Called Ebay to Verify My Stealth Account
Ok someone told me last week what data base ebay uses to verify ones details and I forgot but I wanted to let everyone know that ebay is using a national housing records data base (by address) to verify you.
Me with my stealth accounts, they can't seem to verify me and always tell me they can't find me, I tell them that is not my problem and that I've been "here" less then a year and that may be why they can't find me. They always agree, and then ask for a previous address. I then tell them I worked in Canada and just moved to that house and then they put me on hold.
So then they come back to the phone and give me the long spiel about how I can fax in my information to get verified. I tell them straight up front that I am not willing to fax in personal details of myself because I don't want my identitiy used or stolen, (if your dealing with AISIA) calling center and not the Utah American calling center then you might as well just hang up the phone cause your wasting your time.
Now last week I got two account un linked or limits removed because I spoke with a girl in the US, she was nice and didn't go out of her way to make sure my account stayed locked like most do. However on the third one I got this young kid that loves keeping accounts locked so I got know where with him.
It depends who you get.
The kid admitted to me on the phone lately ebay is getting flooded with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts and they are trying to combat it. Personally they should let people start up and not hit them until they do harm to the system. This approach to "keeping it safe" is the wrong one if I may say so.
