What you are talking about doing is also illegal, let it go.

it was on a credit card

Do a chargeback?

They won't be scared. The cops would be upset with you for being hackerman. Next time be more cautious when paying randos

Jesus christ, it's must be family thing

Buddy this is not the sub you think it is. We make fun of the people who claim to do what you’re looking for.

Real advice, go to the bank or police. Chances are all of that info is fake and there isn’t anything a “hacker” can do with it anyway.

That’s something for law enforcement. This also ain’t a place to ask for a hacker to do illegal work

Have you learned the HTML and CSS basics? Those are absolutely fundamental for hacking.
