pp limiting a few accounts

[welshdan]

sensible info James.

[Callidus]

Fair point, but it is advised and common knowledge for people to be running tens of accounts, especially if you're running a business.

Things like this should then not effect you massively and you can wait the 180 days instead of needing to call on your one and only account.

A person in a situation like this will need to decide what is worse. Potentially losing the monies by ringing in or accepting their fate and waiting 180 days.

A person with 5,10,20,100 accounts will not need to risk the call, simply move on to another account and wait 180 days.

So far we know it can go one of 3 ways.
1)Account restoration
2)Stays limited, wait 180 days.
3)They ask for more documents like passport, NI number.

Spreading sales though out accounts is key really at the moment.

This is the best advice for now for sure, stay under that limit until more info comes to light

AND stop posting advice when you are not aware of what is going on.


Too much pointless info never helps/

[welshdan]

is anyone monitoring what is happening, looking for patterns? or is it sit back, wait and see?

I would be happy to share specifics of my accounts with senior members of the forum if this helps to build up a pattern of what is happening/going on

Anyone in their right mind would be experimenting already...

Testing is on going.

We already have a pretty large pile of data that is showing us certain patterns. To early to really say anything for sure though.

If they using 3rd party run account check,it most likely to be a credit history check. Eg. if your stealth detailed person aged like over 25+ or 30+ it hard to believe there is no credit history on this person.I believe in UK 80% of people over 25+ or 30+ will have at least 1x genuine bank issued credit card?if they checked this name and it has 0 credit history,then it will looks very unreal..

Just my guess.Perhaps in future we should choose stealth age at a younger one.

Please keep guessing to a minimum. It just gets in the way of finding a usable solution

Remember, for every genuine guy making stealth accounts, just trying to make an honest buck, there are probably about 20 cretins who scam cheat and steal from them.

If I was paypal I would want rid of every stealth account for this reason.
