I told you many times, and it is in the Wiki on top, that we don't really know how the Bezos headhunters operate.

I just opened a brand new account with the new SSN to test couple of things. I did not switch my IP, although I know very well how to do it.

This account got shut down almost immediately.

I don't know the reason. So far I can blame IP only. New address, new SSN, new user, new bank account.

Easily solved.
Incognito Mode, Multiple Browsers, and Ghostery. ^

Hello everybody.
I'm going to open 4 AP accounts this week. One for me one for my wife and another two for my friends. So I have a few questions.
1. Do I have to wait a week or two after registration to send a payment from A to B?
2. Is it OK to send a large amount of money from recently regestered account? Or its better to send 50-100$ for the first month?
3. Of course I'm going to use different IPs and computers but is there any other advises you can give to people who just get in to AP?

Thank you.

Really these questions are all subjective...

Depending on your comfort level and newness (which I assume is very new) to MS, I would do whatever you feel best doing.

I don't think anyone of us on here do it the same way, and that's simply because we haven't found one exact way to keep us from being shutdown.

Personally, I have four accounts (under my own name/SSN) and I send $1k month to other family members (who I have control of their accounts) and back, etc. No issues for about 6+ months, but that doesn't mean I'm golden.

Unfortunately, there is no RIGHT answer to AP, as you may be looking for. Do what you feel comfortable doing!

Do I have a fair shot of keeping all three open?

A few months ago I opened second accounts for myself and spouse. Worked fine, so I decided to go for third accounts. Those worked at first, but then the second and third sets of accounts were soon all closed. First accounts were never closed. I've since re-opened new second accounts, which seem to be fine so far. Always have used separate emails, bank accounts, and CCs across accounts.

Based on my experience, there seems to be little risk with opening a second/third account. Worst case, it gets shutdown, with the main account left intact. And you can always try again later. YMMV, of course.

All your questions have been answered in some way or another in the last 10-15 pages....

Guess who answered them? Me. @:-)

If so... I hope they look at the description and say to themselves, "Yep. He's MS'ing."

Especially when it says, "Transfer 1 of 2" "Transfer 2 of 2" :D

Haha, when I first started this I tried to make them sound legit: "Rent" "Roommate Utilities" and that was the extent.

Now, I put nothing!

True. At this point I just worry about withdrawing it as fast as I can so they don't lock me out before I do so.
