Isn't this a great way to motivate users to respond by setting up throw-away accounts, with disposable forwarding emails and Privacy.com-generated credit card numbers? True, this is a multi-step process, but it also seems like something which could be automated.
- lnsru 4y agoI was told by experienced web developer to do exactly this: every time I need something for Google I must create new address and new identity. If something goes wrong only project related identity gets destroyed and I can access other accounts.
- kube-system 4y agoThere are often a variety of ways that duplicate accounts are detected, device ID, ip addresses, phone numbers, fingerprints, physical addresses, etc. IIRC google requires a non-voip phone, so you’ll need a burner phone too if you want to go that route.
- Kranar 4y agoMy experience with those generated CC numbers has been poor. A lot of sites somehow recognize them and reject them.
- ugjka 4y agoI don't know if I'm having a false memory but it think someone some time ago commented here on a similar topic that they got banned on Google for using a virtual card
- 0x457 4y agoFirst digits of the credit card tells you what card it is and who is the issuer. Detecting privacy.com is just a matter of knowing their ranges. They also themselves will prevent you from using those cards to break ToS if they can detect it (i.e. multiple sign-ups for known service).

- drdo 4y agoThis is normal in Portugal. I can generate single-use cards with an arbitrary limit, limit cards that can be used any number of times, and cards with a monthly renewing limit. This works for literally any bank in Portugal via an app called MBWay.
- vntok 4y agoFrance, virtually any major bank really: LCL, Boursorama, Societe Generale, etc.
- rescbr 4y agoBrazil, at least Itaú does this.
- Brystephor 4y agoVirtual cards are often associated with fraud or malicious actions and may be rejected entirely. Generating cards probably can be done programmatically, but so can recognizing and blocking those cards.
