The problem isn't the fraud, the problem is that they do not pay enough staff to deal with it which leads to legitimate accounts getting closed out and people not being able to do anything about it. Money seized, etc.

It's a constant theme with these internet companies. Oh Facebook is too big to police child predation on their platform? Am I supposed to be sorry about that? Whose fault could it be besides Facebook? They built it, the people came. Imagine running a Toys 'r' Us and telling parents that its not the store's fault that child predators loom in every corner... the notion that these business should not be held liable because of the principle that it would prevent them from scaling is an abomination on society.
