    It's none of thier business about what you buy. They are just prob. going by your address vs. the address of where you bought it. I'm guessing it is overseas and they try to cover their ass when it comes to fraud prevention because you could claim fraud and they would be the one left holding the bag. They could shut down your supplier from accepting cards if you do that so don't. But again, it is none of their business what you buy and ask if the vendor you made a purchase from is on a "match list." Or a terminated merchant list. If not then ask why they are questioning it. If they don't have a legit answer then I would tell them that you could do business with another company if they want to judge your every move.
    Just my 3 cents.

    I had that happen once. I just told them yes I authorized that purchase, they said ok we where just checking since it was foreign, end of conversation. Go western union from now on. I know that the fee for sending money sucks, but it is more private.

    If you don't authorize the transaction they will not pay the order.

    they are just concerned that you didnt place the order yourself. All you have to do is say it was you. THey dont have any idea what you ordered. There is a lot of fraud over the internet. Last year someone bought $600 worth of sports clothing on my credit card over the internet.

    tell them it's was purchased by you.. it's simple, they don't really know what you bought.. just that it was outside of your normal buying history..

    they are only authorizied to make sure you are the one that placed the order, thats all, just verify the purchase,

    was the amount of money charged a larger sum then you usually spend, if so that will send up a flag

    Yeah I got some goodies from a pharm. in mexico and I live right near the border so they just called to make sure it was me who made the purchase like 15 min after I bought it, they don't know what I bought, for all they know I bought asprin and antibiotics. As long as you didn't buy from "we only sell illegal drugs.com" or something then don't worry, just use wu from now on the less paper trail the better.

    having your name directly linked by cc to is not the smartest thing, especially in this day with the heat around AS
