The ads for Falcon in Australia show a geeky nerd reporting to his supervisor that he noticed a fraudulent transaction, reversed it, cancelled the card account and shipped a new one to the customer.

Yeah, I'd imagine the customer would be ecstatic to know that their card no longer worked, and it would take the best part of a week to receive a new one.....
