Theory On Suspended Amazon Payments Account




I thought a little bit more about my suspended Amazon Payments account.

Together between accounts A and B there were about 12 prepaid cards used.

Recap:

The players:

A, B, C, and D

A -> D

A -> C

C -> B

B -> A

B & C are my siblings with the same last name

This was our last few transactions in this order prior to shutdown to accounts A and B:

  • B -> A sent $500 (credit)
  • A -> D used the $500 (from credit)
  • B -> A several times failed attempts with a prepaid card then sent out $500 (credit)
  • A -> D attempted $500, but failed
  • A -> D sent $500 (credit from B)
  • A -> C sent $500 (credit)
  • C -> B sent $1000, $500 stayed in the account and the credit card was charged $1,000
  • B account locked
  • A -> used some money (didn’t want to, somehow it was credited to it) on Woot, account became locked

 

This is my theory: My account had sent and received more than the allotted $1,000 per month from a credit card source because immediately after the B shutdown, A was shutdown. I don’t think the failed attempts helped the cause either, but I’m pretty sure Amazon’s were able to detect that loophole. I was pretty about that because I was planning to leverage sending $2,000 a month to D via B -> A -> D and then A -> D.

  • I’ve had several shut downs and I “think” what triggers problems is not allowing one business day elapse btw receiving, withdrawing and sending. Had 8 accounts at one time, now down to 4 – all the problems seem to have occurred when I’d send $ from one account and then withdraw it, or send to another account same day. Now I transfer one day, withdraw the $ from the receiving account the next and then on the third day, send from that account back to the original sending account, and on the forth day, withdraw (so day 1 A->B, day 2 withdraw to checking account from B, day 3 B->A, day 4 withdraw to checking from A).

    Did you happen to do multiple types of transactions in one day? EG, receive, then send same day from same account?

      • Paul, good idea to look – I checked.

        This happened in the same day for $500 each:

        A -> C
        B -> A

  • B & C are your siblings. So, A & D are both under your SSN? You can’t have multiple accounts anymore with AP, they shut them down fast.

  • Did any of the payments come from and to computers on the same IP address? Even separate computers sharing wi-fi with the same IP?
