I guess what I'm saying is that Moser, Brent or whoever could argue that the customer wasn't deceived, but instead they were done a favor by improving the condition of the card.

if it comes to it, they can argue whatever they want...a spade is still a spade...or at least it should be if shown to be
re: this: "could argue that the customer wasn't deceived, but instead they were done a favor by improving the condition of the card."
"deception" and "favor" are not mutually exclusive, nor does the law say they have to be to show fraud i would imagine. in other words, if an act is fraudulent whether it is determined to be beneficial does not make it something other than fraud...that would be my layman's assumption at least.
