Credit card companies run sophisticated anti-fraud operations in real time. Visa "analyzes more than 500 unique risk attributes" the moment you attempt to make a purchase with a card.
They make decisions in milliseconds on each purchase to determine whether it might be fraud. This includes looking at past purchase history to see if this transaction is unusual.[1]

This looks like you copy and pasted an ad from somewhere. Anyone who has used a credit card for a while knows their 'anti fraud' is not very sophisticated and anyone who has used a computer should know that whatever they do happens 'in milliseconds'.
I doubt that. The bank will either cancel my account long before that, or it will work.

Ah, yes, for all my 20 or 30 followers, can’t have them see a single image, and of course, the hijackers also hijack the computer those accounts are from, so the IP belongs to the same entity it always did.
