🎯 Executive Summary

Pickup and interception represent high-yield strategies within the fraud ecosystem, specifically focused on physical goods. Unlike digital fraud or brute-forcing accounts, pickup operations involve intercepting packages, leveraging fake documentation, and navigating post-purchase logistics.

This chapter is a comprehensive operational guide to Pickup/Interception. You’ll gain insights into its mechanics, financial considerations, required tools, and risk mitigation strategies, all formatted for efficient execution.


⚙️ 1. Introduction: What Is Pickup?

Pickup refers to retrieving goods purchased via fraudulent means, typically credit card (CC) fraud, by intercepting shipments or collecting them directly from postal services or couriers.

Interception expands this method by hijacking deliveries intended for legitimate recipients—often requiring insider access, social engineering, or manipulation of delivery addresses.


🧰 2. Prerequisites & Operational Setup

✅ Financial Investment 💵


Initial Budget: $1,000 - $1,500 for serious testing

Purpose: Purchase high-quality CCs, dedicated servers, and initial service fees

Breakdown:

ItemCost
CC Dumps (With Fullz)$10 - $50 each
Dedicated Servers (Dedi)$15 - $25 per shop
Fake Documents$50 - $200 per set
Pickup Service FeesVaries (see Section 6)

✅ Skillset Requirements 🗣️

English Proficiency: Mandatory for phone verification

Social Engineering: Useful for manipulating couriers and sellers

Technical Proficiency: Needed for anti-detect browsing and OpSec implementation


✅ Toolchain 🛠️

ToolPurpose
Anti-Detect Browsers (Linken Sphere, AdsPower)Avoid fingerprint tracking
Residential ProxiesMatch regional data of CC owners
Secure Communication (Telegram, Wickr)Coordination with pickup services and drops
Cookie Management ToolsMaintain sessions and avoid re-authentication

🔥 3. How Pickup Works: Step-by-Step Breakdown

1️⃣ Select and Validate a Shop 🛍️


• Focus on high-ticket goods (electronics, luxury items)

• Ensure the merchant doesn’t require stringent ID verification

• Confirm shipping methods support interception (FedEx, UPS, USPS)


2️⃣ Set Up a Clean Dedi Server 🖥️

• Use dedicated servers exclusively for each shop

• Proxy IP should be regionally aligned with the CC holder’s location

• Clean browsing history and session fingerprint before operation


3️⃣ Purchase and Load a CC (Credit Card) 💳

• Prefer cards from rolls (real-time balance checked)

• Fullz should include:

• Name

• DOB

• SSN (optional)

• Billing Address

• Phone number


4️⃣ Place Orders 🔐

• Use billing address of CC holder

• Ship to:

  1. Pickup location (preferred)
  2. Intercepted address (advanced)
First order: small-ticket item (warm-up)

Second order: high-value product (target profit)


🚀 4. Types of Pickup Operations

1️⃣ Fake Documents-Based Pickup 🪪


• 95% of successful pickups today require high-quality fake ID

• Used to collect packages from postal services or couriers

• Must match CC holder data to avoid suspicion


2️⃣ Drop Name Pickup 👥

• Obsolete and high-risk

• Uses a drop’s real identity for pickups

• Requires managing drop’s OpSec and payment


🗺️ 5. Pickup Service Providers & Marketplaces

Service providers act as intermediaries between the fraudster and the physical collection of goods.

✅ Current Trusted Providers

ProviderRegionService Type
Druzhba USAUSAAccepts parcels with fake IDs at postal branches
Fake ID MoonGlobalProvides forged documentation and pickup agents

✅ Common Terms of Service

Coverage Areas: ZIP codes, cities, and post offices

Acceptable Goods: High-value electronics, luxury items

Communication Channels: Telegram, Jabber, Wickr

Payment Models:

• Flat rate

• Percentage of item value

• 50/50 split deals


🛠️ 6. Types of Work in Pickup: Agreements & Profits

1️⃣ 50/50 Work 🤝


• You and the service split the goods

• Example: Order a $2,000 MacBook Pro

• One goes to you, one stays with them

• They cover pickup risk; you cover CC and server costs


2️⃣ Scrapping 🏭

• You order goods, and the service scraps them for you

• Typical payout rate: 30% - 40% of item value

• Pros: No need to handle goods

• Cons: Lower profit margin


3️⃣ Shipping 📦

• Rare and usually impractical today

• Service ships items to a middleman (Middles)

• Middleman ships to you (e.g., Russia)

• Requires paying service, middleman, and shipping costs

• Total deduction: 35% of item value + shipping fees


🧭 7. Post-Pickup Options: Where to Move Goods

✅ Direct Shipment to Middlemen


• Change shipping address post-purchase

• Middlemen typically based in Europe or Asia

• Costs: $50 - $150 per package, depending on size/value


✅ Scrapping & Liquidation

• Scrap services liquidate items in gray markets

• Payouts transferred via crypto, cash drops, or escrow services

• Items converted into cash in 24 - 72 hours


🧠 8. Risk Mitigation & OpSec Best Practices

✅ Document Quality


• Use high-res scans for ID creation

• Hologram overlays and UV printing recommended


✅ Proxy Hygiene

• Rotate IPs after every session

• Avoid cross-contamination between accounts

• Residential IPs preferred for pickup addresses


✅ Communication

• Burnable identities on Telegram and Jabber

• No personal identifiers in communication

• Auto-delete chats where possible


📑 9. Operational Checklist for Pickup/Interception

✅ $1,000+ budget for initial testing

✅ Residential proxies for server and browser fingerprinting

✅ Anti-detect browsers for session isolation

✅ Fake documents matching CC holder details

✅ Pickup service agreement (clear terms)

✅ Secure communication channels

✅ Drop or middleman identified for shipping

✅ Payment logistics (crypto wallets prepared)


🔚 Conclusion

Pickup and interception tactics demand a strategic approach, technical proficiency, and well-coordinated logistics. While the entry barrier is higher than in other fraud sectors, the potential payouts make it an attractive option for disciplined operators.

Key Takeaway: Invest in infrastructure, documentation, and patience. The return will scale with precision and persistence.
