Unless you turn off java script and flash, but then that in itself looks suspicious. From what I understand, it has to do with drawing different objects out of the bounds of the screen, and other java script magic that determines every last bit of info about your browser, and a pretty in depth rundown of your pc setup. Fingerprinting, it's called. It's quite easy to completely mask yourself, and remove any sort of fingerprint, but as far as places like Amazon/PayPal are concerned, no fingerprint is the worst fingerprint you can have. PayPal does this 100% for sure, and since Amazon is even pickier than PayPal, I am going to assume they definitely do as well.
I know this because I have to change my IP address, along with everything mentioned above, and more, in between fraudulent actions under different accounts in order to have any success. I forget to change o ne single god damn thing - bam :nono: "sorry we cannot complete your payment, go **** yourself."
Defrauding paypal is as hard and complicated as it is satisfying. I don't know how websites like paypal actually go about detecting everything, but I know much of it is java script and flash related. Companies like PayPal and Amazon pour millions of dollars into anti-fraud systems. As well they should. I take ever last penny I can from those *******s, and I will continue to do so until I no longer can. Amazon is just a nightmare, they lock more legitimate accounts than any other eCommerce site for sure. |
