Just something funny: First time I donated to archive.org my bank blocked my card due to being a "suspicious payment".
I had to physically go to the bank because due to security reasons I couldn't unblock it in internet banking.
The high security looked like this:
"Hello. You blocked my card due to suspicious payment."
"OK, what's your name"
"[name]"
"I see. Did you make that payment?"
"Yes."
"OK, I'll send an e-mail to management. It should be unblocked in a few hours. Have a nice day."
"Bye."

They didn't want to see my ID card, not even the debit card. Nor sign anything. Just and only hear my name. "Security".

    This has happened to me with my own bank sometimes, though thankfully all I have to do is call them, report the blocked payment, and answer the same useless questions that don't really prove anything security-wise, and that's it. I'm not sure why they insist on doing this song and dance, but at least I don't have to drive all the way to one of their locations to get it resolved, lol.
