Payment Gateway - wants my ID
Discussion
Well this is a strange one.
I put in an online order from a firm I’ve never dealt with before.
It was a few pence more than £90. So nothing particularly odd.
Now I’ve got:
Really?
You won’t be surprised that I called them up to talk to them about it “yes, we get this all the time. In your case the Gateway Provider has told us you’ve just had goods over £3,000 sent to that address and therefore [you are dodgy]”
Funny that - because I haven’t
I rang the credit card company - they’re a big firm - “No - you should never have to provide additional ID. No, you haven’t spent £3,000 or had anybody attempting to. We’ve never heard of it before. If you don’t now get your money back promptly we will be happy to commence a dispute.”
End of story - but it smells dodgy to me that someone wants to get hold of some ID of mine on top of having my card details and address!!
Be safe out there!
