hmm no, my bank is fine, Amazon customer service told me they won't accept my card, that was the only option, but excuse me, how is 100-200$ gift card is money laundering?

  Buying gift cards with stolen credit cards is like fraud/money laundering 101. The amount is not really a differentiator either because a lot of carders will run smaller test transactions to see if the card is still active.

I work in fraud detection in the US and the number of people that end up making their legit purchases look like fraud is way too high.

  > I work in fraud detection in the US and the number of people that end up making their legit purchases look like fraud is way too high. I don't think you meant it. But that is blaming the victim A bit uncool One of the main features of capitalism is you can dispose of your property as you like.

    Oh but the victim is usually the problem. PEBKAC is a thing. If you use a VPN, fake name, and aliased email to place an order online you can't really complain when the company cancels your order for looking suspicious. Seems to me you subscribe to the "customer is always right" mentality and if you knew anything about working in a customer facing fashion you would know just how wrong that mentality is.

  ah, and that is our problem now? If I like to use my browser with uBlock, buying a gift card on a sunday 4am right, sharing data from my phone, different city and with my new laptop, it is still your problem for not letting it go through.
