Actually, didn't you have to add the song to your cart before you were told if it was unavailable? The store-cash option was something different which someone may have been inclined to purchase before even checking if all the titles they wanted were available. In the end, it doesn't really matter what the site may have said to begin with. They were listing tracks in their database which hadn't even been released. Why assume "best intentions" of an outfit that has already gone a sketchy route? Usually, the worst intentions end up being the truth which is why I don't think suspicions of credit card fraud are farfetched.


No what you are saying is not farfetched, but it wouldn't be farfetched if the company was based in the US, or the UK, or any other country in the world. Using a credit card on the internet is dangerous full stop. Luckily cards have good fraud coverage these days!
Yet, recently, a number of card harvesting operations, through a number of tricks, have been coming out of Russia all supposedly connected to organized crime. Hence, I don't see where any allegations were "anti-Russian." I honestly don't know the laws surrounding fraud in Russia and how well their police are able to enforce them. I already know it happens in the US as I've gotten hit on multiple cards with charges from "FunCo" for shit I haven't bought. As far as I know, all they have is a legit CBI account or something similar. Anyone with a little bit of time on their hands can do web design.
