Card CookieReviews 242

They want you to give them some info from your bank account. Here's the message you'll receive after you submit your order:
"Extra Verification Step
We'd like to verify that you have access to your bank account online. We ask for this to secure your order.
We placed a line with a two-digit code on your credit card statement. Please find it and complete the following line by replacing the XX:
CARDCOOKIE
XX
123-456"

Which makes no sense because credit card statements cant' receive codes! So I emailed them to ask them to approve my order. They responded:
"we can verify your account in another way. Can you please send us one of the following:
- Proof of address: a house bill (electricity, cable, etc.) that has the same address of the credit card you used to pay for your order.
- Proof of identity: some official document with your name and picture on it (driver's license, passport, etc.)
Please take a picture of the document instead of scanning it. Once we receive the documents, we will review them and verify your account.
Thank you!
Best regards,
The CardCookie Team"

I know this doesn't sound right, especially given the fact that there is no phone number to reach them! But I wanted the gift cards so much that I did as they asked. After I sent them my water bill, I heard no further. Now I"m afraid they compromised my identity!:(

I rarely warn people, but STAY AWAY from cardcookie!
