I'm no expert on chargebacks or credit card fraud. But ten times a day for a year? One kid with stolen credit cards? Is this extreme of an example possible??? Geezus. And yet this type of thing goes on and "Visa" does not do a goddamn thing about it either eh? To help us webmasters that is.

I keep telling myself that next year when Visa goes to court on that debit card case, that something GOOD will happen to help stop fraud. And that new technology will be created to help secure the "digital signature."

And this idea - granted you must keep it legal to work - of posting legit chargeback assholes on a page, well I am ALL for that. I ran a small site and never had one cc chargeback, although I would email the guys whos check payments bounced. Never did get any responses from my "thanks for nothing" emails. Jerks.

Funny thought: All those sites out there that teach you how to "Not pay for porn"....hardy har har. Its time to erect a monster site to teach them HOW to pay for porn.

Hey is there some sort of blacklist with the billing companies of guys who have chargedback in excess in the past??? Do they limit these guys on their chargebacks or what???

And I look at it this way: Have you ever sent in a "free" magazine subscription card and then received one issue in the mail, forget to pay or cancel, and then the next thing you know you're getting a fucking collection bill once a week until you pay the fuckers their $25 or whatever? I know I've done that (oops hehe) and therefore the porn surfers need to do the same thing.

If you don't pay your Playboy bill and they've sent you any issues you have not payed for yet (if they do this) I would assume they will send you a BILL, and try to collect their money.

Couldn't I just take the info on the guys who chargedback and snail mail them a formal BILL? Via US Mail? A threatening collection notice? Cause as of now I wonder if I spent a few minutes typing something out to send I could maybe recover some money.
