Yeh GB, well I opend it up and then went into the branch to put some money in to it so that I can get a VCC. While I was there I thought I ask, cant hurt. The lady told me no it will come up as fraud. But like Vic said she either lied or doesnt know and made up an answer on the spot.

I'll link it any ways with a slightly altered name with PP and see what happens, if for what ever reason I cant get to my money I'll let everyone know.

HSBC were knocking mis-matching names earlier in the year particularly in the UK

Ahh so its best to use my real name with the HSBC account then, but change everything else.

Since that worked, you don't need to buy anything. Next time you need an IP, change the last 2 pairs in your Router MAC.

Example:
00:00:00:00:11:22 change to 00:00:00:00:33:44

The values are in HEX which is base-16. digits and letters A-F are valid.
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 ... 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20 ...

I just tried mate, but cant seem to login any more the user name that I used yesterday was "virgin" and password was "password" and that how I got in yesterday. For some strange reason it wont let me log in today.

Yes, that has been my experience with HSBC for my UK personna. Still no problems to this very day.

Maybe I've just gotten lucky.

So it seems you are using equipment provided by THEM. Borrow or buy a normal router. I recommend Linksys if you can get one. Then unplug the ethernet from your PC, put the PC end into the WAN port of the router, run a line from port 1 of the router to your PC. Then try getting online. If it works, change the MAC of the linksys. You can hide behind that. But to change IP, you'll still have to do that from the Virgin provided equipment...

I've never used the same address twice. And I've never had an account get suspended more than once from any address I've used.

Maybe I'm just lucky in a trivial sorta way.

Unrelated and never had multiple suspensions on the one account.

I didn't say repeat suspensions on the SAME account. I meant that recycling an address for separate accounts will lead to you repeatedly losing several accounts.

Acct A = 123 Main.
Acct B = 123 Main. (get's linked to A and both suspended)
Acct C = 123 Main. (C gets nuked)
Acct D = 123 Main. (They start thinking the whole alphabet will turn out to be dumb*sses...)

You gotta change everything when you create a new acct. Never reuse any info you have EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER ^ ~ used anytime anywhere previously. Unless getting spanked is your hobby.

I was suspended once at this address and all other accounts survived.

Suspended at another address and all other accounts survived.

Name and address is not an issue, everything else is.

If you start providing false addresses that don't appear on any database then you're gonna get flagged.
