This method can work sometimes, but it heavily depends on who you talk to and even then, you would need the perfect situation.
If you are talking to an overseas rep, they are just reading from a script and 90% of the time after they can't find you in public records they'll either put your account on hold and require verification documents, or just tell you there's nothing they can do in regards to your limits. The other 10% of the time you'll get your limits increased if you can answer some basic questions about your selling plans.
Talking to a US rep would increase the success rate of this plan, but the particular department which handles limits isn't terribly huge so if you continued to try and use this excuse over and over again I can guarantee that it will eventually stop working. And still, talking to a US rep doesn't guarantee success. I did try this many months ago with a few different test accounts and had mixed results. One rep wouldn't budge on wanting me to submit an ID even after coming up with an excuse that I don't have a license (his response was that it doesn't take too long to go out and get one and doing so would be the only way he could do anything with the account's limits).
This can be a good thing to try if you already have 0/0 limits and don't have anything to lose, but do know that if you try this with a perfectly good account, the chances of something bad happening are much greater than the good.
