    its either !!!!!!, dating or illegal

    Which is why I asked about the card itself. I didn't want to get into the details.

    Anonymous dating!? That does sound dodgy!

    Money laundering was my thought, accessing filth is quite vanilla by comparison :eek:

    Say I wanted to watch American Football. And I had to pay someone to stream it to me. This is a grey area legally I believe. But if they ever got caught, I would want to distance myself from them... Its not as exiting as you think.

    Why not just buy the service from an authorized source? Why bother ?

    Besides money laundering millions while selling drugs to kids and your secret affair which you are keeping from your partner sounds much more interesting!
    Happiness, Health and Wealth in that order please!:A

    Well I don't want to get into this debate, but the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that a temporary copy of work, copywritten or not, is not breaking copyright. So in fact, streaming is not actually breaking the law. For now...

    This is money saving expert, and I asked about prepaid cards. Thats all!

    The only way to be completely anonymous is to use Bitcoins.
  • My FIL buys the kids one4all cards from the Post Office as gift cards for christmas/birthdays and these are for all intents and purposes prepaid credit cards. AM not sure how much you can load on them though, but this is what you are thinking of. Quick google shows £400 max upload amount onine, not sure whether more in person at the PO

    Be warned though, the balance check NEVER (not on mobile devices at least) works so keep a tally as you are spending

    Sounds a lot like this. If so, there has been a successful prosecution highlighted in the press recently.
