Oh I can't possibly think of a reason why someone would chargeback Alex Jones' Totally Legitimate Line of "BURN ALL YOUR FAT" products. Health & Wellness is a known high risk category.

I'm talking about Visa and MasterCard. Banks have regulations to worry about.
- pranks 8y agoI think it was Buzzfeed News or Daily Beast but they did an investigation into Alex jones products... they’re legit products
- scrollaway 8y agoI'm guessing you're referencing this? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/we-sent-alex-jones-infowars-supplements-to-a-lab-heres https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/we-sent-a... I just skimmed it, looks like a good piece of investigative work. I don't see where you're reading they're "legit products", all the article seems to say is that they're not outright dangerous. And this holds absolutely no value to payment processors, btw. Health & Wellness is a high risk category, period. I don't know why you think "but they're legit!" is even sort of relevant.
