{---Insignifigance, Anyone?----------------------------------------------} 
 
Darn, I so hoped I wouldn't need to put a disclaimer in my tfiles. Pshaww. 
What better way to celebrate the one day anniversary of BLaH then to make 
life hell for someone? Isn't Life Great. 
 
{---The Culprit!?--------------------------------------------------------} 
 
Hmm.. let's take a number. Any number. Say, there's a new 708 WaReZ board 
out called NoX GeO. Except, it's not really new. You see, the old sysop, 
whose name was Gorp, is now going to college. So, he was offering the BBS 
on disks to anyone who cared. Someone I know named <secret. you'll find out 
later> decided it'd be cool to post my real information on a board, and then 
set up this NoX GeO himself, COMPLETELY unmodified, with no originality 
whatsoever. The sysop name is even the same. Well, it seems this little board 
would be perfect for our example. Its number is 708/251-1488. Call Today. 
 
{---What To Do-----------------------------------------------------------} 
 
Now, let's say you have someone's phone number, and that's all. How would 
you ever get more? Especially if it's a BBS number? Well, that's the beauty 
of CN/A. Customer Name/Address. There are plenty of tfiles out there that 
offer a comprehensive list of CN/As across amerika. The one for 708/312 <MY 
NPA! Oh, joy..> is 708/796-9600. So, I call up this CN/A and give them this 
number. They give me a name, <secret. Try it yourself. We wouldn't want any 
legalities, now would we?> and I think "great, I've got a name". Oh joy. I'd 
sure like a voice # to wardial into the wee hours of the morn. Ta Daa! 555- 
1212 is information! Give them the name and city, they'll give you the phone 
number. But wait a sec, what if the person has an unlisted number? Ta Daa 
again! There's a wonderful little internal Bellco office called a DPAC. Find 
out the number from another one of those obnoxious five-year old tfiles <the 
files, not the writers ;) >, and ask for the name/address or number of the 
person. The DPAC has no way of knowing if the number is listed or unlisted, 
being an internal office and all. So, you've got the target's Name, Address, 
Voice # and Data #. What BETTER way to annoy them then to destroy their credit 
rating! Oh Joy! So, you call up your local DMV <Department of Motor Vehicles>, 
and give them the person's name and address. You can get their license # and 
social security number if you are suave enough, and also their date of birth 
using one of those wonderful little Driver's License # programs. Fun, eh? But 
what if the target has no driver's license? Someone in their household must 
have one! If you can't make life hell for someone, I alway say, make life 
hell for their loved ones. Once you have a social security number, my friends, 
you can do ANYTHING. Go to the post office, and get a tax return form. Fill 
it out with the victim's name and SSN. Send it off, returning it to a PO Box, 
and voila! You have the victim's list of bank and credit accounts. Including 
numbers! So now, using one of those wonderful little carding tfiles, you can 
buy anything you want if you're cautious. So now, let's recap, shall we? 
You've got: 
 
Name 
Address 
City, State, ZIP 
Date of Birth 
Voice # 
Data # 
Driver's License # 
Social Security # 
Bank Account #s and other info 
Credit Card #s and other info 
 
Yes, with these helpful facts and a payphone, you can virtually BECOME a 
person. That's all you need to know! Isn't it scary how so much can be gained 
from so little? Doesn't it make you wish you had a phone number that didn't 
exist, like mine? I've called DPAC and CN/A, and my number simply does not 
exist. It's not unlisted, it just isn't there. Yet, I get a phone bill for it. 
Great. Doesn't it make you in the least bit paranoid? Get rid of all of these 
accursed numbers! Destroy your credit cards and driver's licenses! Revolt! 
 
<cue the CIA assassin> 
 
The purpose of this tfile is to illustrate how we are nothing but numbers 
in this country, how all sense of individuality is completely gone, and to 
make life hell for the owner of 251-1488. The End.
