Interesting. I just wonder if the number of potential sales they calculate is accurate. How many people that click the link to submit the credit card info are really trying to do so?

They aren't taking into account people who randomly or mistakenly click the link on the page or those who do click it "just to see" or those that may have used fake cards.

That maybe true, but still even with a 80% for real activity, that would make for a nice income.
