If I were doing this, I would make a clone of the legitimate site, collect their info and pay for the parking on the real site, but save the credit card number for sale on the black market. I'd imagine one could find any number of sites where this could be hosted anonymously (or slip it into a hacked site's service). If you slap QR code stickers over legitimate ones it could be months before anyone noticed.

The other commenters' idea of raising the price a little bit and pocketing the difference is more likely to last and net more money in the long run as less people would question and bother disputing a slight surcharge.
