	By: Digital Dreamer (Valium on EFnet, Digital on Undernet)



  Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a member of PLA.  

It was almost instant -- the first time I saw that issue of PLA001, I 

have been obsessed.  I would read and reread each issue, straining my 

eyes to read the text printed from the faded, aged printer ribbon my 

friend, Phil had.  I didn't have a printer, you see.  My TRS-80's 

daisywheel had long ago given out.  But that didn't deter me.



  I realized, soon enough, that my only way to get in to PLA would be to 

emulate RedBoxChilliPepper.  Even though he wasn't the leader, he was the 

one who wrote all the articles, and so his exploits were the most 

documented.  When I heard that he brought his laptop with him in to work 

to do stuff like write issues of PLA, I instantly realized how I could be 

like him.  I tossed my TRS-80 in the trunk, 10 8inch disks with my latest 

warez (written in BASIC-80, I was so proud!), and went to my college 

elevator.  I knew the elevator had one of those emergency phones, and I 

also knew it had a power plug for maintenance.  I discreetly smuggled my 

TRS-80 under my coat to get by the security guard.  I hadn't started 

shaving yet (although I could hardly wait to tell Phil when I did!), so I 

just told the guard I was a pregnant child prostitute and he let me past.



  Once inside the elevator, I ripped the emergency telephone out of the 

wall, and lo and behold, there was a wall jack.  Quickly setting up my 

TRS-80, I booted and went into the wardialer I had written.  I told it to 

start scanning an exchange.  I felt like a real Phone Freak.  About 3 

seconds later, I had arrived at the floor I told the elevator to go to.  

Quickly I pushed another button so the doors would close and the elevator 

would keep going.  Well, that's until the people on the bottom floor 

noticed something was amiss and told me to stop.  But I didn't care, I 

had scanned an entire exchange, and the results were stored on a single 8 

inch disk.  I could hardly wait to get home and tell my mom!



  I emailed RedBoxChilliPepper about this repeatedly, and not once did he 

reply.  I figured he wasn't that impressed, since he had probably done it 

himself before, so I decided to use his own tricks against him.  I 

quickly got the Phrack list of outdials that Erikb had published 3 years 

ago, along with Phrack 47.  Unfortunately, none of them worked, but after 

whining on EFNet #phreak for about 3 hours (it took 2 just to get on the 

IRC at 300 baud from my trusty TRS -- the accoustic couplers kept falling 

off), someone told me one.  So I quickly telnetted to it from my friend's 

machine (I had hacked his password by watching him type it in at school) 

and dialed up the relay service.  I asked them to please dial directory 

assistance for Illinois.  I realize now that I could have just dialed up 

tdd directory assistance for Illinois direct, but I was young and 

foolish.  Anyway, I told them that I didn't actually have a name or 

number or address.  However, I did have a .GIF of him, so I drew it best 

I could for the tdd relay operator using my ASCII art skills, and asked 

her to describe it to the directory assistance operator.  After I did 

that, she said "sksk" and hung up.  Ah-A! I had it, RBCP's name was 

"sksk".  Now I could scare him with my Phone Phreak (Phil told me that 

was how it was spelled -- I didn't get it, they said never to spell stuff 

like that in English class, but I didn't want to make a scene by pointing 

out Phil's mistake) Skills.  I was so proud.



  I then emailed RBCP several more time, addressing him by name (Hi, 

there, sksk.  Yes, I know your name, my skills are *that* leet, fear me.) 

(Phil helped me write that one) to scare him.  I must have scared him so 

much he couldn't bear to reply, because he didn't.  I was so happy, I 

danced around the house singing "I'm a Phone Phreak, nyah nyah" until my 

mom made me stop.

  

  I knew that only impressing RBCP wouldn't be any good -- I'd need to 

impress that Zak hooligan, too.  So I decided to make some prank 

calls through my favorite Bell Relay Service Operator, 4312 (F).  Talking 

to her always gave me an erection.  Here is a log of one.



