My wild guess: Is everyone now just using apps for every single little thing? So now using the mobile site is considered “fraud behavior” and using apps is “normal”? Like is this what their “fraud detection system” do now?

Like the same card works when you order it at the counter in store… why did the site reject it? it literally worked before on that same site…

Tries a bunch of different cards, also declines…

But those same cards do work on other sites…

Like…

I feel like when you

  1. Use their app
    and
  2. Create an account

you’re less likely to face problems…

But using mobile website + guest checkout is very likely to get flagged for some stupid reason…

      Same here. So many websites are now virtually unusable. It doesn’t seem to happen with Chinese sites, though.

      • Nah, Chinese sites would try to auto-download the .apk file 10 times lmfao

        I was just trying to use Baidu Street Views for childhood nostalgia… fuck off with the apps lmfao

        They also require a phone number attached to a government ID to register an account 😭
