They list their card for a high BIN price - with "set break" in the title - and it sells. Now, the seller thinks they've stumbled across some nugget of wisdom. They share the "secret" with their circle of friends and it spreads like herpes.

At this point, the whole thing is becoming a self-inflicted misinformation campaign.
Agree 100%
