Magic Jack is VOIP Many services, banks, brokerage, etc. will not text or call a VOIP number. More are joining the no VOIP every Month.

More & more banks and services are requiring 2 step verification. Some will email, but some will only text. Some that only text need a US number. Many banks can tell if your number is a VIOP number and will not call or text to that number. Capitol One is an example. We have a TMobile account for $3.00 a month that will receive texts in Mexico. Paid $40 for the sim. Texts to Mx cost 25 cents.

Ok you are right on that point. The OP said they were trying to make a purchase, so I assumed they had logged in as normal. If they were replying to a message, Whatsapp, or email then your scenario could be the case. Way to find out is clear cookies, then try to log to the ML website in using incognito mode on the web browser and see what happens.....

Mercadolibre is far from a scam. They have a market cap of 63 billion dollars on the NASDAQ . They are verifying various accounts to make sure they are secure.... Those procedures are for your own protection....Similar procedures are required to initiate a bank app in Mexico. Needed to take a photo of my passport for a US account recently as well.

Be glad you live lakeside and not in GDL

Federal law requires that you report money of over $10,000US when entering the USA, by land, marine, or air. It is a reporting requirement. Failure to do so can cause forfeiture of the money if you are caught. "Money" means monetary instruments and includes U.S. or foreign coins currently in circulation, currency, travelers' checks in any form, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form. The same $10,000US applies when entering Mexico. The report does not trigger any tax. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/kbyg/money
