when someone steals or clones a credit card, they do not go out and max the card on porn sites. they buy goods that can be fenced.

a $1K computer purchased fraudulently is the equivalent of of 50 $20 porn memberships purchased fraudulently.

we recently lost $25K CDN on one single fraud case a few weeks ago. not a single transaction involved online porn.

I believe you! This is what Moneris told me 3 years ago when I lost the ability to use my merchant account :-(
Maybe 3 years ago porn fraud was at its peak..
