Is entering fake billing info illegal?

I'm glad this was resolved. From the first post, my gut response was "It depends on why." For example, I buy company items on my personal Amazon account. I use the bosses' credit card. The billing info doesn't match "my" info, but it's perfectly legal.

And these are the types of morons making it so that we all who are rational and sane want LICENSES for anyone purchasing a firearm and then reselling. Because Emek should go to prison for this stupidity. There is a reason why.. Maybe Emek can't OWN firearms... and buying through a loophole and then trying to profit... Still criminal. Why all firearm sales should be through LICENSED dealers and NOT private sales. And private sales should be outlawed.

The information you are providing can be verified, though. You are not providing “fake” information nor are you trying to circumvent laws (I assume ).

It's also legal for me to buy my husband's birthday gift on Amazon with my credit card but have it delivered to my best friend's house so he won't see it. But it could be illegal for you to be sending things to someone with intent to harass them.

Trying to stay anonymous when using your credit card is pretty much doomed to failure.

If you want to keep your personal information private when making a purchase, you should arrange a face-to-face meeting to purchase the item and pay in cash.

Of course, if you are trying to buy a gun through anything but legal channels, your meeting will probably have to be set up with an unsavory sort, your cash will be at risk of being stolen, and you are at risk of being hurt, killed or arrested.

If i buy an ak-47 and provide your information in the billing info bit using my payment info(for privacy purposes ofcourse) and send it to your home does that cause any legal trouble?

Ofcourse later i come and get my ak47 back.

If you ship it to my home you'd have to fill out the 4473 and I would call NICS. If the FBI tells me that I can proceed with the sale then you can have the rifle.

Yup. Trying to retrieve the delivered package is complicated by the fact that the recipient is now armed with a brand new AK-47.

That is correct.

Good to have that confirmed. I am only 50/50 on my assumptions. Haha.
