Some people here at MR have said that they give you a warning notice, and occasionally block your account until you supply them with proof of residence or somesuch.

Frankly it's probably safer to set up a completely separate "US" account from the beginning, always use a VPN IP proxy when making purchases and downloads to your computer, and pay for any books you buy using gift cards if you hope to regularly tiptoe around geo-restrictions (really, they should be offering books worldwide and splitting up the rights among publishers according to language instead of territory).
