this is a business, and we are in business to make money. we are not talking about collecting from people who legitimately had a reason to charge back, but from the people who did NOT. a guy who charges back after being a member of a site for three or four months, and who you can see has visited the site regularly, should NOT be allowed to get away with it. it's fraud, and if you wanted, you could report it as a criminal act.

:uhoh: My bad. Exploit was a poor choice of words. I agree with the principle in what you are doing, I needed to say that if there is money to be made, people will find a way to capitalize on it. No shame in trying to make money, that's why we are all here :thumbsup:

Huskyhunks - it's not about making money; it's about other people taking away the money we've already made. the members who use our bandwidth and our content, and then use their bank (by lying) to remove the money they already paid us are stealing - it's that simple.

I understand the principle. But I reiterate, do you need to be right (keep the money you're due) and set yourself down a pathway that could bring you more harm and grief (and the whole industry if everyone starts doing this) or can you expend this energy into other more positive directions?

I don't see a problem with it, people think they can signup, leech content and then just say it wasn't them and get their money back.

Looks like these guys work on the same principle credit card companies and other places work, they buy "debt" then go after it.

People shouldn't get a free ride because they don't want their wife finding out they've been buying porn memberships
