Another mag to tell you how the world should be run and how to go about running it that way. It's more articles on "Hacking the CBI Computer Network." And you have the first issue right in your hands. Now that we have things clear, I will begin by telling you things that will convince you that the message of this magazine is immortal and convince you to view it as your bible from this day on. Got that, good buddy? Good. The purpose of this mag is nothing other than to inform the public of what they SHOULD know, but aren't told by the government and media. It will also tell you the latest ways to pull yourself out of the drudgery by social engineering and scamming. This world is not someplace where one can survive and become a full and complete person by sitting back and fitting into the mold of society. The future leaders in business, economics, and with any help, politics will be the social eningeers of today's society. Yes, social engineering already takes place in governmental and economic circles, but it isn't to create change, it's to maintain a status quo and fine-tune opinions. What will be discussed herein will be revolution- ary compared to this pathatic display of what can be such a powerful tool. What exactly is the purpose of the magazine? Well, it's not to help change the would, or even a country. It's not to plan for the future of society. It's to help you acquire money, connections, power, and information. No matter what happens to these pathetic times we live in, most of the above will still benefit you. Even if you are picking this mag up five years from now, much of it should still be current. And if it isn't, that's your fault for being too stupid to find Sabotage sooner. %ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ^SECTION~ Two for One ^ ii~ UPS Announces Two-for-One From the Manufacturer of Your Choice Ever order something from a mail order house and have it shipped UPS? Sure, just about everone has. Ever have it show up on your doorstep when you're out...you know...it was just left there by the UPS guy and no one signed for it? Are little bells and whistles going off in your head yet? Well, it should sound like the intro to "Time" by Floyd by now if you deserve to read this mag. OK, so what exactly can you do here? Let's establish a basis first: you need to get a package delivered that you don't have to sign for. Usually UPS will leave regular ground shipments on your doorstep even if you aren't home. This is what you want, and you better not leave any notes on where to put it or, "Just leave the package on the doorstep" because you just legally claimed responsibility for the package. This only works if the leave it without you asking them to. Now, you come home and have your new whatever sitting on your doorstep. Start smiling, because in a few weeks you'll have another. Wait about 3 or 4 more business days, then call back and say, "Where is my goddamn package? I ordered this thing a week and a half ago! Can you check on where it is?" Chances are that it was sent out using UPS GroundTrack. They will get the GroundTrack numbers and call UPS only to find it was already delivered. They'll call back and tell you that is was delivered on whatever day you picked it up, and probably be stupid enough to ask, "Are you SURE you didn't get it yet?" Tell them to shove it up their ass, you want your new toy, and you want it NOW. They'll probably tell you that they need to call you back in a day or two after they talk to UPS. More than likely they'll put in a claim for the "lost" package, as most places insure their shipments through UPS. If you are either pissed off enough or convincing and nice enough (the latter method usually works best throughout this and all other phone contact scams) they will ship out a replacment before they even get their UPS claim back (which will take two or three weeks on average to be processed). This time, it doesn't matter if you sign for it or not. Chances are they will not drop it off unless you sign for it. The won't drop anything off unless someone it there to sign for a LONG time, so don't expect this to work at the same address often. Now you have your second whatever it is. If you ordered a hard drive, congrats, you can always use more space. If you ordered a new intake manifold for your truck what the fuck do yount two for? Well...to take advantage of the "money-back satisfaction guarantee" that you were insightful enough to look for before making your educated purchase. Tell them it won't fit, it sucks, you granny's Olds has a higher-performance intake on it that this piece of shit you sent me, or whatever. You just got one for free. %ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ^SECTION~ Free Demos ^ iii~ Free Demo Products for Your Magazine Writer's Hardware Revue Column #Editor's Note: This text is a bit outdated in the equipment it talks about, but the general concept remains true and still works very well if properly done. ~This method has earned me a lot of good stuff, virtually any non-OEM company will do business with you, Hayes, Xebec, Sony, Alpine, Hitachi, RCA, Hayes. Look through a nice magazine, see something you like. Once you find it, look for a business phone number. If there is one on the ad, then call it up, and follow these steps: B = You C = Company B: Hello, this is Joe Smith from Kplastic Magazine, may I speak to your Public Relations manager? C: Sure Mr.Smith, you can reach him at 700-456-1000, ext 69, his name is Frank Getz. B: Thank your sir, and have a nice day. C: Thanks for calling First Class Peripherals! (call Frank Getz) C: Good afternoon, First Class Peripherals, may I help you? B: Hello is this Frank Getz, this is Joe Smith from Kplastic magazine? C: Yes this is Frank Getz, what can I do for you today? B: Hello, my name is Joe Smith, and I work for