We highlighted in our Brazil underground report how rampant credit card fraud is in Latin America. One key step in this process is card verification - i.e., checking that the cards work. We've found a new service called CheckerCC that was meant to help make this easier. This is the first time that this capability has been offered “as a service” in Brazil, with access sold for a monthly R$100 fee (approximately 25 US dollars). The person behind this service is believed to be a teenager from São Paulo, Brazil.
