Stealing credit cards numbers on the net is a crime, but it is not possible for a novice anymore. Most of the credit card transactions on net are secured so it is very difficult. Still if someone is distributing some information like this it is objectionable. But then there are sites on the net which tell you how to make bombs. It is very difficult to curb such things but posting to the authorities and some good credit card forums will certainly help educate the masses about it.

I wouldn't bother, there are thousands like that, pages and pages of credit card numbers.
Why would you want to tell the FBI you have been looking for card numbers on the net!

rest assured if you found it there are already agents at the FBI that are aware. they have analysts that do that all day, everyday..it's a shame that we even have to worry about these types of things but there will always be people looking to make a living from committing crimes.

If you restrict your on-line use to trusted sites you won't have any risks of fraud. Practice common sense security and you won't have any problems.
