AND THEY CALL US CROOKS? 


3sy Siluiil Swi k'liniii n 

a friend and ] goa together one day and vrafwitJ^teiSvoe if 

we can nsa xopie money trying, no help out various 
eotnmunoiiions companies by finding faults in iJtings where, 
they arc losing money." It in sort of like nothing links in an 
automobile Lire to keep Lhe air from escaping. 1 am sure t'aat 
some of the iciu'Ili s out ilium:: luve had said to them selves, ""Gee, 
book at th is. 1 f i his. phone company only knew that you could 
take advantage of t kei r system that way, 1 bit that 1 cOu Id try to 
make a lillle money and help them otn and ihey tan help me 
out. " it is a thought 1 but a phone phreuk often has lo tel!; the 
big company the fla'.^v in ils systems and to be rewarded a 
symbiotic: relationship. 

5 n one of the new d igiia I switch ing systems, we found some 
vc i y good wa Vs wIil-iv you can make long d istanct c .1 Ils for free 
from any telephone rotary or louchtnnc. Wlten contacting 
one of- ti.i, e n>fijor manufacturers, they said, “We will test^Lhis 
out, and iflt Worlhunylbing, we will let you kftow, T had also 
1 old 1 his company several ol her lJiin.es before , and 1 hey kid said 
Lo me then , “We will kt this be a free sample to prove yourself to 
us." So 1 .gave them two very jsood free samples as to problems 
in (heir system, melud ing the name of une system saboteur who 
wjs going around dcsit dying systems (switching systems, that 

is). Tikis Was 10 he a sample as lO whaL I was going Lil do for 
them. 

Then when [ found i his m Ivcr tiling where any and eve r v hotly 
i u i he Us A edukt ma Ve a free call on tt GTDflj digital s wiieh Y 
3 didn't come right cad and fell them exactly whal it was, l said, 

" I f you pay me a smidl consultant Is fee of fStKl. I con Id save you 
w:vn;ral hundred thousand dollars a month, They were nut 
iru creator); they wanted me to tali them first tod ii started a big 
thing. 

this friend; ui mine emit acted a very large long distance 
■L'arrierfwith an a 11 America n name) and told them of problems 
with their long distance company. They promised him a 

an interesting diversion 

by land Phrcakcr 

A diver ter is a fumi of cull forward ing l he phone phreafc 
calls tlve euStcntierk office phone number after hours, and the 
Call is ‘diverted' to the customer’s home. This sort of service Li- 
set up so the phone subscriber dees not miss any important 
calls, Hut why would a phrenic he interested? Well, often 
diviner- fca w u few second s ol 1 he customer's own 'dial tone as 
the customer hangs up. Thu intrepid phreak dm use this bnet 
window to dial out oa die ealkd party’s dial bunt, and, 
unfortunately, it will appear on the diverter subscribers bill. 

How Diverters Arc Used 

tine merely calls the customer’s oliice phone numhci after 
hours and waits for him oi her to answer. Then lie either 
apologizes for ’misd ialiug a wrong number' Or merely remains 
quiet sn as to halve the customer think it's merely a crank phone 
call. When the costumer bangs up, he just waits for the few 

2h>5 


consultant fee of SilkDOO, wh ieh may sound pretty lid ly . hat 
would have paid for itself in a short period of tiiivc. They solved 
many nf the problems in the ir network, and when it final ly oa me 
down Lo iJay 1 lie bill (my friend liad act na I ly spe ai i Line a rn I 
money), tbc long distance carrier said "We do not fed wc ow i 
you anything. Bui you can give us information about our 
•system any t ime you want to. The big long d istanee phone 
company with lhe American-sounding name said LliaL one 
reason that they were not going to pay the individual is because 
i hey had been screwed by it phone pbreii k. in i he jrast who was. 
piiissng around the information , creating 1 he prob km and 1 ken 
trying lo make money on it, My them! who simply tried to 
make some money esm" nut iny did not have 1 hat in mind. The 
company liad originally said that they "pay for information 
that is used to stop problems wi lIiLh mu- system, " He: reminded 
them of this comment, and tlicy since liavc denied it. Sn this 
ver y laigg company Iws now reneged oji a Verbal conn ag: and 
i hgy have rmule no ittlcmpt iv reiihbura; him for his expend. 

bfy esponrnces with various companies have leJ me to 
brlieve 1 hat there is no real way for someone like me to provide 
uspert advice. So here 1 am, holding a seurel to Lhe GTDffS 
swiieh. where people vim rrvi.ke free calls. I would estimate thilL 
the cast to tire company would be from S IfW.iXW to S 1 25 ,000 
I o r month, and it is increasing as ninre and more people take 
advantage of iliis bug. The GTDm 5 (General T ek phone Digital) 
is made by Automatic F.leetric. 

So, basically, i ho moral of this story Ls; Do not trust a 
company that you a re ever jtoiti? to d o business with, vvhetber it 
is a telephone company ora bi|s corporation. Do not onlL up an 
L-ngiu<jeT dr a u president of a company or somebody in 
tclephoise securi ty, and do not be lieve is wjlsn they lu'il yosi shai 
tbey will pay for services rendered. If tlicy ever make ynu a 
promise, get it in writing, ticenuse they u'rj'f cheat yon. 

(A ; the request of t fie author, the flaw in the CTDtt . 5 sivrreA wh'i 
no! j>; primed in this Issue, inn in next monift 's issue,) 


seconds nf dial tone amt tltun dials away, fhis would not be 
used as a primary meaiLS nf calling, as i i is il kind a nd us multiple 
'wrong, nuniLiers'^ii lerirf to suspicion . pko thi-i- method UE-uaLly 
only works at night m after office hours. Diverters are mainly 
used fnr enSIs that cannot be made from extenders. 

I nternat iunal calling yr i hu ca I’ing; of Alliance 1 ekcontercnci ng 
(see 2d iW, May lbg5) are common possibilities. Another thing 
co remember Is tliot tracing re-sults i-i the customer^ phone 
number, so one ran call up TRW or that DOD NOR AD 
eompulci' niLinber wilh less concern about Iseing tiaetgl. 

Some technical, problems nroe when using divciteo,, so u 
word nf wnming is in order Many alternate long distance 
wirv ices hang up when the c;i lied party ha ngs u p, Leav ing due 
wit bout a dial tone oreven back at the extender^ dis 1 1 0Pe. I h is 
rea lly -Ju corals on how the extender interfaces wi i h iJiy '.octil 
phone network when it comes out od' the Long haul lines. MCI
