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

      No, I always use the Chrome browser and on the real IP for anything money related like banks or purchases. I use a “normal” phone OS (meaning: no custom roms), so that can’t be the reason either.

      How long before a cell carrier re-issue an IP address. I know if you use mobile data, you get a new IP very often, like if you turn data off and back on, you get a new IP address. So… Maybe that, every time my purchase was marked as fraud, it could be that I just got assigned an IP that was just used by a fraudster before?
