No, it can't be charged back at any time. You'd think that, but as far as I can remember, it can't be. Epassporte's position has been in the past that if a transaction has the proper card number, address AND cvv2 number, that there's nothing they can do. They're not actually Visa.

To top it off, if they're using a stolen account as a middle, which you would assume they are, that person might not know there's anything wrong. Imagine if I transfer $5000 to your epass, then hit it for 5 $1000 transactions right away. You log in, nothing's changed. Same balance. Presumably you might not even know the transactions were done.
