We are able to demonstrate seemingly everything that the credit card company is asking for - the reservation details, the fact that the guest accepted our terms and conditions, and timestamps for all, including IP address.However, the credit card companies are taking it one step further now. 

It is easy for people to download fake W2s, ESA paperwork, etc, with a few mouse clicks and a credit card.
