Cashout Vietnam - a new version of Mafia

Form high-tech, intercontinental, high-tech crime lines, specializing in credit account theft, 'washing' money and behaving according to gender-specific laws.

Casher - who specializes in illegally accessing other people's credit accounts to steal money - a new type of crime, high-tech crime, is now considered a new version of mafia names.

In the 'world' of Cashers - collectively referred to as 'Cashout', or 'underground' - they treat each other with their own rules. The profit after each mission is divided flatly, the dirty currency is 'washed' cleanly when it comes to Casher and if there is an unsuccessful person, they will be 'treated well' under the law of Cashout.

According to the investigation, most of the Casher are very young, qualified, capable of information technology and most Casher are sitting in the school chair, most of them are students, but many are still students. level 3. What is concerned and heartbreaking!

'Mafia network'

Through many days of searching, a Casher with the nickname: Killer (*) has agreed to reveal the activities of Cashout circles. First, Killer generalized me to understand: ' You can imagine it as an international mafia network! '

Realizing that I was a little shocked, after being "generalized" by Killer, the deeper I got into the story, I realized, what Killer generalized didn't seem to be wrong and didn't say too much. Only thing, Cashout does not 'scratch the road', like some mafia gangs in action movies.

With real Casher, they don't need to know each other, even if they are in the same network. However, when they need to "behave" against illegal Cashout, they have their own ways and make sure not to "behave" wrongly. That is one thing that Killer sure is.

In Cashout's network, Casher plays an organizational role, directly stealing and illegally intruding on foreigner's credit accounts. Under the Casher, there is a transit person (often called Drop), which is responsible for delivery of goods 'shipping' (online purchase). Drops are 'regional' abroad, usually Vietnamese or foreign students. After that, the goods are brought to sell, cashed out, and cashed to Vietnam for Casher after receiving the commission.

To make sure the line works safely and avoid 'consequences' when being touched by a police agency, all Cashout members only know each other through the nicknames on' Yahoo! Messenger'.

Describe in such a simple way, but in fact, the Cashout line has all the complexity. There are even 'supervisors', or 'underprivileged', so that when Drop is in front of large items, large amounts of money, then follow the rules of Cashout.

According to Killer, the law of Cashout has two ways to punish when dropping face, or according to 'international law', or according to 'forest law'. If you follow 'international law', send a trap to the FBI (if Drop in the US), denounce Drop with full evidence of credit theft. If following 'forest law', Drop is threatened, or cause injury, even 'head shot' if necessary.

' Usually choose' Forest Law 'to behave if Drop is present! - Killer said. At this time, I was really shocked and hesitantly asked: Has any Drop had 'head shot' yet?

Killer bluntly: ' I have not enough qualifications yet, mostly still use to send traps to FBI, or shipping a lot to Drop's address, of course, the bank will question and a few days later, the police will come to ask! '

In exchange for this risky job, Drops are often very high percentages, usually 50-70% of the amount of a successful shipping item. Therefore, Drop does not dare to face, if Casher directly is not a new kind of toddler into the 'profession'.

Besides, there are also a number of banks that are willing to receive money transfers for Cashers.

'Money laundering

In order for a criminal to lie in a bag that is 'clean', Casher calculates the problems for 'money laundering'. That, with some Casher is necessary, to ensure their safety and avoid police ears and eyes.

After stealing information and mastering credit accounts of certain individuals, Casher will roam on online sales websites in countries with developed e-commerce such as the US, Canada . for shipping.

When you have chosen the item you like, Casher surfed to another website to sell the item. Sometimes there is no need to transfer, but delivery directly, home and take fresh money, if there is a Drop in the Cashout line.

After that, Casher executes an order to ship and Drop executes the next part of the job to receive the item, then transfers to another owner who has registered to buy it again, taking the money. When you have received your money in percentage divided, Drop brings deposit into an intermediary account of a certain bank. Next, the bank gives back the ownership of the account to the recipient.

In Vietnam, Casher just needs to bring the ID card and equipped with some information about the sender and the password that has been Drop given to Casher before it can receive money easily.

However, with Casher 'old fox', they never use real identity cards to keep track of transactions. An implicit principle that the veteran Casher must master. Therefore, money into Casher bags is 'washed' cleanly and they are leisurely used.

Another form of 'money laundering' used by Cashers is that after appropriating a foreigner's credit account, they take that account number for online gambling on the internet.

If they lose, they will use the stolen credit account to pay. If you win, Casher will ask to transfer money to an intermediary account and then pour it straight into the pocket. This currency is also 'cleaned'. However, this is rarely used, depending on whether the Casher has gambling or not.

With such forms of organization and money laundering, Cashout is still active and believes that their illegal behavior will be hard to detect by their alibi. Even at times of danger, they can sacrifice the Drop, erase the nickname, traces on the network, then go for a while and then they will go there. Because all is virtual, only money in their pockets is real.

But the fact is different, many veteran Cashers have been caught, many Cashout groups have been destroyed by police .
