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'.