 OPERATOR: number pls ga

 ME: 1-800-LOAN-YES

 OPERATOR: ringing... 1... 2... (answered) (ca here ... explaining relay   

	   service) .. ok, hello.. ga

 ME: BIG PINK DONKEY DICKS! (please hang up, ca)

 OPERATOR: ok .. disconnected, ga or sk 

 ME: hang up, fool.

 OPERATOR: ok, thanks for using at&t sksk

 ME: yeah, whatever.

 <session ends>



  I was so proud, I sent Zak taped recordings of my prank calls.  They 

weren't very interesting, just the sound of my typing for about 20 

minutes, but I saw he liked doing that a lot, so I sent them anyway.  He 

never replied, he must have been real peachy keen impressed.  I was soo 

happy.



  As I was browsing the PLA website in lynx one day, I saw that they had 

an application form up! Excitedly, I took it home and got my mom and 

dad to help me fill it out for me.  I was a bit worried when there was 

the section to enter in your credit card, since I had heard they were 

Credit Card Phreaks, but I filled it in anyway.  



  I mailed it in, and while I was waiting for a response, my parents got 

a big shock.  Boy howdy, the bill on that credit card was $1,000e10! How 

did that happen? I thought it might have been PLA, but I was too afraid 

to tell my parents.  They changed their credit card number with some 

white out and an exacto knife, but still they kept getting billed.  

Eventually, they just gave up and cancelled the credit card, but it 

didn't stop there.  I kept getting 20-30 calls a DAY with people just 

calling up, saying "Jim Rimmer" (that's my name, they must have got it 

the same was as me through the relay service, since I have my picture up 

on my homepage).  I began to get real frustrated, and got the telephone 

company (Back-Asswards-Communications, Inc.  One time when I was down 

there looking at the new switches (they upgraded to SxS) as part of a 

tour, they mentioned they were really called Oncor, but that they never 

used that name except at formal occasions) to change my number.  The phone 

calls stopped for about 20 seconds, and then resumed.  I was so 

surprised, I wondered who could be doing it.



  Well, the calls slowed down for a while, but then one morning I woke up 

when the doorbell rang.  I looked out my window and my street was 

positively filled with all sorts of trucks, cars, vans and fire 

department vehicles! I was so worried I wet myself.  But once I changed 

clothes, I told them all it was a mistake and to go away.  Well, it was 

hard to get that all out, because I had a bran muffin in my mouth 

and all these reporters were asking me questions.  But I eventually got 

it out once I accidentally spat out my bran muffin on some guy standing 

beside me.



  Anyway, then my phone line changed somehow.  It started asking me for 

quarters! I thought this must be some change in billing procedures, but I 

also realized this would be the perfect chance for me to try out my 

Red Box! Wow, I called all my friends over and we sat around the phone.  

I picked it up and hit the quarter button.  Unfortunately, it didn't 

work! All my friends called me a loser and beat me up for my lunchmoney, 

but I didn't care.  I was a Phone Phreak!



  Sadly, I have been unable to continue persuing my membership 

in PLA, because my TRS-80 accoustic modem can't dial over the new kind of 

phone line.  My parents are afraid to go to the telco office and ask them 

to change it, because the billing office is out in the middle of the 

forest and is surrounded by bears, hunters and ugly people.



  Anyway, I thought I'd share my experiences with you so you too can try 

to get into PLA.  Good luck!

?                   Prank Phone Call Transcripts                             ?

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

No PLA issue can be complete without a few prank phone call transcripts. The

following three are done by Mouthbreather (847). The first transcript is from

a collect call made through OCI to an adjacent pay phone that just so happens

to accept collect calls (847-234-9674).



OP: Hello this is OCI, you have a collect call from Mike Hunt.

ME: What?  I have a collect call from your cunt?  Why the hell is your cunt 

    calling me?

OP: <pissed>  Mike <pause> Hunt

ME: There's a collect call coming from your cunt?  That's disgusting!  You 

    are a sick person

OP: I'm putting the call through anyway

?         Free Groceries For All! - written by The Cookiesnatcher            ?

