Delta blocked me from buying a flight in my own name with my own credit card. Support agent said their system suspected my account was compromised and they need me to upload my ID to prove it's me. Of course the review process will take an indeterminate period of time.

The only reason I can imagine this happening is because I use a VPN.

Had many instances of this, tho not with airlines (yet). Online merchants of all types have been locking my accounts and declining transactions because I use a VPN and hardened browsers.

It’s funny how they penalize you for protecting your data privacy when their track record is so awesome at doing that. https://image.nostr.build/2192c916e66e710c22500ae0c1a0eeab60f49c8079a441f44a184f78763da7a1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e04788f5cabb93d853797957c3cdb821f564c11d8b9413ba1ed9d067e...

Had a similar issue with a bank. Sent a few transfers (to buy bitcoin funny enough). Next thing I know everything frozen. I call the bank, they can't do anything until I speak to fraud department, where they ask me a thousand questions about myself, past transactions and the recent transactions sent...

Have had the same thing happen and yes, suspect it’s vpn related.

Almost certainly. I ordered some clothing on Moosejaw recently then got an email later telling me my order was rejected. After talking with a customer rep I was told the most likely reason was my VPN.
