2) Affiliates creating their own fake join page with some backend crap that passes the info through to my site using either an iframe or something more advanced.

3) Some new technology that I am not aware of, browser anonymizer or something.

4) Cookie stuffing
Chargebacks doesn't always appear immediately - it can pass a month before user of card discover how he got his card stolen.And one more trick - if used things like TOR or anything else what hides real ip,it usually leaves traces.Google for each ip and see does it shows any results about it.It is quite common for having same ip to be used for spam and fraud and other shady things.
