Reverb suspended my account after I ordered a guitar pedal with my credit card. It was a very, very weird thing I've never experienced before. The only way I could re-instate it was to send them my government ID via email. I did not because of the litany of hacks to email systems at companies that compromise user privacy. Such an asinine escalation. I like Reverb but now caution anyone curious about buying anything from them.

Some years ago a company claimed I had signed a contract with them and I owed them money. I told them that no, and that they had to prove I had a contract. They sent me a copy with a badly forged signature and claimed it was me personally who signed it. I laughed at them and told them they could go fuck themselves. They demanded I send them a copy of my ID, I ignored them until they hired a lawyer and opened a file. Upon a request of a judge, I sent a copy of my ID, they closed the case, and the company burned through several hundred euros for nothing. What a sack of dicks.
