The Story of the Feds on XXXXXXX BBS
|
|
By The Mad Phone Man
|
|
|
|
Returninghome one afternoon with a friend, I knew something wasn't
|
|
right when I walked into the computer room. I see a "Newuser" on the board...
|
|
and the language he's using is... well "Intimidating"...
|
|
|
|
"I want you all to know I'm with the OCC task force and we know who you are...
|
|
we are going to have a little get-together and 'talk' to you all."
|
|
|
|
Hmmm... a loser?... I go into chat mode... "Hey dude, what's up?" I ask.
|
|
"Your number asshole" he says.... Well, fine way to log on to a board if I do
|
|
say.... "Hey, you know I talked to you and I know who you are.." "Oh
|
|
yeah...Who am I?." he hesitates and says... "Well uh.. you used to work for
|
|
Sprint didn't you?"
|
|
I say, "No, you've got me confused with someone else I think, I'm a junior
|
|
in high school."
|
|
"Ohyeah?.. You got some pretty big words for a high school kid," he
|
|
says....
|
|
"Well, in case you didn't know, they teach English as a major these
|
|
days...."
|
|
He says... "Do you really want to know which LD company I'm with?"
|
|
I say "NO, but if it will make you happy, tell me."
|
|
He says MCI. (Whew! I don't use them)... "Well you're outta luck
|
|
asshole, I pay for my calls, and I don't use MCI." He's dumbfounded.
|
|
I wish him the worst as he asks me to leave his rather threatening
|
|
post up on my board and we hang up on him.
|
|
|
|
Now, I'm half paralyzed... hmmm.... Check his info-form... he left a
|
|
number in 303... Denver.... I grab the phone and call it.. It's the Stromberg
|
|
Telephone company... Bingo.. I've got him.
|
|
I search my user files and come up with a user called "Cocheese" from
|
|
there, and I voice validated him, and he said he worked for a small telco
|
|
called Stromberg... I'm onto him now.
|
|
Later in the week, I'm in a telco office in a nearby major city, I
|
|
happen to see a book, marked "Confidential Employee Numbers for AT&T." I
|
|
thumb thru and lo and behold, an R.F. Stromberg works at an office of AT&T in
|
|
Denver, and I can't cross reference him to an office. (A sure sign he's in
|
|
security). Well, not to be out-done by this loser... I dial up NCIC and check
|
|
for a group search for a driver's licence for him... Bingo. Licence number,
|
|
cars he owns, his SS number, and a cross reference of the licence files finds
|
|
his wife, two kids and a boat registered to him.
|
|
I've never called him back, but If I do have any trouble with him, I'm
|
|
gonna pay a little visit to Colorado....
