In regards to this order, we will need a signed authorization from the credit card
holder before being able to activate this account.
Please copy the credit card holder's license (front and back) and the credit card
used (front and back) and fax to 1-(615)-301-0265 (fax) or email to

This doesn't mean that the signup was fraudulent, it just means that there is a higher then normal chance that this signup is fraudulent.
Our email requests a copy of a government ID and the credit card front and back as well as a signed note from the credit card owner authorizing the charges to ensure that the person who owns the credit card knows about the signup and is ok with it.
1) your order was given a high fraud score.
2) the bank you claimed issued your credit card is named after you
3) you filled false information into the box for the phone number on the back of the credit card.
Generally, i only need to enter my credit card number and three security code, but linode need to enter other information like as the phone number. maybe i mistyped the phone number.

I'd request that you withold judgement until you are an "actual" customer and have a chance to reall experience what linode is like. The world of Credit cards is very messed up and the potential for CC fraud is quite high. You can't fault Mike, Chris, or anyone else for doing their due diligence to protect themselves and you from credit card fraud.
@zhaoke:
Please do not so quick to judge i am from credit card fraud. i only want to say linode have bad sales support service.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood me - I was not inferring that you were intentionally trying to commit CC fraud. I highly doubt that's the case.
@zhaoke:
Mikegrb, right, is a very very bad support
