Worst that can happen is you get a fraud conviction. If you're smart though you won't get caught, but most people aren't smart.

Depends on the scam

Potentially you could piss someone off who has a serious psycho-social disorder that decides to hunt you down and do mean things to you

The worst thing is that you might have to give the judge 590 bucks in bribes.

That's what I'm more afraid of. Catching a charge isn't as bad as catching the backlash of a mentally unstable individual.

you'll have wasted a fuckload of time and gotten locked out

[mashleshmash]

You'll get charged!

[RestStop]

Believe it or not, this isn't a huge priority to law enforcement, least not where I live. It took them over a year to bring up any charges on me, and they knew exactly who I was and lived etc..

Even with all the ip logs/emails etc...they still needed the physical computer to build the case, which to them another six months etc...Use a vpn/fake info and you'll probably be fine as long as it's not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Using your own computer for stuff like this and not doing a forensic wipe on it is just plain dumb. Leaving evidence for over a year, terminally stupid (pun intended).

Invest in a secondary hard drive. Swap to that for anything sketchy. Keep your main hard drive intact and without anything interesting, but having a full operating history. Keep secondary drive in an external location, preferably encrypt it.

I need to get schooled on all the evasive techniques so I can be pros like you guys haha.

I fully agree. Don't do stupid stuff online without making sure your identity is fully secured. Mask your IP address using TOR or some other form of VPN. It's not really evasive, just good common sense. Use someone else's connection. Use a different device. Something. Anything that doesn't immediately point back to you. Your own home network connection has an IP address. Your ISP knows which account was using that IP and what time/date. If you're going through a VPN, that adds another layer of protection as you now look like a different IP address, possibly even from a different country.
