Paying my web hosting at host-gator an my bank card was declined. I drive to the bank an ask why..
Bank; Its because they are in Texas an we block Texas because fraud happens in Texas.
Me; But I have been doing business there for years. What about Google, why is Google blocked, its in California.
Bank;Yes, California is blocked too. Lots of fraud there. Ebay is blocked. Its for your protection.
Me; Thanks for protecting me from having a need for a bank account. Almost everything online comes out of Texas an California.
Bank; You can call us when you want to buy something an we can unblock it for you an then block it again. You are responsible for any fraudulent charges though.
Me: Like I'm not now? Let me get this strait, you want me to call you an tell you before I can buy stuff online.
Bank; Yes.
Me; Or I can go find a new bank.
Bank; You can get a credit card.
Me; I don't believe in them.
Bank; You should they are safer an offer protection.
Me; ......
