I posted this as a comment, but others may find this useful. This is a basic introduction, not a guide, and others more knowledgeable are encouraged to add to it.
There once was a dn forum called hackbb that is not around. A simple proxy will not protect you from feds.
However, attaching a proxy to the end of your tor circuit allows you to maintain anonymity and also bypass some of the checks websites like paypal or other payment processors use. Proxifier or proxy chains are good for this. Also vip72 for unburned proxies. Otherwise you burn the cc...
Not nearly complete list of metrics used to detect fraud:
- ip address whois information (is proxy whois within ~150-200 km, or less, of card owner address)?
- time zone: why do you have utc, timezones must match!!
- proxy MUST be fresh, there are services to check if a proxy is fresh and those that detect proxies..
- user agent, your browser should not look like tor! flag
Now you say, this dude must think I am stupid, telling me not to use the tor browser. So load Whonix in an environment like Qubes, download proxifier as well as firefox, developers claim ip leaks are impossible. Use that workstation only for carding. Multiple workstation for different parts if you are paranoid (which you should be if you are carding).
There was a guide that hackbb linked to, that discussed hardening a vanilla firefox, note this was on windows, do not do that!!! An alli bank account will be necessary to register using a full, not your own info, using similar procedures, for cashing out later. This is much more difficult, from a technical AND opsec side, than using a drop!

- IANAC, take this with a grain of salt
- This was something I researched a few years ago, fraud checks are probably better, and my explanation is no where near complete.
- People on carding forums are usually willing to sell guides and tips, but again, little will be free.
- If you have a conscience, you may feel shitty down the road, however.
- On the other hand, I believe in an absolute freedom of disseminating information.
