@Metalistas: we are talking about paypal accounts here.
@Warren1001: quite obviously, except they:
- track all the IP addresses you use
- find who you are by using cookies and re-checking your identity
- track your name, address
- track your bank account and credit cards
- track the website domains you use
The major problem is in IP tracking, mostly due to the fact I'm not on dynamic IPs and changing IPs can take a while. Most anonymous surfing proxy providers do not give their service when on secure (HTTPS) connections for free. Even if they did, it would be quite a stupid idea to do this. So just about a week ago I started writing down my IPs so that I know when I can make my next move safely.
Cookies are easy to get rid of (incognito is enough, as well as manually clearing them) - the problem is - you forget once, and you're doomed. Name, address, etc. well I can just use a different person, although it's pretty annoying having to go to a relative explaining all this shit on why I need their data. Hell, my mom even asked me if she would be inserted into a global WWW blacklist for it
- As for website domains, that's not too problematic as I can use gmail (not as professional as using @median-xl, but still).
Also the thing is, they ban you after ~4 days or so. So it's not like I can do 10 tests per day. There is a lot of waiting involved until I can make a proper stealth account.
@RollsRoyce: it's not. I've done some research and it's way more common than I thought. The worst part is, they don't give you a reason when they ban you. Neither do they give a second chance. And they freeze your funds for 6 months which is fucked up, though since I was never able to cash out any money from paypal, it luckily doesn't affect me at all.
