Their fraud detection is very advanced. Any new customer is simply banned after registration and before they can order anything, the customer just needs to unban themselves by going to one of two phishing data collectors ehrm I mean identity verification partners and hand over everything you need to buy a car in your name. Simple and legit.

This is what happened to me basically, I was so happy I found a cheap provider, I got locked out I didn't even know what to do to unban my account. I will keep using my old provider ...

I'm impressed other people are actually given options.
Where exactly can someone else buy a car with a copy of your ID?

A car dealership?
My credit is great (and currently locked), and is probably enough to get a car with a "$0 down" offer, although those often do require some payments at time of purchase. If you can answer the credit application questions and present ID with my name that looks good, you've created a big mess for me.

Why is every comment critical of Hetzner being downvoted?
