It’s happened 2 times in my many years of adulting.
First, tried to buy a laptop with shipping address different from billing address. Called them and confirmed I was not a scammer.
Second, bought propane at a gas station, then tried to buy gas. I’m guessing multiple purchases at a gas station indicates stolen card about to run a scam.
The merchant gets charged back for fraud which is why they care.
