Payment Verification Procedure
1. What is Payment Verification Procedure?
Payment Verification Procedure is a routine payment confirmation for a standard anti-fraud check, to ensure the benefit of both the cardholder and the merchant. The Purpose of this procedure is to confirm that the payment was indeed made or authorized by the cardholder.
2. And Why I am being asked to confirm the payment?
Sometimes, unfortunately, fraudsters gain access to credit card details or PayPal accounts , and try to use the stolen details to pay for purchase online. When you pay for the purchase, the payment from your credit /debit card or PayPal account is processed by a third party instead of Geekbuying directly. Therefore we have no access to any of your financial details or your credit card details.
This is why we have to confirm whether the payment was authorized by the payment account holder or not. To protect everyone against unauthorized online payments, we have to complete these payment verifications with our customers randomly.
3. What should I do to complete this Payment Verification Procedure?
An email for payment verification confirmation will be sent to your Geekbuying account by our payment verification team. You need to reply and follow the instruction on the email:
PROOF THAT YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO PAID THE ORDER
Or
PROOF THAT THE CARD HOLDER MADE/AUTHORIZED THE PAYMENT, if the order was paid by someone else.
4. What proof should I send to complete the procedure?
