Maybe suggest that they send some IT folk over to Brighton to learn how it's done? ;-)
I believe it is deliberate to make fraud a bit more difficult.

It would be really easy for me to manufacture 20k USD in charges, receive the MR, spend them, and get refunds from the merchant. They like to wait until a while after the statement has been paid.
