Suggestion for new retail use-case R.3: Fraud Detection

Here is a suggestion for a new use-case in the retail section of document https://www.w3.org/TR/verifiable-claims-use-cases:

R.3 Fraud Detection
On a bright Sunday, Oskar remembers that he still needs to buy his wife a precious gift for their wedding anniversary. However, he is acutely aware that it is precisely in weekends that gangs set up fraudulent web shops that claim to sell such gifts, while in fact they only take the cash, and disappear on Mondays. So before actually purchasing a gift from the web shop of his choice, he requests the shop to provide a credential issued by the chamber of commerce, that contains proof of legitimacy. After having verified that the shop is legit, he can purchase his gift.
