It is probably a similar rate to what happens at a las vegas strip club. They get you drunk then ask for your credit card and put 5k on it.


They don't do that to ~25%(!!!!) of customers. You can't continuously run an above the table business involving card processors if even 1/10th of those people do a charge-back.


That 22% is a lifetime figure, not a per-occurrence figure. I've had my credit card info stolen several times, yet the fraud rate per transaction is way below 1%.
