Use a virtual card with just a small amount of money on it to limit your liability. Won't work if you've entered a contract, but for a lot of these providers, including AWS it works.

This "one crazy trick" does nothing to limit your true liability.

If you go to a restaurant someone at your table orders 5,000 plates of mozzarella sticks, the fact that your credit card only covers $5 doesn't mean you are magically absolved from the rest of the bill.

For $100k, a debt collection firm would be more than happy to get a judgement against you. Credit card or no.
