A common example of this type of fraud are pornographic websites that advertise free access. Upon further inspection, however, a credit card is required "for age verification purposes only". The scammers then use your credit card information to make large charges to the credit card."
I am not saying it, wikipedia is saying it.... |
That is total bullshit. Getting a credit card verification is good business. And if anybody used a "pornographic website" to "obtain cash or to make purchases of their own"...then there would be a bank getting closed down by the feds. Because webmasters do not have the credit card number. The processing bank does. The only thing that we can do with a credit card is charge them for a membership.
Don't forget that wikipdeia is written by everybody. No matter how uneducated they may be on a subject.
