I guess that might be one way to work against fraud.

smart idea actually - but I hope that a female calls me at 3am when I am using my CC to watch porn

Actually....!

.... We do that already. When a customer makes a purchase on LiveCamNetwork.com (or any of our customer's websites), we do our own little scub that looks for telltale signs of fraud (telltale anyway, according to us). When we suspect a customer is trying to sneak one past us, we call the card holder to confirm the purchase.

Most people appreciate the call because we are looking out for the card holder. Not everyone, but most..

yeah I could see the potential for problems but basically I agree that it is a good idea
