Turn it around. Give them all they want ... wait a bit ... and then use the strict european pivacy/protection laws against them. And no, it's not relevant whether you are an Indian or a European; the laws apply to OVH because they are a european company.
Meaning: They can ask all they want - and I do understand that a company has the right to check that customers are real and OK - but then they !must! properly protect your data - which pretty much no company really achieves because they can't.
give them what they want and how they want it and then enjoy their many services. Once you are cleared you can get a lot of things.
forget about it because what they ask (e.g. bank statements) is more than you are willing to provide. But then why this thread?
FWIW: From what I see OVH is not terrorizing you but simply doing normal fraud prevention, albeit in a somewhat tough and far-reaching way, as India seems to be considered as high risk country.
lol
WTF really so their no way to escape from the big brother
Well, if "privacy" is too important, you can opt out and not get power. That's one way to deal with it.
After being reminded OVH is Canadian, I'm hoping this was intentional
In Canada, we're plagued by fuck face scammers calling from India pretending to be Microsoft or the Canadian tax agency, etc, and wasting people's time at best, and taking thousands of dollars from old people at worst.
So depending on my mood and time available, when I get one of these scam calls (3 last week), I either tell them to fuck off and hang up, or I go along with it for a few minutes and waste some of their time and help save the next person from getting the call.
Lately, it's those really terrible email extortion emails saying they hacked your email and you need to send bitcoins or else they'll release sensitive emails.
If OVH officially said they did this on purpose, I think I'd order some service just to support them.
You can thank your scam centers for your extra bit of hassle. And no sympathy from me.
Just want to say that, I tend to always put a small piece of paper with the requester's name on the document before taking a photo and sending to them. If you send a document photo without any indication, they won't know if you stole it from somewhere else, and you won't know if they will use it somewhere else.
So, put a small piece of paper, write "only for ovh order xxyyzz" and cover part of your card and ID. Doing so could help protecting your identity from stolen.
I mean, seriously, you can get pretty much any kind of ID, bank statements, etc. by just searching for pictures online, or spend a few dollars to buy those from some guy.
It's not Canadian - they have a Canadian entity.
I also get calls from Microsoft, from Steve living in Seattle, India.
... Anyway, OP still haven't said "sir", in a single post. So can't be indian.
OVH is French. Canada has a french province known as Québec. It's where they are.
And them Indian scam calls. I keep blocking them but they change their phone # every second.

Wait, shit that doesn't parse well at all!
Signing up at OVH is normally a seamless process and I know tons of people that had no problems with it.
Apart from being from a high-risk country, there are also other indicators that could trigger an anti-fraud system. Stuff like trying to pay with a card from a different country than what you put in as your billing address, card already associated with another OVH account, etc…
I do keep a single VPS with OVH for fun. My account got approved in an instant.
But then I am a Canadian, used my CC from my home IP without VPN, so nothing got in my way.
I DO NOT CONSENT AND I REJECT MY CITIZENSHIP
See, you owe us IPv6 because of Maritime law..
Except he explicitly said he had an Indian citizenship card. But yeah, suspicious that he never said "reverted" and "needful" .
I live in Spain and oneprovider told me to do it..
you use a vpn or proxy?
"I am not shitposting, i am traveling."
Traveling is against the forum rules, and will be dealt with appropriately.
Traveling into space and time is legal, because space is no man's land and time cannot be owned by an entity.
sir, do you refer to ipv6 as the natural person or ipv6 the corporation?
GNU/IPv6 of course!
Is this VPS being detained, or am I free to go?!
after a brief parlay with the local constabulary, all packets have been dropped.
EDIT2: Sir, that means you and your natural person are free to go.
EDIT3: Sir, these premises are privately owned public property.
EDIT4: Please, just go, now. The exit node is that way ... 👉
EDIT5: Godspeed, and good luck with your budgetcoin.
This thread is now the Soverign Cest Pit.
I have thus agreed to this at face value with my signature.
I too recognize your bill of retainer.
EDIT2: ... as it is intrinsically backed by the bonded word-deed of a self-proclaimed Soverign Letizen, indubitably.
I am not recording this thread, i am just taking screenshots of my own screen, for my own personal protection, while reading a public thread, on my own public internet.
Sir. Sir. SIR! The articles of service confederation plainly state..
... that the end is nigh.
that's what they was sayin bout the sherrif
