Why I can't write this

CVV codes are the three- or four-digit security numbers printed on payment cards. Selling or buying them outside the cardholder's own use is carding, a form of payment fraud, and it is illegal in the US under wire fraud, access device fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1029), and identity theft statutes.

What I can help with instead
