New Internet Feature Needed - Ability to Kick People Online

[fred]

I've just tried to purchase something online. So my purchase was halted after processing until I had a chat with a salesperson. In the course of the chat, they decided that they needed to call me. Upon speaking with me, they decided that I needed to send them a PHOTOCOPY of my license to complete the purchase. I would really like to be able to kick them, but they're not right in front of me - it's difficult.

The internet needs to grow to allow this to happen.

[fred]

it should be noted that this was an $83 purchase. I was not in fact buying an Audi.

sounds kinda like a rip off there, unless you are buying porn, but really why would you buy porn?

[fred]

yeah, I'm not sending them my id

and it wasn't porn

I've never had that happen and I purchase stuff online all the time. Weird.

I did get it somewhere else. It's part of the cryptic secret project alluded to in my sig.

This technology would be important for the stagnating online-dominatrix industry.

I'm very intrigued. Mildly scared that it's some doomsday plot, in which the world will apparently end the day before my birthday. Can you wrap world oblivion in a present package?

[fred]

I've actually captured some skrulls. Don't worry though, I've turned them into cows.

[kwok_talk]

Hm. Guess its time to either become a vegetarian or fork up the cash to get those Kill Krew issues on ebay as a handbook manual.

[fred]

only 3 more days .........

[fred]

you know....

All of the clues are here. You might have to read everything to put them together but there have been a few that I've dropped that made me worry that people would put it together earlier.

[acomicbookgirl]

When you say here do you mean here in this thread or here in the forum..

[fred]

the forums

[acomicbookgirl]

Are you kidding me? That's like looking through 11,362 posts more or less..

[fred]

It's only 3 more days...........

[acomicbookgirl]

Internet customer service - that's an oxymoron, in any form, usually performed by morons or intelligent people managed by morons. My experience was this - Recommendations to check online about my computer break down. That's like saying, "If the radio on your boat breaks down, just radio for help."

Basically, web based service is the rule to keep you away from customer service people that want nothing to do with the customers.

As for your problem Fred, I know exactly what that was -- a company that is a complete rank amateur when it comes to online sales. I was asked for ID once like you, AND a copy of my last credit card billing statement. I told them to go to hell. My credit card company said I made the wise choice.

Basically, it means they have had tons of identity theft problems, so their solution is to accumulate more information on people which they have so far proved they cannot prevent from landing in the hands of theives, so its best you didn't fax the ID.

So, this big secret of yours... my timing is perfect. Just in time for the unveiling.
