I have just tried to order the new GRID game from CDKeys, a retailer I have used several times in the past with (almost) no problems. They put my order on hold and asked me to:
Provide them with a photo of valid ID such as a Driving License, Passport, or National ID card by taking a piece of paper and writing today's date and time, along with "CDKeys.com" on it and taking a picture of the ID and the piece of paper in a single photo and sending it to them.
Has anyone else had this? Whilst I don't think for one minute its any kind of SCAM, this seems a bit of an insecure way of verifying identity. I should say I paid via PayPal and have offered to provide them with my debit card instead as an alternative payment method and as a way to verify I am who I say I am but they have declined and said they will cancel the order.
