      I’m surprised more people don’t create fake accounts with fake identities?

      Be Goliath Giantman who lives in tinytown, Nebraska. Use the address of a Dominos.

      Then Go one step farther. Make a social media profile. Post AI photos of Goliath’s family and dog. Assign him the job you wish you had. Sign him up for ancestry .com and create the family tree you want.

        I wonder how much effort would be needed for going further?

        Create the AI family pictures. You’ll need a bunch of different ones. Profile pics, some bar picks. Throw a wedding in there. And some completely random situations.
        Can you make a person, and them propt it to always use the same result for different pictures?

        Make a resume. You’ll want different jobs in the past probably. Maybe they moved around.

        The ancestry idea is brilliant.

          Make up a dramatic backstory and post vague updates.

          “My daughter’s quinceañera was last week. No photos, after ‘the incident’. Can’t believe it happened again 😭”

            Where? And wouldn’t it be some expensive plans, as you’d be roaming in a different country?

                Do you have any recommendations? Most things I’ve seen are tailored to “you’re physically here for a couple weeks” or expensive global plans.

          There’s ways to bypass it. I’ve bought a virtual number.

          And if you search for “How to create an account without a phone number” on whatever platform you’re using, you might find a backdoor.

          pretty much everyone has at least a couple of old or throwaway numbers tho?
          use one of those.
          i have lik 5 numbers from 2 different countries rn

          also you don’t need a phone number for a google account? (i hav like 10 accounts i switch between in addition to my primary one with all the billing info, google cloud and stuff)
