Arrrgh! Can any one of you kiddies tell me what happens to the IP address if you use dial up? Sometimes to move forward you have to go back to the future.:p

You seriously still have a dial-up account? And a modem? |

It'll be different most of the time, but it could be the same from time to time. It depends on the size of the pool and the technology at your ISP.

You will eventually be caught and the involved accounts suspended. They can easily tell when you access those accounts from the same computer and IP.

All roads lead to Rome! Dialup and WiFi and 4G and even a portable hotspot over here. Sometimes the old ways are best, if long forgotten.:p Oh, and four computers coming in through different IPs. And one cell phone to rule them all, or at least be used to recieve passcodes for the hundreds of accounts.:D

Amen, ADK! Utilize the free wifi networks that surround us all day.

Too much trouble? I doubt anyone here has a static IP address with their ISP and a simple ipconfig/refresh should suffice to obtain a fresh IP address. Correct me if I am wrong?

So you could have your router renew the DHCP lease, but likely you'll get the same address back. |
If any of you guys think a company with a site as popular as Amazon is looking at individual client IP addresses, you're nuts.

I use 2 accounts, both have the same SS# on it. I just always use a proxy server whenever I log into my second account. Been doing it for many months, no issues.

I don't do anything fancy and am probably a prime target for shut down if it ever comes to it. I have 2 personal email addresses. I send money from one to the other every month, but almost never the other way. Both are under my name. So far, so good. I don't really make sure that I use different computers either. Sometimes I send it from work and retrieve it from home. Sometimes I don't. Once I even logged in, sent it, logged out, retrieved it and deposited.
Playing with fire? Probably. But I'm lazy and I'm ok with it :) |

So oddly my dad's account just working. It's not shut down, my wife's was in the past, but there is some server error. Of course I don't want to contact Amazon about it as they'll probably notice account activity and look into it further. Has this happened to anyone else? Account has legit ssn and dl#. No issues when you log in, but when one tries to send money to or from the account it gives a server error.
|
I get server errors when trying to send from a restricted account and when trying to send a restricted account money. This is an older account and before the UI change it would say the account cannot send or receive funds. Now it just shows error screen.
