"I'm going to update your record to reflect that I have advised you. You see, sir, so many people have been doing this that they're starting to crack down on people buying these tickets in South Africa."

Anyone else hear anything about this?
Amex does not verify the billing country on their CC transactions.

In my experience they do not even check the address!
