That software is for detecting a different kind -- exactly the opposite kind to what happened here -- of fraud.

I thought he mentioned that he had worked for "Robin" for two years? And he never says he was paid with a different credit card for the first eighteen months, does he? So as I read it he does indeed tell us about the fraudulent payments he did get to pocket: Those for those first eighteen months. It's just that the legitimate credit card holder couldn't issue a chargeback for those, so there's nothing for Upwork to try and claw back from him there.
