Долго я что то не писал ничего. Видимо у меня кризис текста наступил.

Случилась попробовать Oracle Cloud:



Пробую создать аккаунт, добавляю карту и получаю ошибку:



Суть в том, что сейчас много кто ходит через VPN/прокси через разные ограничения.

Пишу в их онлайн-чат, почему создать аккаунт не могу:

Sally: Welcome to Oracle Chat. My name is Sally. Please allow me a few moments to research your inquiry.
File attachment upload has started.
The file oracle.png (238.31KB) was received.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: I tried register. Add my card: ************9532. Money taken, but account not created and write me error.
Sally: we find your information is not marched, please use the same status information
Vova Kuchkovskiy: which information?
Vova Kuchkovskiy: I change information. But show me error. And you not refund my 1 euro
Communication with the Oracle Service Cloud Chat service has been lost. Please wait while attempts are made to restore the connection.
Disconnection in 240 seconds.
Connection resumed.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: I change again repeat operation. But your billing show me: We're unable to process your transaction. If you continue to encounter the error, you may contact Oracle Customer Service.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: WTF?
Sally: Why do I need to provide credit or debit card information when I sign up for Oracle Cloud Free Tier?

For users in the United States, you may see temporary charges of $1 on your account statement. Users in other countries will see a similar charge in their local currency. These are verification holds that will be removed automatically, typically within 3 to 5 days.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Debit card. I am from Ukraine. When i tried register account me show error. How to fix this?
Vova Kuchkovskiy: I add my bank card: ************9532
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Your system take money, but not finish me registration, and show me We're unable to process your transaction. If you continue to encounter the error, you may contact Oracle Customer Service.
Sally: we find your IP and your billing information is not marched
Sally: advise you sign up again all use the same country's information
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Yes. I use VPN. Because in our country, without it, there’s no way through blocking sites. In us, the state blocks sites and we have to use a VPN.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: In a heap, a bunch of different sites are banned. This applies to many sites. Therefore, now a lot of users use proxies and vpn. And these are not scammers.
Sally: if your email is Russia?
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Yes. mail.ru
Vova Kuchkovskiy: This is the whole point. In Ukraine, there are no mailers for this reason. Yandex.ru mail.ru is popular in the CIS countries. Now I disconnected. My IP: 188.230.68.57
Sally: we are sorry that we could not process your order.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Done. I did it differently. Registered. Well, I will test.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Now is not the time when it was 10 years ago. Each country bans another country. And so it is everywhere. The same Iran which does not have access to bank cards.
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Bye;
Vova Kuchkovskiy: Please moderate account. I register on mail: lijacob888@yandex.ua
Vova Kuchkovskiy: We are creating your account, which may take up to 15 minutes. Check your email for further instructions.
You have been disconnected from the chat due to inactivity.

Не подошла почта и мой IP. Ну ок, сделал со своего IP и указал .ua почту.



Прошла регистрация и отправился прямиком на модерацию:



Написал в поддержку:



Отписали, что не активируют аккаунт. Ну по барабану и так не буду там ничего покупать.

Утром на следующий день мне приходит уведомление о неудачном списании 105 EUR.



Прикол в том, что такой платеж может не вернутся например. Даже если он для верификации.
По этому всегда нужно давать дебетовые карты без баланса специально под тесты.

Ответ от поддержки за списание 105 евро:



Итог. Аккаунт так и не активировали.