Kplastics magazine, and we are doing a story on Hard Disk Subsystems for the Apple II series, in our December Issue. And we would like to include YOUR product in our survey. We were wondering if you could send us a interview system for a short period of 30 days for our story? C: I'll have to check with some other associates, we'll need to ask a few questions first. (ie: he asks how many subscribers you have) B: Oh, my gosh, I believe we have a circulation of 190,000 people. C: Ok, and who publishes your magazine? B: We have a local printing office that does all our printing needs. C: Ok, where can I send the interview system to? B: C: Thank you, and we'll get one right out to you, thanks for calling Mr.Smith. B: Ok Jack, and I'll be in contact with you again next week, have a nice weekend! C: Oh you too! You must be ready, when you do this, they might be cautious! Some times you have to do a lot more. What you may need to do is to get a "No Charge Purchase Order". Include your fake business name, and your fake alias on it, and mark it up for: Product Unit Cost Sale Cost 1 Sider 10 Megabyte Hard Disk $695.00 $0.00 Now once you have done this send it out to them, include a business letter. Don't act like a complete hammer head when you do it. Numbers look good. So when doing this procedure, always have this list ready: o A fake alias (ie, Joe Fitztein). Be creative -- not overly. o Have a fake business name. o Have a 'No Charge Purchase Order' form ready! Include your fake business name if possible. If you can get a business logo onto the forms, do so.. o Have a circulation number ready -- ideal: 110,000 o Have a publisher name ready! Use a fake name. o Have your address ready for them to send it to. A PO box as described in the begining would do great -- but any address will do that you use for a 'dropoff' sit in carding and goods. Have it all ready before hand! Not after, impress him. Be a pompous jerk. If all works fine, and you have done a little planning, you will do fine. Let me explain some terms we used, and give you some places to look. %ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ^SECTION~ Equipment Updates ^ iv~ Equipment Updates Courtesy of the Electronic Store of Your Choice It is so easy to rip off large electronic stores that you just HAVE to take advantage of it. If you want a new amplifier because you fried the old one because your snowplow pump motor destroyed the electrical system of your truck last winter (never happened to me of course.....), or you want a bigger hard drive...or anything like that, you should be able to pull this scam off. The only catch is that you need the cas to pay for what you want for at least a few days. Try this scam at stores like Silo, American Electronics, or whatever you happen to have in your area. What you do is this: find an electronics store or whatever that is too big for their own good. You know what I mean...the sales people know nothing, and they kiss ass to the point that they will accept a return for any reason at all without any questions. Well, let's say you have this fried amp and you want to new one. Go buy an identical one, and return the old one in the new packaging. In case they check to make sure you actually returned the new one, just clean the old one up to look like new. If it's scratched or whatever, get out your screwdriver and put the old guts in the new case and return that. A few minutes of work and you won't get busted. Most times they don't even look. To ensure this, open the packaging very carefully and note how everything is packed. Put it back together exactly the same way, and try to make it look like it hasn't even been opened.....the tell them you didn't even open it (oh...I bought it for my brother but it's the wrong one. You weren't open last night so we bough it somewhere else). A variation on this one it raping computer for everything they're worth. But one, take out EVERYTHING you can't see with the case closed (hard drive, internal modem, video card, controllers, motherboard...whatever) and return the rest. If the store is big enough and you make your excuse convincing enough they won't even check. This is another case where repacking exactly the way it came is important, since you really don't want them checking it. And even if you do get busted...deny you even opened it and tell them it must have came that way. They kiss so much ass in those stores that chances are you'll get away with it. Some final notes on this: it's always best to pay in cash. It also helps to have your excuses ready beforehand so nothing sounds suspicious. Also, don't overlook casing the store beforehand. Spend some time in there, find out their return policies, and figure out just how much the sales people know. Maybe even have one of your friends buy something and return it a few days later (without doing anything to it) to see what their return procedures are...but remember to act like you don't know when you go to do it yourself. Sometimes it even helps to have someone else return the "altered" item for you. It all depends on the location. And a final reminder: the higher the price of the item, the more likely they will be to check it more thoroughly. %ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ ^CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED #ßßßßß ßßßßß ßßßßßß ßßßßß ßßßßßßßß ßßßßß ßßßßß ßßßßßßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßßßßß ßßßßßßß ßßßßßß ßßß ßßß ßß ßßßßßßß ßßß ßßßß ßßßßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßß ßßßßßß ßß ßß ßßßßßß ßßßßß ßß ßß ßß ßßßßß ßßßßßßß ^CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED ~If you want to advertise here, contact the editor! #ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ^Sabotage and Social Engineering Monthly is looking for writers, couriers, and distrobution sites.
