Hi all,
Specifically I've had my credit card locked down a few times due to "suspicious" behaviour (always having to ring them up to get it unlocked).
I haven't used my credit card ina few months and decided to get ahead on the Xmas shopping with a small order of DVDs and games (separated into two consignments as I wanted to make sure they could fit through a letter box without trouble) from a well known site. Total would be < £25.
So got home today with an e-mail telling me that payment was refused... and sure enough calling BOI confirmed that it was flagged as "suspicous" behaviour and so the transaction declined.... so etc etc get it unlocked / cleared and replaced the order.
I can understand the need for security but:
-This is a pretty small value order.
-I've used this site multiple times before without a problem and in previous years too (on the same CC account)!
Well sure it would be suspicious if it was a huge order on a new site that I've never used before but comeon a small value order on a site where I have a long history with???
No, I never experienced fraud or other related troubles on the CC as I'm very careful where I use my CC.
