Oh my god. Oracle having my address and credit card number is a nightmare scenario.
- walrus01 5y agoI wonder what happens if you sign up with a fake name, semi-disposable email address and a prepaid visa gift card that has $3.50 remaining balance on it.

- phonebanshee 5y agoAfaik AWS and GCP refuse visa gift cards, although it's been a while since I tried. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Oracle is the same.
- imalerba 5y agoSigned up with Revolut disposable cards, will see
- eitland 5y agoSome might think this is a joke, but the IT manager at one place I worked was almost fooled into thinking he had to pay licenses for our MariaDB databases running on AWS after Oracle had got his name from a web form. This is a different company than the other one I mentioned elsewhere where we resold Oracle and they still tried to extort us.
- eitland 5y agoLate, but I should mention he is a seriously bright guy, Oracle just is that good at scaring people.
- ineedasername 5y agoI figure that info is out there in the wild in the hands of criminals after countless data breaches. And I'm less worried about those criminals having my data than Oracle. I think they only see the world in two colors: 1) Current customers 2) people to sue. And lots of #1 are in the second category as well.
