You give them your card Number .They can run them using AI through a Laptop find out your PUC then clone your card .Normally they use CCTV at drinklinks to get card number then Run it through a Programme to get the PUC then clone the card .Now they need to check it works .A lot of cards now ask you to verify transactions by phone .
That does not make a lot of sense, no mention of Paysafe, and no one in their right mind is giving anyone their card number ??

They need a number to pay you ..They have stuff set up .And they buy stuff of their own site by using your card and PUC .When the order is confirmed by your bank they cancel .Now they know they have matched your card and PUC .Most card transactions now ask you to verify it on your phone if it is a debit transaction .Their all scamming Cunts .
That still is making no sense to me, what's the Paysafe thing all about ?

Me neither but I haven't been following the thread to be honest. Doc noted that getting our phone numbers seemed to be key to whatever the scam is a good while back so just don't give them your phone number and don't do any of their work without cash up front... which you won't get 'cos they're most likely not even in the country when they contact you through the apps.

The job I got through Free Now was through an account that had already been highlighted on here so you'd have to wonder why Free Now didn't close the account, they must have known about it given that I knew about it. Maybe someone in the depot is in on the scam?

John thinks it's your card that gets skimmed,The guy in the video says they somehow wangle the Paysafe card number off you and then they possibly cancel the job?

Either way why would you give either numbers away without being 100% sure you weren't being scammed.

Beats me.

I don't understand this scam either but I was reminded of this Apple Gift card scam from America.  Apparently, it's a huge problem over there.

Massive Apple Gift Card Scam Costs Buyers Millions Of Dollars

Quote
A massive scam involving stolen gift cards has cost everyday buyers hundreds of millions of dollars. Criminals managed to drain the funds from physical gift cards sold in retail stores across the USA before unsuspecting customers even had a chance to use them. This highly organized criminal operation resulted in nearly twenty arrests and the recovery of millions of dollars in stolen electronic devices.

The scam started in local retail outlets. Thieves would take gift cards off the shelves, carefully open the packaging, and write down the PINs. They would then place the seemingly untouched cards back on the store displays. As soon as a customer bought one of these cards and loaded it with money, the thieves received an alert and instantly drained the balance.

The criminals then used this stolen money to buy hardware from Apple. They focused their purchasing efforts in New Hampshire because the state does not charge sales tax. This allowed the group to maximize the amount of gear it could buy with the stolen funds. The purchased items, which included iPhones and MacBooks, were shipped to a local warehouse.  From there, the devices were repackaged and sold to gray market importers located in China, Dubai, and South America. The true scale of the operation is staggering. During one raid alone, authorities discovered four thousand iPhones sitting in a warehouse with an estimated value between eight and nine million dollars.

So maybe this Ireland-based scammer has a paysafecard and a PIN but needs to check if it's legit before he goes wild using it?

In which case you'd be better served using Instant Gramme or Tick Tock than our site.
