Could these steps lead to a ban on Amazon?

#1 03-08-2011

I am still puzzled as to why I was banned on Amazon. Could these be some of the reasons as to why I was banned?

1. I used an address that doesn't exist at all (Will Amazon know if the address doesn't exist?)

2. Amazon called me 2-5 min after I created my account, and I didn't pick up. I actually didn't know it was amazon until around 5-10hrs later after doing research. (Could this be the reason, if so does anyone know what questions amazon ask when they call you, i hear it is rare, but does happen)

3. The GV number that I used was located in a different town than the information I gave Amazon, but only around 20-25miles away (maybe this is why hmmm)

4. I tethered with an android phone, so I didn't change/spoof the MAC address, due to phones having its own MAC ADDRESS, someone here told me that you still have to change/spoof the MAC address even if you tether. (Can anyone confirm this?)

2 - Yes they call you and give you a pin code to type back into the Amazon sign up screen.

4 - Can not confirm this but a MAC address needs to be spoofed or the account will get linked.

Ninja, you need to realize that Amazon is using much more advanced detection tools that can link your accounts. In this case, it must have something to do with the MAC address. you look like you bought the guide. You should have read throughly.

I answered when they called about the pin, completed that step...... Around 5min later, they called again, but I didn't pick up. Next time I will just do the opposite of what I have listed above, and see what happens.
