You have no idea. I operate a number of ecommerce sites and there is an absolute AVALANCHE of stolen credit-cards being used to buy stuff as well. I don't want to go into details on how we flag and catch most, but some of these guys are getting REALLY good.
Most of them are idiots fortunately, but some criminals are getting very sophisticated. The latest one we nearly missed for a $15,000 order because it all seemed legit, every last detail. Only my spidey sense caught it...
