In this Podcast, we will discuss what the term “Carding” means and how “Carders” operate.

DALLAS - Thousands of credit cards were potentially compromised in a hotel room purchasing scheme worth $250,000, according to federal court documents. According to the criminal complaint, which was unsealed last week, investigators in Dallas began looking into suspicious hotel room purchases allegedly made by K. Klutts and O. Edwards in late August.  The pair would rent one or two rooms in different hotels in Dallas, Fort Worth and other areas and then sub-rent the room to other people at lower fees, the document says. Klutts is accused of buying those rooms with credit card numbers she bought from a “carding network.”

How to Present a Fraud Case to Law Enforcement: Episode 3

Skip Myers and Chad Evans discuss how a well-written fraud report that details the virtual evidence and answers the who, what, where, when, why, and how questions relating to your case will leave very little room for questioning by the defense. A thorough investigation and detailed report could assist you with avoiding and/or having to attend court and derail the defense attorney's attempt to question the validity of your case. This process means quicker turnaround with case resolution, potential plea deals, restitution, and the return of stolen property.
