Hmmmm...while I have always and will always accept that in many cases crap sites and the inability to easily cancel will cause higher chargebacks (please note this is a generic statement only and not aimed at topbucks) people either miss or just like to ignore the obvious.

Per signup programs (especially those with high payouts) attract CC fraud. Some cheats will go flat out with 100% stolen CC info until closed whereas others mix it up in with real sales. However the fact remains they attract fraud and often one of the only ways to find it is to look for higher CB's on an account.

However, given the sales figures quoted here and the fact that refunds are taken into account too it really does look like some accounts were closed without being looked at properly SR being just one. Unfortunately TB are not the first to do that and get it wrong.

Again - crap sites et al will also cause them however, few partnership programs seem to be suffering from the high CB problem but then they also don't attract people who make BS signups with stolen cards. Looks like TB are trying to thin those out and hitting far too many honest people on the way.

Glad I'm not the only one with a huge drop in ratios with them lately
