I just don't know sometimes.

I ordered something online (I do a bit, and I track the card like a hawk).

I fill out the form details, then I get an email saying they couldn't match my card to my address.

So I replied to the email with the exact same details and they passed the order for me.

I wouldn't mind so much but this isn't the first time this has happend with various companies. You only have sound confident and you could walk off with thier stuff or someone elses.

I mean there was another site I ordered stuff off, and I forgot my password so I rang them up. Want to know what they asked me to give me a new password? Nothing! My name at the most (I shut my account down with them shortly afterwards).

[please note, I am intentionally not mentioning the companies]

sounds a bit like ryanair.com

Was away for a few days and flew with them.

All the checkin girls needed in way of proof of your entitlement to the tickets was a printout with your ticket reference number or something. No proof of id was needed, just a coffee stained printout.

*shudder*

and then paying for parking in dublin airport when we got back you could pay by credit card. Just stick it into the machine and it debits your a/c. No signature. No proof od address. Nothing. Just a credit card to debit.

*shudder*
