The scam is successful as the report goes because what the scammers charge is not much, just $9.84 or £5.95 depending on where you are. They know that credit card owners tend to not notice the entry and if they do, would not bother with it, because it's a small amount afterall. Clearly whomever thought of this is brilliant. I hazard he's got an A+ in Social Engineering.
If you do get a bogus entry that says something along the line of website/online investment, you know you've been had. Debit card holders? You're part of the circle too.
I wonder if the guy who came out with this idea had the same experience as Hugh Jackman during his interview in Swordfish.
