This is the type of place where stolen credit card numbers and details are fenced - it is really quite elaborate, structured and no doubt very profitable. Have a look around the board and see the crazy things going on in there. Read the very good story in the NY Times - it quotes the FBI saying this sort of thing is impossible to stop.

No wonder my credit card fees are so bloody high...

Also check out the story in PCWorld.
