In our case fraudulent webmasters caused the majority of chargebacks by far. If you are running a program and paying a high PPS or even a high recurring % (a couple of months worth of full memberships mixed with trials etc ) you will get stung - as we did.
Chargebacks are *miniscule* for all our internal traffic.
Having said that, I have had the *good fortune* of having my sites included on a stack of password sites lately, so while I have been busy scanning those lists and removing the usernames etc I have checked out a HEAP of members areas...
Without a hint of exaggeration, every one of them has been a fuckin' disgrace!!
I mean..
- having bright flashing banner gifs above the plug-in movie viewing screens - trying to upsell something else so you can't even view the movies properly.
- having dialler popups *inside* members areas that you can't get rid of.
- not to mention the standard half a dozen picture sets, a couple of videos and some second rate movie plug-ins....being the sum total of the content.
So if I ever got conned into parting with money for any of this shit - I would seek a refund instantly.
