what to do when airline warned me about numerous throw-away ticketing? ($95 vs $497)

I live in city A and work in city B. A and B are about 230 miles apart.

The lowest one-way fare from A to B is usually around $497. (FOUR-HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN)
The lowest one-way fare from A to B to Newark is $95.

There is only one airline serving A to B.

So, for that last several month(since I started working in city B), I've been
buying tickets for flights from A to Newark. I always get off in city B and
drive home. On the return leg, I usually take Amtrak, which only charges
$60, but takes several hours for the same route.

I do this every week, so the savings are very BIG.

My mistake is that I did enter my frequent flyer airline for that airline and
they caught my little trick. They sent me a letter warning me that it's
against airline rules.

If I continue to do this without entering my frequent flyer info, will I get
in trouble again?
