Would anyone ever actually fall for this?

"Well I've clicked the button now, might as well put my card info in I guess!"

Exactly! It's a lose-lose situation. Even if you misclick, then you'll realize you've been conned.

happened to me once on some website, "one click buy," I learned the hard way how serious they were about that. Don't need to enter your card information when you've already set your phone up with permissions to access your bank account in one click. DANGER!
