Azure mining. Debt will beat out?

Ku everyone. I recently needed Azure, which I used graying times over a year ago. Used then free subscription.
Now the other day I decided to use it again, but the joke is that the money on the account has run out and the subscription is frozen. I've climbed in the settings with them, turned on the payment as you use it.
Servers, to put it simply, dediks, have earned.
Suddenly I remembered how I tried to mine btc pennies on Amazon, where they give garbage for a year for $1. Then, of course, nothing happened to me, I didn’t think about it anymore.
Now, I got the idea that the Dediks are much better here.
A day later I had 50 servers, in different locations, and quite powerful (1000$/month each)
I immediately thought that at the end of the month (I don’t know exactly when) an invoice for payment would come. They will try to withdraw money from the card. I have a card in my name, virtual, which I do not use.

The question is: will they somehow knock on my door if I forget about these grandfathers, having mined myself an n-th amount of money? Mining on these dedics has been standing for 3 days, everything works. It is easy to guess that in a month (if it still works) they will turn off the subscription and ask you to pay a sky-high bill. What can they do with a fake name, phone number, and my card details?

Well, it all depends on the size of the company's losses. If they consider it sufficient to involve lawyers, they can go to court. Moreover, technically, you can then get not only the need to pay the debt, but also legal costs from Azure, as well as a ban on entry into the same states. And if they are too lazy, they will simply completely block the account and, possibly, in the entire ecosystem.
In general, I do not recommend

The idea is just brilliant! How to mine three kopecks (not three btc-kopecks, namely three kopecks at the rate of the Russian ruble) and at the same time get blacklisted by the entire Microsoft. Don't forget that Azure is part of Microsoft. Of course, M$ has a representative office in the Russian Federation, but it seems to me that the indicated test case should occur so often that they should already have a whole procedure worked out - what to do in such cases.
There are quite a few nuances here
- do you have legal M$ products
- did you pay with your card, in your name. The bank that issued the card also matters.
- how well they worked out the scheme of how to pinch the tail of such a "wise guy"
- whether they went from their IP or from a VPN
M$ will raise its logs, go through the telemetry - and you will be surprised how much it knows about you! :) It's not a fact that the case will go to court, but lifelong "special treatment" from M$ is easy to earn :)
