Hi
I am a researcher on the video and documentary team for VICE.com in London.
We're currently developing an online film about young people involved in the online carding world in the UK (ACs / Deetsing in slang).
If anyone has any links or contacts in that world, or would want to speak to me anonymously about this world of fraud, please get in touch. Any advice appreciated.
Our end goal is to film immersive, original actuality-scenes with some of these young fraudsters to show the lifestyle they are living through fraud, and we will obviously take every possible step to protect their identity. But happy to simply have off-the-record convo for research.
My team specialises on films about illegal activities so we have extensive experience of protecting our sources. We keep no records of our sources: no names, phone numbers or addresses. We permanently blur the face of our contributors. There are no risks of the police ever tracing it back to them.
I recommend our potential contributors to watch some of our online films to see how fraudsters are shown on screen: How to Get Away With Stealing (fraud), How to Sell Drugs, Debt Collector, Walking Heavy. We can distort voices, change names, blur faces, and provide balaclavas to our contributors.
VICE's youtube channel has over 7 million subscribers, some of our films on youtube have been seen over 20 million times, so if we managed to make this film happen, it could be a pretty big hit. VICE is originally a Canadian punk magazine, so our documentaries try and stay true to this ethos. We investigate topics that speak to the urban youth globally: weird subcultures, boundary-pushing underground music, drugs and money, social justice and protests, as well as criminal activity.
I have Signal, Jabber and can use PGP. My work related twitter: https://twitter.com/AnaisBremond, and my professional email address is anais.bremond@vice.com

Had a friend go on Vice, now he's doing 20 years because Vice sold off his info to the feds. Wouldn't even let this lad suck my cock cause they would pry off a pube and run off to the labs the first second they get.
