- mikro2nd 5y agoReally? I've been dealing with Gandi for something like 20 years and have never before now heard of anything like this, nor experienced it. Some evidence, please.
- denton-scratch 5y agoI also rate Gandi. I'm also surprised to hear of shenanigans. But the GP's story is about identity verification; I don't see that as a particularly egregious "shenanigan".
- ohyeshedid 5y agoCan't speak to that specific complaint, but Gandi has had other issues in the past.[0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822
- ryanlol 5y agoThere’s no excuse to ask for an ID scan to “verify identity” when you can buy a really really good quality automatically generated fake id scan for $5. Would maybe be defensible if they asked for actually verifiable information, like a dump of the cryptographically signed contents of your chipped passport (haha).
- mikro2nd 5y agoTo repeat: I've never been asked to provide anything of the sort to Gandi.
