Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

I bought a new computer and a new phone and I plan to use the phone as a hotspot with the new computer to connect to Amazon. The location is my home that has internet and a computer which were flagged by Amazon.
I have any reason to be worried or as long as I connect with the hotspot I'm safe?

Well.....if you are going to use the phone as a hotspot then your home won't be an issue....Also, did you buy a new PC just to get a new account?

Took my brother's PC so in a sense, it's a "new" computer.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

Just create new user account and different browser ….no new pc :)

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

that's really a bad idea. new user account won't work.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

Always get a new computer - I've tried reformatting the computer and Amazon still detects it's the same PC.... not worth the trouble.

A VM is better than a new computer imo. And can be set up or taken down in minutes

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

as long as you got a new computer, and new hospot, you should be good to go.

Make sure your new computer does not accidentally auto connect to the house wifi which may be a bad IP etc.

"Always", sorry but that's not entirely the best way to go. VMWare is the easiest method without having to spend money on a PC.

And if you a real cheap method, a $30 tablet could do the job.

I have been using VMWare for quite awhile, easiest and best method imo.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

I also have been using VMware with 24vc for over 2 years and I've never had an issue.

And how many acc?

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

Do you know what amazon look for when they close down linked accounts? For example name, address? Phone number? I need to make a new account and I’ve got everything new apart from my address but I am going to ‘adapt’ my address slightly sonits still my address maybe just spelt slightly different... any help much appreciated.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

Reformatting a computer should wipe that PC clean and Amazon shouldn't be able to tag you. There must be something else that's automatic that you aren't aware of running.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

You did not need to do all that. You only had to create a new user account on your computer and use a different IP, that was it. I have had many stealth accounts on the same computer, while it was flagged at eBay, I would guess it is pretty much the same with amazon.
Next time, do not buy a new computer or even a new phone for this, simply make a new computer user account, and change the IP when you log on. In regards to the phone you could just buy a new pre paid SIM card and use that, then you also have a new phone no to attach your new account.

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

It does for me, been doing it for years now. But also attaching a new IP.

User accounts is not enough for Amazon

Your fingerprint will be nearly identical on a different user account

You need separate laptops/tablets or create unique virtual machines

Re: Connecting from my "flagged" home
 

Your safest and most convienent method would be doing a unique Virtual machine with a new unused IP, I recommend 24VC or IPBurger.

He need IL IP, hard to get by a VPN.
