Purchased a $2 USD game (machiavillain) from gamesload.com just now and the took my paypal payment but locked my order and I received this by email. TLDR NO, I am not scanning and providing government identification - which opens me up to the very real threat of identity theft on a grand and international scale- to a business in France for a $2 USD
I'd like to request that you remove their sales from your site until such time as they can conduct business safely for all. Maybe they mean well, maybe they don't. I can't afford to take the chance.
