So my friend used a credit card generator on a website for free trials. Is it legal?
No amateur answers please

The algorithm for generating credit card numbers was published when credit card companies first introduced credit cards. There is nothing illegal about generating credit card numbers.

However, trying purchase something by using credit card numbers that are generated is a felony.

    Of course it isn’t legal. You are entering in the information saying it is YOUR credit card. Even if you cancel and there are "no" charges the place ran the credit card to make sure it was real(also likely an age check).

    probably not legal… but for what they used it for it isn’t really wrong.
