Too many police reports - Aldow - 12-22-2022
After a certain amount of police reports for missing packages, I feel like someone will look into it eventually. Is there any way to circumvent this? Not using my actual name, fake id etc? Maybe im wrong here too but I dont exactly live in a huge city so...

Have you filed multiple police reports for missing items?
Damn, that's ballsy. At that point I usually just abandon the SE attempt.

You can sometimes circumvent filing a police report, like if the courier hasn't taken a photo of your parcel then there's no evidence that the parcel actually reached your property. Therefore, you can say that you've attempted to file a police report but the officer at your local station has stated there's no proof a crime has been committed so they can't, this has worked for me a few times but it's dependent on who you're SEing, for example Amazon are stubborn with police reports and won't proceed with your claim until you fulfill their request regardless of what you try to tell them - for a "customer-centric company" their customer service is some of the worst I've experienced.

max 1-2 police reports per year after that it becomes too suspicious, you have to change your technique
it's better to keep the police reports for items that are worth a lot
for me, a police report or a chargeback to the bank = a missed SE

I see, Ill try a similar excuse next time, but It seems more and more companies are pushing for the PR. Like you said especially amazon and walmart as well. Than again a lot of people have been raping them lately

Good rule of thumb

For the most part, a PR Is simply required for administration purposes to move forward with the claim, whereas a chargeback pertains to a declined claim.

You want to do a pr using a fake id ?

I think it's part of the research, if you know that a company is going to ask for a PR for a DNA, you'd better change your technique
also, when you make too much DNA and companies systematically make investigators to the delivery service, it can cause you problems
that's why I prefer to avoid DNA as much as possible unless you do 3 SE per year
2 little tips about the PR
- do the SE with a Visa/Mastercard gift card, you can put any name you want since there is no billing address registered, it allows you to put a fake ID for the PR, disadvantage: no chargeback possible if it doesn't work and you have to transfer the gift card funds to your personal account after the refund
- false police report, companies rarely call to check if it's a real report, but if they call and find out it's false, you're dead

My previous post Is referring to the nature of PRs & chargbacks, both of which are very different to each other.
