Any truth to this statement? I think Simon is an amazing service, but am I sabotaging my chances of being suspended by using a Simon giftaccount to secure my Ebay/PP accounts? | Quite frankly how do they know anything other than if it is a visa or MC?
Just like a VIN on a car, do certain digits stand for something and one (or group of digits) stand for the issuer?
Here is another question regarding CCs.
I have a checking account that I keep less than 100 dollars in. I have a debit card (MC) for it. What would be to stop me from reporting that card stolen, have it cancelled and a new one issued? I am assuming that that number would have to change, right? In the eyes of EB it would be a new card, not the old card linked to the suspended account. Could I also use that card (or even the companion checking account that it draws its funds from) to set up a PP account?
The only thing that I wouldn't do is to use any of my real info to set up the EB account.
If I already have a verified PP account can I set up this second one with all of my legit information (name and address) or do they limit one account per person?
Can I give my name and my office address to PP if the work address is different than the one on the account? This seems like a may be an easy fix for me?
Opinions please?
