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

    The merchant gets charged back for fraud which is why they care.

    Question: So, I once got an email from a company’s customer service and they said to use Paypal instead of the card. Is Paypal safer for the merchant if it turns out that the buyer is a fraudster?

        It seem like if the actual card owner find out that a fraudster used their card via paypal, they have two chances at a chargeback, once through paypal, and another with their bank. So I’m no sure why I was told to use Paypal… clueless CS representative? 🤷‍♂️
