Vaping 101 age verification

[andipandi]

So you think a business should take your word for it then? Put their business at risk because you can't verify your identity. Ok...

I was talking about phone numbers, and owning a phone, not identity.....

And why the need to supply a phone number, there must be people who don't have one

My broadband vomits out of the same box as my cable TV package, but a phone line is no extra cost - so I suspect you're right, if it required extra lines/equipment the price would reflect it.

Most ISP's in the UK use Openreach infrastructure. To use it you have to pay for a phone line rental. Virgin is an example of an ISP that doesn't use Openreach.

But you made your point with reference to you not having access to anything that would be used to verify it.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I’ve bought a couple of items from Vaping 101… and then been asked to use their age verification software. I need a photo ID - so driving license, passport, Citizen card (?) OR a credit card: none of which I have. I emailed them and told them to cancel the transaction, as I couldn’t provide what they wanted, and got an arsey email back about a ‘new law’ that all vaping companies have to do this. Is that true? I haven’t seen any discussion of this ‘new law’ on here I am pissed off by this… it’s one thing to want to check people’s ages, but they should do it before they take my money surely?

It is law - its FAR from new tho ….

imagine verifying you age for some squishy rubber bottles. ffs!

Im fairly certain they dont have to age check for that tbh

Credit check isn't a proof of age though. Crazy way of trading as they are losing out on extra sales

Its not a credit check

No i didn't, I never mentioned verification, I listed things I didn't have years ago, including a phone, but i did have a paypal account, whereby I would deposit money from a building society account and wait 10 working days to be able to spend that money (online).

Sorry, I thought this thread was about age verification.

What, a thread staying on topic? Nah, unlikely mate.

@Leni you should email them and say you use the bottles to collect urine. bastards.
