if i would do things like that, i would probably try to get a proxy in a far far away country that does not log and where i can have a vpn tunnel to it. so my real ip adress is nowhere on the server of the proxy and i would be anonymous. (if it's highly illegal, u should use a chain of proxies through the whole world (at least 3-4)).
but try to get sth like that, it's not that easy i think.
no idea what else, never scammed in my life and i don't really feel like i want to.
