you know how when you open a credit card they ask you if you want any additional cards for other people? they put down any name you want, they don't need to verify the credit worthiness or ID of that person b/c it goes under your name and social since you're the primary cardholder.
here's some guy that opened up a credit card in michael jackson's name lol