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Alright here's the thing, me being of the adolecent I am, have to do

adolecent things, one of which is getting a shit job.  For three long months I 

worked at a fast food chain called "Hardee's".  This is a place almost 

identical to McDonald's, anyway among the tasks performed there were common 

fast food shit like taking orders, dealing with customers, etc, etc.  One day 

we ran out of strawberries (for milk shakes), and as it were, milk.  



So me being the little work horse I am was sent to the nearest Grocery Store 

to fetch these needed product's.  I was thinking that they would give me money 

or a check or some way of paying for these but instead told me to tell the 

grocery store to bill it to Hardee's, I said ok and was on my way.



When I retrieved the items and went up to the check out register I simply told 

her to charge it to Hardee's. Do we see where this is going yet? They wrote 

out a little form and had me sign at the bottom, not asking for ID, proof of 

employment or any means of identifacion.  So I was on my merry way to my 

mundane job thinking "hmmmm, that was too easy".  



So I finished up my day's work and the next day (which I had off) went back to

the store wearing my Hardee's uniform and did the same thing, only this time I 

took stuff that I wanted, like cigerettes, condoms (so i can have sex)...(ok 

so I can be prepared to have sex)........(alright alright i didnt get 

condoms!!!) and things to that effect.  I went up to the counter and did the 

same thing only this time I signed my name as someone who doesnt exist.



It's really that easy to get anything you want from a grocery store. Just make 

sure its the closest Grocery Store to the fast food place you are charging it 

to.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that PLA fans can actually compose entire 

letters! I was so shocked I decided to clean out my capture directory and put 

all the content here. If YOU'D like to tell me where to go, write your letters 

to bueno@peak.org. Letters which have signatures longer than the body of the

letter will be heavily edited and printed to make the author look retarded.



Dear PLA:

As a disgruntled ex-Kroger Grocery Store Employee (heavy on the ex, light on 

the disgruntled)  I have a little knowledge of Kroger's Paging system which I 

am more than happy to share for the sake of PLA :)



At my store old store, (I'm not sure about every store but will check others 

in a few dayz) the paging extension was 50.  If you were a cashier, all you'd 

have to do was pick up the phone, dial 50, then broadcast your message over 

the entire store.  The customer service extension was 255.



If you wanted to take over from the outside you would have to dial up customer 

service (ex: 912-925-0095).  Then have them switch you to another department. 

You wouldn't want to take over through customer service, they get suspicious.  

Try getting transfered to a department like produce. Produce is usually 

stocked with a bunch of teen age boys who don't give a fuck what you do and 

may just help you becuase they are bored as hell. Go figure!  



You could also try departments who don't use the phone a lot like Seafood, 

Meat Dept, Deli, or Bakery.  Now for an employee to transfer you, he must hit 

FLASH (click the hook once), 51, then 50 for the paging extension.  Now you 

gots total control.  Give it a try, if you're bored one day and happen to have 

an unused calling card code.  Good Luck!

Dear PLA:

umm, i read pla 39, and you were talking about all the security with them

needing zip codes.... bah ... i did your fool-the-gas-station thing (beat

your record too, got 5 cards in once call from dave the night man) with a

speedway in our huge pop. 200 town here, and when id play around carding

calls through 800-COLLECT (face it, mci deserves more than at&t if only for

their "are you out there at&t" commercials.) and they need the zip code too,

if you get the cards from a small-town gas station then 90% of them will be

the zip code the gas station is in. call the town's post office (or a town

resident if you want to confuse them, i guess) and get the zip code. umm,

have fun with the roam ops.

