What I don' get is how he thinks his bank is going accept all those chargeback requests. How on earth does he imagine this will go down?
I've had people who know him in real life contact me. He's apparently legit insane, so I have no clue what's going on through his head. He's been getting banned on these forums since 04/25/14.

You know it wouldn't be a bad gambit to steal people's CC info and then spend money on your own website. It's stealing and laundering accomplished in one move.

It's a great idea until your chargebacks hit 1% and now no payment processor will work with you because the credit companies demand you be put on some credit monitoring system.

He hasn't done any chargebacks yet, and I believe he's actually crossed the point where he will be able to do any chargebacks, since right now he's renting out servers across the world so he can go through them and register new accounts.

They live in two different countries and it's typically hard to sue someone who lives in a place that is not the place you live. Especially over E-Crime.

you can read the "important fraud facts" on authorize.net if/when you set up an account.

makes sense to know a little bit about it if you want to run a business that relies on credit card processing for income

or have an accountant/lawyer at your disposal to handle things for you

Lowtax should be thankful he didn't ship out a 5,000 dollar piece of gear that he has to kiss good bye to now, like happened to a buddy of mine.

As far as online scams go this is pretty mickey mouse.

Weird how he got them to do chargebacks on a weekend though, usually they won't process that until the next business day.

Lowtax stole my credit card number and my sanity.

Also I thought the forums rules had some clause in there about banning you over any reason, like something where it specifically said "we can ban you for any reason we want". I was kinda hoping a lawyer would have to read that out loud in a literal court room but I don't see it in the forums rules now. :shrug:

i'm pretty sure this is fraud in the same way as going into a shop naked, putting on the clothes for sale and walking past the security guy at the door without paying. by which i mean, it's unlikely it would be worth paying for a lawyer for this when the banks just going to go "yeah nah"
