So if you wanted to disappear...

How would you do it?


And I mean vanish... Like, your parent's wouldn't know where you are. And not just a spring break kind of vanishing where they don't know you're in Panama City... I mean GONE.
 
cuba? hitch a ride with some smugglers making the return trip, bring bodyguard/translator till you learn spanish.

then buy a bar on the beach and lay low. grow a beard.
 
I think you'd need a bit more than a mere 100k.

For starters, clean out all your bank accounts and close them. Not sure whether it'd be a better idea to sell your home, or simply abandon it. An apartment would be easier, just break your lease and leave a phony forwarding address.

Naturally, you'd have to leave the area you resided in.

You also could not use any VISA/MC cards, they can be traced. Cash only.

To truly disappear, I think you'd have to hack some government computers to delete your file, DMV records, SSN records, tax information, etc.

Some plastic surgery might also be a good idea, at the very least, hairstyle and dress changes.
 
your all wrong...if you sell your ****** and empty your accounts, people will know you meant to vanish...

1) the 100k is in cash...
2) get a car
a. pay some nobody cash for their vehicle, tag included, no questions asked
b. print a fake checkbook and get a fake id that maches...buy a car with a check and only loose the cost of the checks/ID...afterall, you are going to dissapear, who cares about bouncing checks?
3) hop in the car and start driving. dont pick a place, just go, try not to go somewhere people would think you might be (IE: i desire to be in japan, people know this, so i wouldnt go.)
4) once you arrive somwhere, ditch the car and repeat step 2.
5) dont use a computer at all if you can. if you must, never use anything you did before (email, forums, AIM, etc.)
6) leave the states...you most likely will not be able to cross the border with fake ID, and using your real ID would put you back on the map...so the best way would be the opposite of what illegal immgrants do...
7) this should have been earlier, but dont tell anyone or give anyone a single hint..
8) you must now gain citizenship of the newly entered country...i would suggest picking up an accent close to what you look like. (IE: i am tall, big, extremely white...so i would talk/act irish/german)
9) hopefully upon gaining citizenship, you will have created yourself a new identity...now you are no longer your old self
10) start a new life...or start over again!

style changes would be helpful, i dont think cosmetic surgery is a must...besides, there would be record of you having it. Why not just put a big scar on your face, grow beard (if you dont have one), grow hair out...etc... the 100k can be used to buy yourself things such as a new identity and citizen ship...everyone has their price...poverty stricken countries have a low price 🙂
 
Move and not tell anyone any details except that I'm leaving and I don't want to be found. Cut all contact with people by any means that would leave a trail.

Doesn't have to be more difficult than that.
 
It'd be easy. Just move to some random city, rent a room from someone who doesn't feel like donig a credit check, pay cash, do whatever. If you lived in Tulsa and jsut randomly moved to Long Beach, or Panama City, or anywhere else, why would anyone think to look for you there?

I hear Aruba is satisfying customers in this regard. 😉

a reference back to the kidnapping of that one girl a while back?
 
Pay the mods $10 to change your forum name, get a weekly rate hotel and order a ton of pizza....oh yeah, some beer too.

100k isn't really enough....

but for starters you would need to acquire a new identity and social security number...

then apply for immigration to another country... like New Zealand.... using your new SS#.

The trick is not letting anyone know about the second identity... and most importantly leave no paper trail.

actually however you want to carry your 100k is going to be illegal. you are only allowed to cross into mexico, or another country 10k and they usually have cash sniffing dogs in order to catch people with more money, maybe some sort of bearer''s bonds or somehow setup a checking account overseas before you try and leave town.

also countries like belize let you be a citizen if you purchase a certain amount of land...no questions asked.........alot of strange people live in belize(not brasil, belize it's at the foot of mexico near yucatan).

Thats why you have to do a legal migration. The only illegal part would be acquiring your second identity. You do your immigration with this identity... you can simply open a bank account in your new ID, and withdraw/deposit.

depends on where you go. you could probably live like a king in certain countries off 100k
