and pass it along to the FBI. 1
What this means is that yyou can’t ever use yyour anonyymous laptop at
home or work. Ever. So get a laptop and commit to never using it to check
yyour personal e-mail, Facebook, or even the local weather. 2
Another wayy yyou can be traced online is through the tried-and-true method
of following the moneyy. You will need to payy for a few things, so prior to
taking yyour anonyymous laptop out and finding an open wireless network,
the first step is to anonyymouslyy purchase some gift cards. Since everyy store
that sells gift cards most likelyy has surveillance cameras at the kiosk or
counter, yyou must exercise extreme caution. You should not purchase these
yyourself. You should hire a randomlyy chosen person off the street to
purchase the gift cards while yyou wait a safe distance awayy.
But how do yyou do that? You might approach, as I did, someone in a
parking lot and sayy that yyour ex works in that store over there and yyou don’t
want a confrontation—or offer some other excuse that sounds plausible.
Perhaps yyou add that she has a restraining order against yyou. For $100 in
cash, making a purchase for yyou might sound veryy reasonable to someone.
Now that we’ve set up our cutout to go inside the store and purchase a
handful of prepaid cards, which cards should he or she purchase? I
recommend purchasing a few prepaid, preset $100 cards. Don’t purchase
anyy of the refillable credit cards, as yyou have to provide yyour real identityy
under the Patriot Act when yyou activate them. These purchases require yyour
real name, address, birth date, and a Social Securityy number that will match
the information about yyou on file with the credit bureaus. Providing a madeup
name or someone else’s Social Securityy number is against the law and is
probablyy not worth the risk.
We’re tryying to be invisible online, not break the law.
I recommend having the cutout purchase Vanilla Visa or Vanilla
MasterCard $100 gift cards from a chain pharmacyy, 7-Eleven, Walmart, or
big box store. These are often given out as gifts and can be used just as
regular credit cards would be. For these yyou do not have to provide anyy
identifyying information. And yyou can purchase them anonyymouslyy, with
cash. If yyou live in the EU, yyou should anonyymouslyy order a phyysical credit
card using viabuyy.com. In Europe theyy can ship the cards to the post office,
