To ensure we can keep our handling charges as low as possible, as well as preventing fraudulent and illegal activity, we use sophisticated systems to review each transaction. This sometimes results in a 'Phone Verification' request.
You will be required to verify your phone number by clicking the "Call Me" or "Text Me" button and enter the code received.
This helps us confirm your identity and secure your account.
