Suspisous - seems like a bait to steal your ID info
I signed up to purchase game gift cards, but after the purchase I received an email asking me to verify my identity by taking a selfie with my passport and the card I used to pay for my purchase, which does not make any sense. I do not have to give such sensitive information to any website in order to buy anything. They said that I can use PayPal to pay wihout going through this ID verification phase, but if I use PayPal they can not guarantee that the system will not ask me for the same ID verification. Therefore I discarded PayPal as a payment option. The same email said that the only way to avoid the required ID verification is to use a 3DS verified debit/credit card to pay. I did so. I bought 8 euro gift card with my 3DS verified debit card, but I had to wait several hours for security check before I actually receive the gift card I paid for. Next day, I tried to purchase a 66 euro gift card, I paid using the same debit card I used before, the purchase went also into a security check, then after about 20 minutes I received an email telling me that my purchase was rejected, and I have to do the required verification process in order to purchase the gift card. Honestly, they refunded the payment of the rejected order. But the entire service looks like a bait to steal your photo and identity information. I will never use this website again.
