a Best Buy, Walmart, Academy, Target or similar store and seen the stacks of gift cards lying around unattended. I also guarantee that everyone has, at one point or another, wished they could steal them then use the cards to buy some cool new toys; my friends now you can and it is frighteningly simple to do.
How it works: Background on Gift Cards The modern gift card is very similar to a secured credit card. Each card is given an account number and a base balance of $0.00. To become activated a customer takes it to a cashier and forks over a wad of money which is deposited into the gift card’s individual account. When the card is used the register will automatically withdraw funds from the card’s account until it again hits $0.00.
Like all things involving money, this system needed a back-up fail safe. In gift cards it is the standard bar code printed on the back; should the magnetic strip become disabled the cashier will use the bar code to access the account. The weak link in this system is that cashier positions are filled 90% of the time with people who hate their jobs, are bored, or flat out don’t care. Thus they will not examine the card you bring them for abnormalities. This is where we attack.
The tools you will need to complete this: 1. copy machine or scanner/printer 2. piece of scotch tape (about 5″ will work) 3. magnet, knife, or other implement of magnetic strip demise 4. 2 or more gift cards (grab them in pairs, 1 original 1 clone) Some scissors
The Process FIrst the easy part: making the clones
1) First you have to obtain your gift cards. Walk into your favorite store and grab a stack of cards. Leave the store and return to your work shop
2) Now seperate the cards into 2 equal piles, the Blanks and the Bait. Copy the bar code on the backs of every card in the bait pile.
3) Destroy the magnetic strips on the backs of every card in the Blank pile. This is VITAL if the strip is not neutralized than this will not work. If you want to be sure the card is dead take it to the store and ask what the balance is; the card should do nothing when swipped. Do not let the cashier throw your blanks away, ask for them back and say thank you (They are people too! Extend basic courticy to them.)
4) Return to your lab and cut the bar codes out of your paper copies. Tape them over the bar code on the Blank cards. You are now finished cloning the cards.
Next the even easier part: Spending someone else’s money
1) Return to the store with your Bait cards. These are the ones that you did NOT destroy the strips on and have NOT taped anything to. They should look just like the ones found on the shelf (if they came in a package of some sort return the card the the package and reseal it; It needs to look like no one tampered with it.)
2) Place them back on the shelf in a place where people are going to grab them. The best place is at a register, but planting them here may be more difficult due to cashiers tending to hang out in this area. Any shelf will do, or just hand them to an employee and say they were on the floor (this approach may result in the cards being trashed so it should only be used as a last resort) After planting your bait return home.
3) Wait. People need time to buy [activate] these things. Call the store every other day or so to check the account balances (some stores will let you do this over the net) Once the bait is taken and a card is activated its time to spring into action
4) Go to the store and buy stuff with the cloned card. Sell it on ebay, keep it, give it to a homeless guy and call yourself Robbin Hood; it really does not matter because soon the stores will be forced to accept that their systems are deeply flawed. Just realize that whatever amount of money you just stole, came from someone else’s pocket and odds are the store will NOT give it back.
