What. The. Actual. Fuck.

#OneProvider requires "verifying" my credit card details by sending them a photo of myself holding my ID, and a photo of me holding the credit card in question.

Are they out of their minds? No, honestly, what have they been smoking and where can I get some!

.....I've been seeing phishing attempts asking for that same setup. 'guess this is where they got it from.

@munin that's pretty much what I told them in an e-mail.

Very tempted to take a photo of a random guy from Teh Intertubes, GIMP my CC into it, GIMP my modified ID into it, and send that. Because obviously they will have no way of verifying that the document in the photo is genuine.

That would be fraud, I guess, so I won't. But ffs, talking about counter-productive.

/me is now looking for a different provider
