They probably can as I've (hopefully) implied in my comment. When I sign up for AWS/GCP for a bit more credits for free, I use a burner phone (if necessary), burner emails (catchall emails), and a debit card (although GCP and AWS can detect if you're using one made by privacy.com or DoNotPay... so I have to call my bank and get one every now and then).

Given this relatively bad information, it's somewhat hard to trace. But as I've said: Government surveillance is government surveillance. These petty tactics to get around AWS/GCP won't cut it. Pretty sure they'll call up my bank using the card details and get my info real fast.

Do you still give them your real name and billing address?
My AWS billing address was a largely abandoned factory, not far from Veliky Novgorod.
