No offence, but I dont wish to stretch this conversation nor speculate
on how individual banks operate. I had to bring this up publicly only
because DoAttend withheld my ticket AFTER they got the payment. Not
acceptable.  So, I'll end with _repeating_ an important point that is
being ignored - if there was any real-time verification being done my
transaction would have definitely failed, and I clarified this from my
bank and from others working in the banking industry.
