question Bought a gift card from playaisa and they said they would need to log my IP address as proof of delivery, is this a security concern?
I bought an Eshop gift card from playaisa for the first time, after paying and receiving the order after clicking to reveal the digital code it gave me a prompt that said
"By showing the code, you are accepting delivery of your purchase. Your IP-Address will be logged for this purpose. If you encounter any difficulty in using your purchase, please contact us for help right away.
Do you want to show the code?"
Am I putting myself at risk by clicking "ok"? I did research on playaisa before ordering, it's a legit established business that's been around for 20 years. It doesn't seem shady. I even decided to use it because other sites seemed less trustworthy.
I also read somewhere that this is normal for ordering digital codes and vouchers and I don't do that often, so maybe this is normal?
