Re: Slightly OT - Integrity of the CCIE candidate

Hi Tony.
Sad to hear that.
Technically you can use "verify by Visa" feature, and there is a similar
one for MasterCard. What it does is during the payment process it
redirects back to the bank to verify their online credentials. Once it
is verified the payment can be complete.
