We can't help with a request to sell CVV data. Buying or selling card verification values is card fraud, it is illegal in most countries, and it causes direct financial harm to the cardholder whose account is used. This site publishes content about greeting cards and gifts, so this page explains the legal reality instead of offering instructions.
What a CVV actually is
A CVV is the short security code printed on a payment card, separate from the card number. It exists to prove the person paying is holding the physical card. Payment networks and security standards require merchants to protect that code and forbid storing it after a transaction is authorized.
Why selling CVV data is a crime
- It is treated as unauthorized access device fraud, which carries serious penalties.
- It usually involves stolen card numbers, so it overlaps with identity theft.
- Funds taken through fraudulent charges are often recovered from merchants, not only from banks.
If you have encountered stolen card data or a marketplace offering it, reporting it to your national cybercrime authority is the useful next step. If your own card details were exposed, contact your bank and request a replacement card.
