I must admit, reading that post made me feel exactly like how I felt 
when going through validation myself a few months ago.

I gave them every single information they wanted, even offered them to 
call the phone for me to pick it up - they flat out refused and asked 
for more information. They preferred sending mail to an address that I 
allegedly owned over calling the number associated with my phone bill. 
They get away with this because they and their customers can justify it 
by saying they're a CA but the reality is the whole system is very 
inconsistent and doesn't really make me want to put my trust into the 
organization.

The whole thing looks like it's run off somebody's mother's basement. 
They're really cheap for what they offer, and the cost is appropriate 
for the level of service as well ( very bad ).