Dear RBCP:

I really love your web page, and everthing on it, it really is one of my

favorite, if not #1, but reading through your life story there was one thing I 

didn't understand, how in the Helsinki did you pass pennies in quarter rolls 

as quarters?!  The quarter roll has a wider diameter than the pennies and 

unless you cut the paper and glued it... how would you do it... I'm interested 

in knowing...for information purposes only, of course.  



thanks & keep pla alive for ever,

blucloake

http://members.iglou.com/boiser5/bluecloak.htm



  [Although it's very risky, it's also very easy. It goes something like this:

   Take one roll of pennies, open it and remove four pennies from the roll,

   scotch tape the roll shut very tightly, cut 2 1/2 strips of construction

   paper the same width as your new penny roll and tape it around the roll.

   

   Now you should have a cylinder that has the exact same width and diameter

   of a roll of quarters. Wrap a quarter wrapper around it, tape the ends,

   write a fake name and phone number on the side and you're ready to go. A

   safer, yet not as cost effective, alternative would be to remove SIX 

   pennies from the original roll, then after you've stuck the modified

   pennies into the quarter roll, stick a quarter on each side, just in case

   the cashier opens it. This saved me a few times. ]

Dear PLA:

Some pretty amusing pranks there for the 7-11 pinheads to ponder. Me, I won't 

even go into a 7-11 store. Haven't ever since the puss-brains quit selling 

cigarette papers. Nuts to 7-11. I'm kind've an aging fart, 45 going on 46, but 

I still chuckle when I think of the whacky shit a buddy of mine and myself 

used to do to unsuspecting store employees, customers and innocent bystanders 

when we were teenagers. I'd better not email you details of the incidents, 

even though it's been at least 28 years since most of them occurred because I 

don't know who all can read this shit. 



I will say, however, that if a prankster has a particular convenience store 

for targeting and the store has sliding glass doors they leave open on hot 

days (not many stores left like that I know) several well aimed jumbo sized 

firework rockets through the open doors will make everyone inside hit the deck 

pronto. I stick to more mundane things nowadays, like writing whacky crap for 

the web. Check out my channel at http://clix.net/clix/dooleys if you're 

interested.

Dear PLA:

This is so cool!  I've found stuff here that isn't anywhere else on the Net!  

The instructions are also more in-depth than the ones on other sites, so even 

an idiot like me can figure it out.  By the way, I called Netcom for a free 

disk and they said their disks were only available with payment for the first 

month.

Hey RBCP, awhile back my comp was on the fritz and I only had a few text files

Thanx!

Dear PLA:

You guys kick ass!! After reading the revenge issue I canceled all of my

Dear PLA:

I've found a new way to block 800 ANI. It is called Net2Phone and allows 

people to place calls using a piece software which connects to IDT's (the

company offering Net2Phone) servers and routes the call from their fones in 

New Jersey to wherever you want to call.



Here is how they describe it, "Net2Phone enables Internet users with sound

equipped PCs to initiate calls from their computers and transmit them over the 

Internet to IDT's phone switches. The switches then convert the signal from 

the 'packet switch network' Internet environment to the 'circuit switch 

network' telephone environment. And then  to its' final destination - any 

ordinary telephone. The result is real-time uninterrupted voice communication

between the two calling parties."



This service is offered for free on 800 and 888 numbers. If you want to call 

regular numbers it cost's extra. Unfortunately, after you call the number, you 

cannot send tones and it is too staticky to use a tone dialer. Grab a copy at 

http://www.net2phone.com.

Dear PLA:

Have you read the latest/last issue of Phrack? Well I have and discovered that 

Erik B will no longer be publishing Phrack does that mean he won't publish PLA 

either? Please say it ain't so!



  [It's true that erikb won't be writing PLA anymore but fortunately an even 

   better editor has decided to take the reigns. Your new editors are 

   Emmanuel Goldstien and Chris Tomkinson. I might still write an occasional 

   article, though. For those who read 2600, don't worry - PBX Phreak will 

   be taking over as head editor there. Thanks for your concern.]

