Question about charging a CC with just the info

[Futher]

I recently sold something to someone overseas, and they wish to pay with a credit card, but they don't want to do it online. They would give me their credit card information, and I would then transfer the money to my account. Is there any way to do this? And if not, would you mind linking some machines or methods that would allow this?

sounds scary, how do you know it isn't a stolen CC# ?

be careful

Overseas as in China, or overseas as in Canada?

ROFL dood, you're getting ripped off. I would cancel this deal right now. How stupid can you be? Why do people even bother to sell to people over seas? You do know that majority of the CC fraud takes place from other countries, right? Like Russia, Asia, etc etc. I would steer clear away from that guy.

I would stop the transaction if you can. Do not ship your item out. DO NOT SHIP YOUR ITEM OUT.

Right now, I'm guessing that whatever you sold was expensive, probably electronics, probably computer related. Worth over $500 perhaps?

This is a common scam. You charge their card, ship the item, then the CC company calls you and tells you the card was reported stolen, and they're taking the money back.

DO NOT SHIP YOUR ITEM OUT!

Yeah, it was a joke.

a) there is no way to do this if you don't have a credit card processing account.
b) even if you did, a chargeback is estimated at 99.99%.
c) law enforcement will not help you when you lose your item, in fact they will laugh at you and tell you to get lost.
