So, I placed an order for 20 pmags and a rail cover.. (@7.79/mag or whatever it was I couldn't really say no)

I get a notification from them saying I need to send my ID to them...

Hell no. Send them an email to that effect. 'You have all the information you need, process the order or cancel it'....

I then get a call from them.

Apparently they SEARCH PUBLIC RECORDS to make sure the delivery address is associated with your name, and if it's not associated with your name, it flags the order. BUT, my phone number WAS associated with my name in public records, so they were able to verbally confirm that I placed the order because the credit card matched.


So, first... Fraud detection... OK, I get it... Gotta protect the business...

But, doing a background check on a customer to find their name/address/phone number to make sure it matches? WTF?!

Anyone else weirded the fuck out about that shit?

I know, I sound like a hypocrite, because I run license plates and do deep dives on people for shits and giggles, but a company doing that shit when you order a couple magazines? Just sends a really fucking weird feeling down my spine and I don't think I'm gonna be placing any more orders with them.
