The one exception to this is CC validity checks. You can generate random card numbers, expiry dates, and security codes that pass the computational checks unherent to those numbers for all credit cards. Then the CC company charges like $0.03 per lookup or something. I’ve seen it used against scammers who don’t know what they’re doing where you spam thousands of tries per second until they shut the site down.
