Tried using a fake name on a shopping site to dodge data collection, got locked out of my order

Put in a pseudonym for a one-time purchase from a random clothing store, and they flagged my account for fraud and canceled the shipment, so now I just use my real info but check every privacy setting before I checkout.

Haha yeah that tracks. I used "Clark Kent" once for a pizza delivery and the driver showed up asking if I was hiding a secret identity. Never got my pizza either weirdly enough.

Read a privacy site that said fake names often trigger fraud alerts.
