- [ Loose a FED In 4 Easy Steps! ]
- --------------------------------
-
- The first thing most investigators would do when they find an access code has
- been abused is to wait until it has a large bill to act upon it (which may
- never happen). This is because it is unprofitable to the long distance service
- to try to find and prosecute a person who has made less than $500.00 worth of
- calls (depending on the LD service).
-
- A FED is a very different case. As soon as he finds an access code
- is being abused, he will take immediate action. The following is the series of
- events which will take place once a FED discovers an abused account.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- In the following steps, "you" are the phreaker in question that was making the
- calls (heaven forbid). The steps listed are for both "you" and the person(s)
- receiving the illegally made phone calls.
-
- Step 1: The FED will personally call *EVERY* destination number on the account
- and ask for information on who called them on the date(s) the call(s)
- were made. If it is a bulletin board, he will contact the sysop by
- voice or if there is no voice number available, he will send one or
- more investigators from the nearest MCI Investigations Department to
- question the sysop. He will ask them for information pertaining to
- the phreaker. Hopefully, your amnesiac friends will somehow forget
- all about you and be able to tell the FED nothing.
-
- Step 2: The FED will wait a couple of days, then again contacts the person(s)
- that received calls and says that he has found you and that you have
- told him that the people "you" had been speaking with also made those
- calls and that the FED will bust the person(s) who were called
- unless they would like to pay for the calls. (If this part pertains
- to you, that is if you were the one who received calls and the FED or
- any agent said this then, at this point you should contact an attorney
- as this is telephone harassment, a federal crime committed over an
- interstate communications carrier, and you could sue MCI or whichever
- company it involved).
-
- Step 3: If some of the person(s) called by you weren't as amnesiac as you
- would have liked when the FED spoke to them and then the FED calls you
- or your parents, then you should deny everything that the FED accuses
- you of, no matter how many people he says turned you in. a FED will
- be lying (one hopes) so deny everything.
-
- Step 4: The FED will call you again in a couple of days and tell you that you
- have one last chance to turn yourself in. When you say no again,
- The FED will try to scare you by telling you that MCI is going to make
- an example of you and prosecute to the fullest extent. If a FED
- does this, then you know he has no evidence on you or at most,
- circumstantial evidence.
-
- You might get a couple of calls after that. Keep denying it and make sure you
- drop out of phreaking for approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months. If you get a call
- from your local phone company then drop out for at least 6 months to a year.
- They will most likely put a pen register or a DNR on your line.
-
- a FED usually has a degree in Criminal Psychology so be very careful! He
- can't do anything to you if you follow the above guidelines unless he had a
- trace put on the account you were using. If that is the case, then he will
- show up at your door arrest you. Your best bet is to stay away from it
- entirely. a FED's home phone is unlisted (of course), but his office number
- can be obtained from any operator of the company he works for. (ex: MCI, GTE)
