This is an attempt to tutor individuals lacking in the knowledge of how to get items from stores without actually paying for them and not having to show up in person. Instead, charge them to someone elses credit card (also known as 'CC') account. This process is known as 'credit carding' or just 'carding' amongst people in that field of acquiring goods.
The first and foremost thing to do is acquire CC information. The things that are necessary are: name of the card holder, expiration date, account number, and the CC type. (that is: Visa, American Express, MasterCard, etc.)
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
In order to get these important bits of information, you would have to know where to look. The cards themselves have all of this information right on them. However, an easier and better place to find these things is on the carbons that stores use to put the info. on the different sheets to give to The CC company, themselves or their bookkeeper, and 3:the customer himself. On these carbons, it should be pretty obvious as to which is which.
HOW-TO GET CARBONS:
The best way to get the carbons is by rooting through the trash cans (or dumpster(s)) of a store. This process is known as 'trashing'. The bsh depends on the time of the year in which you are looking for the carbons. For instance, during the Christmas season: toy stores, during major season (temperature) changes: clothing stores, etc. Basically, go wherever there is the largest buying attraction during that period of time. Whenever, there is no major buying attraction, try independant clothing stores or department stores.
TRASHING CLOTHES:
I suggest that you wear some really grubby, old, etc. clothing when you go trashing, because you never know what some of these stores are gonna throw away. If you are kinda sqeemish, wear rubber gloves and those pant covers that farmers use, I am not shure what they are called, but they're made of rubber and will keep the nasties away from you when you go trashing.
CARBONS:
After you have gotten a considerable number (30 - 500) of carbons, you need to identify the proper parts of the carbon. The important parts of the carbon will look like Diagram 1 does.

CARD HOLDER'S NAME: (SEE DIAG. 1) The card holder's name should be quite clear on all carbons that you find in the same place as on diagram one. If it is not there, it should be easy to distinguish from any other information on the carbon.
EXP. DATES: (SEE DIAG. 1)
The expiration dates can be in two forms. The forms are thus: XX/XX THRU XX/XX which would be found on exp date(2) and is used on American Express cards, and XX-XX which is found in either exp date(1) or exp date(3) aVISA or MasterCard.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: (SEE DIAG. 1)
Account numbers are generally found in the top, left-hand corner of the carbon. They can be found in other places, but that is the most common.
CARD TYPE:
The formats of account numbers are quite varied between CC companies. Diagram 2 shows which major card types use which formats. You can use diagram two, or a reasonable facsimile, for identification of CC types on your carbons. If the number is not of any of these formats, discard that carbon, for it'd not be of a majorly accepted gender.

Before you order your merchandise, you must figure out a place to send the merchandise. You do ** NOT ** want the store from which you shop, the card holder, or the CC company to know where you really live.
QUALIFICATIONS:
In order for a house to qualify as an inconspicuous drop spot, it must meet several requirements. It must look like a place where people could really live and be getting things sent through UPS to them. It must be a place that the owners will not 'visit' too regularly. It may have a 'FOR SALE' sign in front of it, but it is better if it doesn't. And most important of all, it must be a place that you can check up on often. Make sure you WRITE DOWN the address in a place where you will NOT forget it and where it will be readily accessible when you are ordering merchandise. (SEE STEP III)
If you have a catalog or something that you ar then follow the directions given in the book for making phone orders. Make sure the address given is the drop spot's address, and NOT yours. If your voice doesn't sound mature enough to be an adults, the order-taker might be suspicious. There are two ways to solve this. The first is to tell the order taker that you are doing this for your parents 'cause they are too busy to order it, so they made you do it. This is risky. The second and better one is to have someone else order it (WHILE YOU WATCH HIM/HER!) for you. The person that does this should be VERY trustworthy. Be sure to know the expected time of delivery. (SEE STEP IV)
You should leave a little note inside the front door or hanging in some place that even the dumbest UPS driver could see. This note should be typed or printed and give directions as to where to leave the package(s). Things like the back porch or under a tarpaulin or in a box on the front porch usually work best. And say something to the effect of each family member working and thatht schedule and anything other than leaving it where mentioned would be very inconvenient for you. You then approach the building every other night starting the day after the expected delivery to get your 'present'.
