I spent 6 hours trying to get a client's payment portal to accept my invoice because their system kept flagging my business name as 'suspicious'.

It turns out their automated filter thought 'Green Creative' sounded like a fake company name, and I had to get on a call with their accounting department to prove I'm a real person, which honestly felt more like an interrogation than a business chat.

Ever hear about my buddy whose company is called "Best Day Ever"? Tbh their payment got blocked for weeks cause the system thought it was a scam. They made him send photos of his office door with the name on it.

Had that "prove it's real" photo thing happen, got it fixed by calling the bank directly.

Nah that's actually fair tho, systems gotta catch the real scams somehow. Even @michael_wright90 had to call his bank, so it's not just weird names. Better safe than sorry lol.
