Description

Obtaining currency or higher-value merchandise via the application using stolen, previously validated payment cards or other account login credentials. Cashing Out sometimes may be undertaken in conjunction with product return fraud. For financial transactions, this is usually a transfer of funds to a mule’s account. For payment cards, this activity may occur following OAT-001 Carding of bulk stolen data, or OAT-010 Card Cracking, and the goods are dropped at a reshipper's address. The refunding of payments via non-financial applications (e.g. tax refunds, claims payment) is also included in Cashing Out.

Obtaining other information of value from the application is instead OAT-011 Scraping.
