Online Scams: Buying a Stolen Credit Card and the Power of Big Companies

The world wide web is a wonderful place. Really, they should have make it a 4-w instead of 3. The internet wipes off limitations of time and space, identity and morals. If there is freedom, it lies in the gentle tension between the keyboard and the screen. There are sites for anything possible, illegal as it may be, and the clash between the online free life and the cultured reality is sometimes simply hilarious.

Rock3D is a website of Web Commerce Communications Limited DBA Webnic.cc, a company that sells stolen credit cards online. WebNIC has been in business since 2000, and their Rock3D site has existed since October of 2009. This isn’t some savvy geek or two, looking to host their crooked site offshore. This is an organized front company, who may possibly be getting their credit card numbers from unwitting customers who do business through any of their other servers.

What this company makes harms us in so many ways. First, it creates a huge headache to the person whose card number got stolen. Second, they make big trouble for small companies that can’t handle the mess of credit card fraud, and eventually ask customers to pay cash or CC only. And third, they make us suspicious towards small unknown online companies, and helping dinosaurs such as Amazon, IKEA or GoDaddy become even more massive and intact.

So my sad advice to you people, after suffering myself from the results of Rock3D or like-companies, is to stick with brands you trust. At least online, at least when you pay with your credit card. Even if you just want to play on 888 casino or some other Roulette Casino, make sure you use your card wisely.
