Have you operated a website that gets lots of scammers? I've been responsible for the security on several major e-commerce web applications. Often, you have to make compromising choices, we found that the vast majority of requests over Tor were not converting, in fact I don't think a single visitor via Tor had bought a product (iirc, but I'd have to check to be certain). That combined with the number of fuzzing/strange requests from users via Tor was just too high to consider them to be meaningful traffic. We blocked Tor users outright and it resulted in no change in revenue and a more straight forward security landscape.
