About newly registered Linode account Pending Activation and credit card and ID card activation verification

Snail has been using Linode VPS for 2-3 years. I also paid with a credit card and purchased for several friends (including opening separate independent accounts). However, I did not encounter the need to upload ID cards or credit card scans. Verification email for the document (could it be that he has a better character). Today, a friend asked me if he needed to review his account when purchasing a new Linode VPS. He received a "Linode Order Status" email with the following content.

In regards to this order, we will need a signed authorization from the credit cardholder before being able to activate this account.

Please copy the credit card holder\\’s photo ID (front and back) and the credit cardused (front and back) and use our secure submission form. Your unique link is located below:

There is an address for uploading scanned copies here, I will omit it

Alternatively, feel free to fax them to 1-609-380-7200 (fax) or email to[email protected] Please complete this within 48 hours, or this signup will becancelled and the charges voided.

The meaning is very clear. After we register a new Linode account, the status of the account is Pending Activation. It needs to be reviewed before we can use the amount we recharged to purchase products. From my experience, it must be random or some kind of mechanism. I decided because I have used a few myself and purchased them for netizens, but I have never encountered them.

We need to scan the front and back of your ID card and credit card, and then send it via email [email protected] or fax. Of course, you can also submit it online directly to the address in the email. Generally we can just submit an email reply directly.

Note: We indicate the pinyin next to the name on the ID card (the pinyin is on the front of our credit card). Of course, when we register an account, it must be consistent with our own name, so that it will be easier to pass the review. But to ensure the safety of our credit card, use the PS tool to block out the last three digits of the CVV code on our credit card.

We just have to wait after submitting. If you are in a hurry, you can reply to another email saying that you need to use it urgently and hope it can be reviewed quickly.
