So I was going to start promoting some cams and decided to walk through the join process of the actual site of one of the cam companies I'm promoting.

I join, enter my cc info and login when I get the message:

Your credit card has a female name, so you need to call us to verify your info.

Okay, fine...fraud protection and blah-blah-blah.

I call them, obviously am able to verify all credit card and billing info and the customer service agent agrees to turn my account back on.

I go to login again today and my account has been suspended again and I need to call again.

I call again and they tell me that a "supervisor" has shut my account down because they still suspect I'm not who I say I am and I need to send them a copy of my photo ID and the credit card.

WTF??

I understand the need for aggressive fraud protection and that men sometimes use their wives cc's for porn (and the chargeback issues at hand), but Jesus Christ...

There are women on the internets and sometimes we do happen to buy porn (especially sites that are more interactive...hello) but making chicks jump through hoops in order to spend their money with you is alienating a significant portion of the credit card holding population.
