Don’t you hate it when Stupid Companies ask for a faxed* copy of your ID to prove where you live?!
Here’s the deal – I order something online using a Visa card, I want it delivered to our house. The “Stupid Company” asks:
“We have asked that you send us verification of the address details – a copy of an official letter showing the credit card address (eg. Credit Card Statement showing the cards billing address, a rates notice showing the address or a letter from a government department etc.)”
I mean really – wtf?! This particular company sells software, so presumably they have heard of Photoshop…
IF I AM GOING TO COMMIT FRAUD, I’LL USE PHOTOSHOP!
QED: they are only pissing off their honest customers.
<..end rant>
*Faxes were last used in the late 1900′s and are such low resolution that I could use sticky tape to fraud a mailing address!
