I've always wondered this, and please, tell me why this can't happen:
CCbill, Zombaio, Epoch, you name it, any low life 3rd party adult billing processor:
The basic model to all 3rd party credit card billers is this:
When the member clicks "join" he is taken to an outside credit card page that isn't a part of your website.
So what is preventing any of these 3rd party billers from making a simple copy of your site, and when a new member buys a membership, he is sent a link to "CCbill's version" of your site and the sale is not listed in your sales records?
Haven't you ever received an email from a member stating "I bought a membership and I can't log in?" You check "your" records and he isn't listed in your htaccess etc... but he is contacting you because he did buy a membership, but his codes don't work on "your site" but, what you don't know is they only work on the site CCbill told him to go to.
After you brush him off, because you know he is lying, he contacts CCbill or where he bought the membership from, and they "give him a link that works." You never hear back from him because you think he went away.
The adult market has crashed, not because consumers are not willing to buy, but because the skills of these low life, NON regulated credit card billing companies have learned how to easily steal sales simply by making a copy of a website.
It's so simple. A skim here and there, nothing big, just a sale or 2 a day, which ads up to millions over time from all the thousands of unsuspecting webmasters.
The best crimes are the ones done right under your nose, in small amounts.
You might think your site is only making one or 2 sales a day, when it's really making 4 or 5. Or maybe you have a big site, making 20 sales a day, when really it's making 25. But you will never now because the billers are taking the rest. Not a huge skim, but just enough so you don't feel it.
Can somebody please prove me wrong?
How easy would it be to simply copy a site and keep a small percentage of sales?
Very easy.
I never believed the adult market crashed. I believe it was simply stolen by un regulated credit card processors with the most sophisticated programs designed.
