I fucking hate this shit.
Especially when the retailer does it. Like wtf dude, why do they care if its someone spending their money legitimately, or if its stolen, they get money either way. Is this some weird “we stopped fraudsters” PR campaign?
I’m wondering if the “@protonmail” or just non-Google emails they hate.
Btw: fuck Uber for that one time (about a year ago) when they blocked my account when I needed the return-ride. Wtf. Lyft worked fine for the return trip, fucking Uber lol
Highly doubt it.
I mean… I just got this email from the customer support (cropped out the personal info):
I think it is the @protonmail address from the wording of it.
But like idk what I’m supposed to do, that email is the one associated with my bank. 🤔
(I’m not gonna explain what my purchase is for or which retailer, just the fact that it is an expensive item.)
Call your bank.
You can use @pm.me instead of @protonmail.com
I think the .me top-level domain is gonna flag it even more.
I mean… could it be the address then? I mean, every incident happened with the billing address as the same address I’m living at right now. Perhaps the previous resident (like that’s at least 15 years ago before anyone else lived here) somehow got the address marked as fraudulent? Perhaps the previous resident returned stuff too frequently and got the address on some sort of blacklist?
