What are some typical scams people run to get credit card numbers, and how effective are they?

Typical scams people use to get credit card numbers include phishing emails, hacking computer systems, pre-loaded gift cards, and credit card number generators. Phishing emails are sent in the hopes of tricking the recipient into entering their card numbers, typically onto a fake webpage. Hacking involves gaining access to a person's or organization's systems to steal the information. Pre-loaded gift cards have the card number on them and can be sold on the black market. Finally, credit card number generators can generate valid numbers. Although this is rare, it does happen and can be done either manually or via automated processes. Generally, scammers use these methods to varying degrees of success. Phishing emails, for example, can lead to a high success rate, while gift cards are typically less effective.
