So today I got my second order put under review (even though the same payment method was used). But unlike the first time, I was also asked to provide pictures of the front of my driving license and credit card, as well as the back of them both. Is this legit and/or safe? I only ask because no vendor has ever asked me to do this before, it just seems odd

If someone messaged you that wasn’t the gameflip staff asking for that information DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.

Yes, but the email was from gameflip, it was the same thread of emails used  
in the last order. It’s just that pics of a credit card for verification is  
a bit strange, never seen it before
