There are three key steps to disappearing. First, destroy old information about yourself. Call your video store<\/a> or electricity company and replace your old, correct phone number with a new, invented one. Introduce spelling mistakes into your utility bills. Create a PO Box<\/a> for your mail. Don\u2019t use your credit cards<\/a> and the like.
\nThen, create bogus information to fool private investigators<\/a> who might be looking for you. Go to one city and apply for an apartment. Rent a car in another one.
\nThe next, final step is the most important one. Move from point A to point B. Create a dummy company to pay your bills. Only use prepaid mobile phones<\/a> and change them every month. It is nearly impossible to find out where you are unless you make a mistake.
\nThis is the general rule, but some cases are trickier than others. No problem if you are self-employed, but let\u2019s say you\u2019re a bus driver<\/a> or a teacher. Then your wages will go on your name. I once had to move a lawyer<\/a> who was threatened by a former client. Lawyers need a licence. She became a legal<\/a> consultant.