Hey RBCP,

Still got those annoying neighbors?  Here's my personally guaranteed method of 

Cactusing them.  Next time they piss you off, wait for the newspaper courier 

to throw their paper into their yard.  Right after the courier leaves, sneak 

over and steal your neighbors newspaper.  Replace it with a neatly rolled and 

rubber banded newspaper from last week.  Do this for about a week.  They'll 

get pissed becuase they will be paying for a paper they didn't get.  You'll 

get a free paper out of the deal and can get rid of wasted paper. (Great 

Recycling program).  Even an added bonus if the newspaper guy has been a real 

pain in the ass lately, he'll probably get chewed out by his boss!



After stealing their paper for a week, try canceling their paper service.  Or 

if they come home from work late, steal their paper and cut out all the really 

interesting articles, then roll it back up and leave in their front yard.  

You'll be surprised how many people are newspaper dependent!



Peace OOoouutttTTT....

Dear PLA:

I don't know if you are in to getting soda out of machines or not, but I'll 

send my idea anyway.  I've found that, with a friend to hold up the trap door 

where soda comes out, you can stick your arm inside a pepsi machine and pull 

soda out. This is for 20oz. bottle dispensers.  On can machines, you need more 

time and a secluded place.  You probably will need to break the plastic cover 

just above the slot where soda comes out.  Once this is off, you will see a 

bar held in place by a pin.  This bar stops the door from coming up too far.  

Just use some pliers and pull the pin off, Then slide the bar out and you can 

stick your arm inside and get free soda.  Schools with machines in the locker 

room are the best place to do this.  You can also use a broomstick to 

accomplish the same thing if you can't get your arm inside the machine.

Dear PLA:

Hi. I'm the co-founder of the PLA Bay Area Division (I like to call it 

PLA-BAD) here in California. I went to Radio Shack one day about a week ago

to buy a tone dialer (gee, I wonder why?). They were out of tone dialers, but

the idiot employee who was working at the time (his name was David) told me I

could pay for it now and come back in a couple days to get it when they got

their new shipment in. He told me he would remember me. I gave him my money, 

he gave me a receipt, and I went home. 



Two days later, I went back to pick up my tone dialer. David wasn't working, 

so I showed my receipt to some other employee and he gave me a tone dialer. I 

left. A few minutes later, I realized that I forgot to buy batteries. I went 

back, and guess what--David was working!



He looked at me, said "Oh, I remember you!" and gave me another tone dialer.

The guy who gave me the first one was nowhere in sight. So I got two tone

dialers for the price of one. Oh, and the phone number for the Radio Shack

where this happened is 408-746-0809. The store is located in Sunnyvale, CA.

Dear PLA:

As of June the US Postal Service (sadly) is now sending out confirmation on 

address changes and forwards.  Thought you might like to know (if you don't 

already) cuz that affects your revenge document.

Dear PLA:

Hey, me and Hormone were messing around and we found this new way to make free 

long distance, and thought you might want to include it in in a future issue.

We called up the Bon (department store), and we got transfered to the Tiger 

Shop (they sell clothes there or something), we talked to some sales Rep named 

Tracy and i pretended to be from security, and said that we were doing a 

routine check to see if the employee's knew the info they were supposed to. We 

got her name and her employee number.. Then we called back, talked to the Bon 

opeartor, and Hormone said he was Tracy from extension 6170 (The tiger shop)

and that he needed an outside line. She asked for his employee number, and 

then the number we wanted to dial. .. he gave him Disneyland security, and 

the call went through... They must deduct whatever the charges are from that 

person's pay roll or something.. Hormone also hasn't hit puberty yet, so he 

can pose as a girl pretty good :) ..Otherwise you would have to search around 

until you found a guy working there.

  [Wow, Hormone is going to be thrilled to have that announced to the whole

   world. Thanks for the ideas!]

And yet another issue of PLA comes to an end. The next issue shouldn't be 

quite so delayed as the last one but you never know. PLA's Main Headquarters

(i.e. Me) will be relocating somewhere east of California & west of Georgia

by the next issue so be on the lookout for the new address if you're planning

on sending a pipebomb to me or anything. Until then, check out the following

really neat-o electronic 'zines:
