Fake Information When Purchasing Upgrade? - 'Palladium - May 17, 2015
Am I allowed to enter fake information when purchasing the L33T upgrade? This is because I don't want my private information out there, it might get leaked or something and I really don't want this happening.

Quote:Can I pay with a stolen credit card or with fake information?
No you may not. Any payments with fake information will result in your account being closed at HF. Every payment is manually inspected to check for fraud. We expect real phone numbers, addresses, and a matching IP location for the billing address. If you don't want to provide this data, then don't upgrade.

Thanks but I don't understand why Omni/HF wants our private information? Besides fraud, why can't he manually inspect our account if it's legit or not? Instead of having our info.

Time consuming. It's more easier to just submit the information so he can identify any scammers. Checking every account upgraded would take awhile.
I believe paying through BTC is instant though.

I'm not him, so I can't speak on behalf on him.

It's just used in his verification process.

I did as well. But I'm curious to know how being an "idiot" can determine whether or not your information will be leaked? You have no control over what happens to HF lol

If you chargeback an upgrade your information is permenatly posted in your signature.
Also I'm pretty sure coinpayments.com and HF and not affiliated. So if HF database gets leaked nothing is leaked. If Coinpayments get leaked, well shit.

Then I'd suggest you not to upgrade, but it's safe trust me.

Alright guys, thanks for all of the answers and what not.
A mentor or staff member please close this thread.

Nope. Provide the legit information and avoid getting suspected as fraud. That might lead to closure of your account, permanently.
And be reminded, you won't be getting your money back either.
