What about sold accounts? I can see some filing out tis form to get back a sold account.
Note, in the form the OP showed us,it says "Under Penalty of Perjury under the laws of (Nation of your Residence)"
This means, that if you get caught lying, you will be prosecuted for Perjury. Last I heard, this isn't exactly a joke, and when you go to a Notary of the Public, and lie, there are serious penalties for doing so.

In the United States, committing Perjury can land one in Prison for up to Five Years, as it says in Wiki:
Quote:
The rules for perjury also apply when a person has made a statement under penalty of perjury, even if the person has not been sworn or affirmed as a witness before an appropriate official. An example of this is the United States' income tax return, which, by law, must be signed as true and correct under penalty of perjury (see 26 U.S.C. § 6065). Federal tax law provides criminal penalties of up to three years in prison for violation of the tax return perjury statute. See 26 U.S.C. § 7206(1).
Note, in SE's form from the above OP's link, it says "Under Penalty Of Perjury".
So, in short, DON'T LIE ON THESE FORMS. If you get caught, you will be in deep sh*t.
