- Is Scanning Legal?
- ------------------
-
- Defination of Scanning :
-
- Scanning [skannin] : Calling #'s in sequencial order looking for intresting
- things, carriers, loops, pbx's etc. etc. etc.
-
-
- A while ago I was scanning 8oo nums like mad [using PsychoScan of course :)]
- I was doing it 24/7 every day for 5 days to a week.I was getting mad karryerz
- I had about 70 or 80 a day! I thought this was all well and good until a week
- later when i got a letter from AT&T's 8oo watz services saying: (something
- like)
-
- You have been abusing the AT&T wats service and exceeded your maxium number
- of calls 2ooo a month. If you are running a business then please tell us, or
- else the next offense will result in a $1o,ooo fine and/or imprisionment.
-
-
- I called an operator and asked to be transfered to AT&T, then talked to an
- operator for a while, and asked why couldnt i dial 8oo nums? she was nice in
- the begining then she said she'd call me back with the info, when she did she
- was a bitch about it. She said that i was breaking the law and might get a
- fine, so i kindly told her to fuck off. and hung up.. They turned off my 8oo
- services for about 2 weeks, then it came back on. This is all well and good
- but now we get to the question : Is scanning legal. Well we dont relly have
- an answer for you. Once i called an operator and said 'I was wondering if
- it would be legal if I (with my computer) called every 800 number sequencially
- and she said 'Yes i dont see why not, as long as you dont prank call anyone'
- and as long as i dont call the same number over and over its okay. Well she
- says it is and they say it isnt. I have a good mind to write them a fucking
- letter telling them to get their story straight. So my question was never
- answered. Is skanning legal?
-
-
- I think we should find out, and make it legal if it isnt. Afterall they dont
- know we scan to find things to hack. We could just say were looking for not
- known bbs's in the 800 exchange?
-
- If anyone gets any info on this topic, please send it in imediatly to AWoL
-
- Later
