why does OC get flagged every time i use it?

Anyone know why my credit card refuses to allow me to order from Overclockers without having to go through a phone verification? It just cost me the £99 2TB deal; I'm getting sick of it, usually it means i miss next day delivery but now its getting beyond a joke.
No other online seller triggers this phone verification system.

Just did, apparently OC get a lot of orders with stolen details so they check every order.
Still ****ed off that it cost me that hdd. I did flag OC to give me call about it but they don't appear to have done so, no missed call on my phone.

I tried to order at 1am, 6 left at the time.

Thats what i normally do, phone them and tell them to allow the order...the issue was on this occasion the item was on limited sale and by the time i could phone the items were all gone. I'll just need to wait for the next sale.
