Anyone with any sense would not use their actual credit card, maybe use a pre-paid card or something. But, anytime someone writes, in your face, we are taking your money, and you call it a scam, i find that kind of unfair.

I assume you are referring to the site mentioned by the person who started this thread?

In which case, bear in mind that the site is now very different to how it looked when this thread was started. Perhaps the owner of the flog /farticle site got a letter from the FTC about compliance, perhaps their url was widely published, or whatever - who knows.
But the way it looks now is not how it looked before. If you want to see some screenshots of how it looked before there are screenshots of it and other similar fake news sites at the following blogs:
