I've never had a sale not be processed like that before, but I can see it happening these days. I typically put down 123 Fake St., (911) 911-9111 as the phone number (though now switching to 867-5309 as other commenters pointed out it gets the point across just as well without local PD having to waste time), and I try to inject as much random noise into the race/sex boxes as I can. I have heard that putting down the name of the company as your middle name helps out too, but I have not seen anything happen (maybe it works then). Does anyone else have any other ideas or tips for 'hacking' about in these systems?
- M_Grey 10y agoBit of free advice... learn an address and memorize it. Make it unrelated to your real life, and use that. It's easier because when automatic checks (or cashiers) get it, they don't say "Uhhhh... no." One address, with zip code.
- Balgair 10y agoAgain, what the OP says happened to him, has never happened to me nor anyone I have talked to. I would put this strat in the 'edge cases' category.
- M_Grey 10y agoSure, I can understand that, but my advice is still broadly useful. Increasingly the forms websites use to collect information do a spot-check on the address, or at least the zip code. It helps to have one in mind that you can quickly use, along with some dedicated webmail. If you also happen to be someone who struggles in the social arena, it's a way to avoid even the most unlikely of conflicts.
- Balgair 10y agoYou have a level of forethought that I do not share. Thanks for the tips all the same :)
