Taobao status isn't the scam CX is preventing with these measures, since they're not paying for it (the scammed FFPs like AAdvantage pay) (and even if there is lounge overcrowding resulting, they restrict access due to capacity similarly for both Taobaoed members and legitimate members).

These measures prevent scams on the FQTV RDM credit, not FQTS exercising of benefits.

But the measures are so ham fisted they locked down FQTS as well as FQTV.
