Stealth Bank Account?
 

I have figured out how to go Stealth on Amazon after much trial and error, but one last thing is missing ... the bank account needed for disbursement!

I already had a suspended account using my Bank of America back in 2010 and I don't want to resuse that same info on my stealth account (for obvious reasons) ... so, when it's time to disburse, what do I need to do to go stealth for a bank account?!

Can I just open up another account at a new branch and use that?

Start a DBA, once you have that you can open the bank with your DBA name. Also you can go to irs.com to get an EIN number in like 3 minutes, and use that (instead of your ssn) to open the bank account along with your DBA. But.. I don't think entities outside of the bank can see your ssn anyway.

Thanks for the advice, but if it's possible I'm looking for something a little simpler/easier

If anyone else has any other successful methods please let me know ...

Simpler than starting a DBA? I think you may be in the wrong business.

Yep. Or just open a new account with BOA. That is all that is needed for the time being.

I think I'll use this option ... but won't AMAZON quickly catch on that it's me under a different account? I mean I do have to use correct info when creating an account with a bank?

... or should I put in the correct routing & account # but then input a different name? Is there a way to "trick" Amazon's detection system?

When you are ready to to recieve a disbursment from Amazon just let me know, I will give you BOTH a Routing AND Account Number that will work like a Charm,,,,

You NEED to read Amazon Ghost,,,,BADLY

New bank account is needed - routing number being same is of no significance.

Slapped's comment aside (which is true), I would recommend you read around here and understand the bank account relevance.

Ok I will do that ... and I will go today and open up a new bank account with BOA

I know I need to read Amazon Ghost badly, but one last question, even if I reopen a new bank account with Bank of America, won't amazon still figure out its me?! or do I change my address when creating a new account?

Just use correct acct and routing info. And a made up name. They'll never know the real name.

Prepaid debit cards that can receive direct deposits are great too, but with those, you can't do mismatched names.

Good luck!!

HOW WOULD THEY?!? Think about it - you are NOT the only guy/gal/thing/it opening bank accounts at BoA...

New Theory:

Has anyone used an old bank account with stealth info..

I know we got pinned before but that was cause of IP issues/phones/cookies..

I have a reason to believe they don't check bank accounts cause the system is unable too...hard to believe though..when even passwords get u caught lol...

I hope I'm not annoying anyone as I am a new member asking a lot of questions, but here's why ...

1)?When I reopen another account at B of A I still have to input all my factual information (name/dob/address) which will be an exact match of the info I had for my suspended account back in 2010

2) so now, when it's time for disbursement let's say my real name is Mike Smith and I put in my correct routing & checking BUT instead of my real name I put the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ stealth account name (let's say it's Bridgette Lopez) ... you mean to tell me that amazon can't do a back trace of the checking account number and figure out that it's really me Mike Smith all over again?!

If so, that's great!!!!!

bumping thread

Why?

Users gave you the answer.

Use a new bank account with your new stealth name.

Or have slapped help :pound:

Thanks to all the users who helped me

... but one last clarifaction, just to make sure, so you're saying it will work if I reopen a new bank account at Bank of America for usage on Amazon using all my real information (which will be an exact match of my suspened account ie same address) as long as I use my stealth name on Amazon for disbursement?

I'll be in the clear right?

EDIT

Update ... I did a search and I think I got my answer ...

Please buy Amazon Ghost. Best investment for your Amazon's business.

i have done this many times. hsbc saving account or ing saving account accept dismatch name deposited. you use all your real information to open banks.but on amazon, you can use a stealth name to accept the disbursement from amazon.no problem at all. for example,your real name is " mike smith" ,you open a bank account with your real name, the stealth name on the amazon seller account is "susan liz"

you still can use the bank routing number and bank account number with name " susan liz " to have the sales money deposite into the bank.no problem at.

Recycle accounts.

on my stealth accounts i just put amazon as the name of the bank account owner in the disbursement details, no problems whatsoever, been going strong like 4 months
