As others pointed out a lot of us did that kind of stuff. I signed up for AOL at least a hundred times using fake credit card and bank account numbers. After that I picked a random person out of the phone book and signed up for a local ISP that mailed the bill, no credit card required. That worked for something like 6 months before they cancelled the account.
You have to remember how expensive this stuff was in the 80's and 90's, how low risk this type of fraud was, and how us teens didn't really think about it. ISPs billed by the hour, something a teen could not afford.
