Is this even possible?
 

Hello all!

Due to the nature of the products that I sell, I would prefer not to use my real name, so thank goodness for stealth accounts! I'm almost all set up! (The aspkin guide was wonderful!)

I met a gal online who sells similar products and wants to conceal her identity for the same reasons. She said that she has 4 or 5 stealth Paypal accounts that she uses to collect her payments, then she transfers all of those payments into her real account, and uses her Paypal debit card to withdraw the cash. Evidently, she's been doing this for 6 years. She does not follow the aspkin method though; she buys Visa GCs from Walmart, activates them under her real name, but when she adds them to Paypal, she puts in her stealth names. She insists it's never been a problem with the address verification. She uses stealth names/addresses/phone #s on her Paypal accounts, but all of her Visa GCs are registered to her real self. Is this possible? Doesn't Paypal "lock down" the surname field when you add a credit card so you can't change it?

Also, for something like this to work, would she have to keep a balance in her real (or stealth) accounts for them not to suspect anything? Her stealth accounts don't fund anything else except her real account.

Is she pulling my chain or can this be done successfully? Because if it's real, I'm ordering a Paypal debit card under my real account immediately. :)

Any advice would be great!
