Are   you  still  faking????   If  you
answer  yes on this question, then you
should  read  this  little story.  I'm
going to tell you what happend me some
time    ago,   a   mailtraders   worst
nightmare.
It  was Saturday, and since I'm pretty
lazy  in  the weekends I got up around
12  o'clock.   About  fifteen  minutes
later,   I  was  walking  towards  our
Mailbox.   I opened it,and looked into
the  box, I found a little letter with
a  Royal  Nor- wegian Mail logo on it.
Well,by  then  I actually knew what it
was.   Because I had recieved a single
letter   this   week,   and  that  was
strange.   During  the  week I usually
recieve  10-12  letters.   I opened up
the  letter carefully and took out the
letter.   The letter started by saying
that  the  Royal Mail had some letters
which  belonged to me(Spacehawk), then
they described the way the stamps were
faked  on.  The letter said that I had
to make a phonecall to a listed number
as  fast as possible so that a meeting
could  be  arranged.   The letter also
said  that  the Royal Mail would value
an  announcement.   By this time I was
pretty afraid and I decided to ring on
Monday after school.
³Monday:¹   I  came home as usually, but
now  I  had to ring the Royal Mail.  I
took  the  phone-  hook in my hand and
dialed   the   number  I  had  gotten.
"Don't   pick   it  up!",  I  said  to
¶himself.   But just after some seconds
I heard a man's voice in the phone.  I
explained  why  I  was calling, and we
agreed   that   I  came  down  to  the
main-office  the  next  day.   The man
said  that nothing would happend to me
the first time, but I had to come down
and   collect   the  contains  of  the
letters.  I was to take the lift up to
fifth  floor(the  highest floor!!) and
ask for Berg.  I felt quite re- lieved
when  this  little phonecall was over.
But the worst part wasn't over yet!!
³Tuesday:¹(Judgement   Day!?!)  I  stood
outside   the  Royal  Mail  office  in
Stavanger(Where I also live!!), shaked
but  not  stirred!  At 15.15 I entered
the  office  and  took  the lift up to
fifth    floor.    The   fifth   floor
contained  a  lot  of  doors.  All the
doors  were  marked  with a name, so I
started  looking  for  the  name Berg.
Finally  I  found it, I knocked on the
door  and  a  man's  said  that should
enter.   Well,I  entered  the room and
ex- plained why I was here.  First the
clerk(Mr.Berg)  looked  a bit grim but
he  changed to a normal look.  He went
out  of the room to get my letters.  A
few  seconds  later he was back again,
also another guy entered the room.  He
presentated  himself  and  sat down in
front  of me.  Mr.Berg started to open
the  letters  while  the  other  clerk
began   to  question  me.   The  first
question was why I started faking, was
I  aware how serious this was.  I said
that  I  started  faking  because of a
lack  of money, and I wasn't of course
aware   how  serious  the  Royal  Mail
¶looked  at  faking.   The clerk looked
rather  satisfied.  And he and Mr.Berg
questioned  me  a  bit more.  How many
letters  did I recieve in a week?  How
long  I had been faking?  What did the
disks contain?  At the last question I
answered quickly that it was PD,intros
and  some  demos.   They  asked nomore
about that.  Mr.Berg said that nothing
would happend to me since this was the
first time, but if they ever caught me
again  I  would  find  myself  in  big
trouble.   The  clerks  said  that the
mail   with   codenames  on  would  be
carefully  axemined.   They  also said
that   they  were  aware  of  the  big
amounts of fakers and that they worked
close  with  several  contries on this
issue.   When  I asked him if they had
got  a new machine which stopped faked
letters better, he wouldn't answer me.
I  think  they  might  have got such a
machine, because this rumour have been
circulated  for  a  while.   After  30
minutes  I  could  leave  the  office.
Soon I was on the bus heading home.  I
have never felt as relieved as that in
my life!!
This  is  where the whole thing ended.
All  I  can  say is stop faking before
you  get  caught.   I  don't think you
would  like  been  confronted  to such
guys.   I was lucky because the guys I
talked  to  were really nice.  But you
may  be  unlucky  and  get very wicked
persons  who  don't care what you say.
If  you  can't  afford the stamps, you
shouldn't  have as any contacts.  Once
again  here  is  the  warning:   
  ½"STOP FAKING BEFORE IT'S TO LATE!"¹
