BigFatChat Forum

BigFatChat emerged in late 2019 as a Telegram-based carding community, initially operating as a community focused on trading stolen financial data and fraudulent payment methods. The community implemented a paid verification system where sellers could purchase "Verified Status" to establish credibility and gain access to premium trading sections.

In late-2024, the operation expanded to a clearnet website, implementing sophisticated security measures including blockchain-based payment systems and Matrix messenger to enhance user anonymity. The platform maintains a mandatory escrow service for all sellers.

Current analysis indicates an active user base exceeding 50,000 members across all networks, with daily transaction volumes suggesting significant financial activity. The forum continues to operate through both Telegram channels and their clearnet presence, adapting to increased scrutiny with enhanced OPSEC practices.
