Well it turns out my bank did block LL because of a high incidence of fraud when processing the charge. Great, just wonderful, now I have to call every month to get the flag removed in order to pay my tier. I've been paying with this card since Feb 2004 and all of a sudden this month LL gets such a bad reputation that my little tiny credit union has blocked them from charging.

Yay! LL!

I wonder if this is the real reason for verification being hurried* through? Has a number of fraudulent activates taken place already. Not that I expect LL to answer, but maybe Reuters will follow this up.

*As hurried as LL can hurry any new development through :-)

*snort* If it was, we wouldn't have a 'voluntary' verification system being brought online.. Yeah, that's gonna stop the fraudulent activities :p

This is pure CYA on their part, which is normal mode of operations for most companies..

LL have yet to fully define the impact of voluntary. It could be that you will no longer be able to take L$ out of SL unless you are verified.

I fully agree that it is a CYA policy and I do not blame LL for taking such a stance.
