Everything you said is true and makes sense. However, what we are dealing with here are by-design fly-by-night companies that are in existence long enough to snag a few thousand victims, and then they vanish into thin air.
There is no recourse in those cases for the victim/customer to obtain redress from the "company" that sold the bogus product: It simply doesn't exist anymore. And it's not like this is an accident: This is all part of the plan. If the so-called businesses spreading rogue anti-virus had to stay in business for more than a few weeks, they'd go broke from all the chargeback fees. The question is, who pays those chargeback fees when the company that incurred them is no more?
Exactly. I've interviewed doctors, lawyers and even people with a finance background that were mules. Not saying all of them believed they were doing the right thing, just that it's not dim bulbs involved in this.
