False positives are indeed a major problem with bigtech. Just got into the situation myself when I was traveling to France and wanted to order some food with Deliveroo. Their antifraud systems banned me without any option to prove my legitimacy. Needless to say I just normally wanted to order something to eat, and I later used Uber Eats without any problems. Permanent ban without procedure to correct antifraud false positive (most likely due to my bank card issued outside of France).

Also, worth mentioning that I was banned after I have contacted the support because my orders were being rejected (this was my initial problem and the reason I contacted the support). It was the support team who banned me. This is a problem of its own: legitimate users should not be discouraged to contact the support.
