You'd lose that bet. They refund the money to the original payer. For better or worse. My company loses a few hundred euros each month to this. They keep asking for proof of delivery. Yet we sell internet access. No proof in that unless I'm willing to break the law (and my client's trust) and tcpdump my clients. No way I'm doing that so I swallow the losses. No client ever filled a complain in the first place and no client ever complained about returned funds for consumed services either. :P
