Nodes -- When you log on through CIS, you are going through a node. The node |
takes the form of 3 letters, designating the site of the computer through which |
you are connecting through Compuserve. An example would be "NYJ" (New York |
City). There are some special nodes you should know about, though. |
Tymnet - Anybody logging on through Tymnet will be assigned one of these |
nodes - QAI, QAJ, QAK, QAC, QAM, QAN, QAO, QCA, QCB, QCC, QCE, QCF, QCH. This |
cannot identify where you are calling from, just that you are logging in |
through the Tymnet network. |
Telenet - QBA, QBC, QBD, QBG, QBF, QEN, QEI, QEP. |
Also, another special node would be DB- (DBA, DBB, DBC, etc), which means |
that the user is logging on from Compuserve's Headquarters in Dublin. |
The way to tell what node somebody is in is by typing /UST on either CO mode |
on a SIG, or CB...the result is like this.... |
Job User Id Ch. Node Handle |
--- ---------- --- ---- ------ |
1) 12 70003,1295 17 CSG Red Leather |
2) 133 70006,1293 1s BAF Surf's Up! |
3) 69 76703,1211 Tlk BOO JOE CUFFS |
4) 22 70000,1959 30* DBA Pig |
Now, you can tell something specific about each of these four people based on |
the info given above. Red is in Columbus, Ohio, and is on Channel 17. She is |
also a Compuserve Employee. Surf is in Bakersfield, California, and is a |
Customer service personnel. He is also using /SCRamble. Joe is in Talk, is a |
sysop on a SIG, and is in Boston, Massachusetts. This is the format for Talk |
on CB. Pig is on talk in a SIG, and is a security personnel from Dublin, Ohio. |
The format for showing if somebody is in /Talk is different on a SIG than in |
regular CB. Also, the /SEN command is not implemented on CB. |
Have fun with this...hope it helps. Distribute the file however you want, |
but make sure the credits stay at the bottom. |

Fun with Automatic Tellers |
by |
+++The Mentor+++ |
Preface: This is not a particularly easy scam to pull off, as it |
requires either advanced hacking techniques (TRW or banks) or serious balls |
(trashing a private residence or outright breaking & entering), but it can |
be well worth your while to the tune of $500 (five hundred) a day. |
Laws that will be broken: Credit Fraud, Wire Fraud, Bank Fraud, Mail |
Fraud, Theft Over $200, Forgery, and possibly a few others in the course of |
setting the scheme up (rape and murder are optional, but recommended.) |
This all grew from an idea that Poltergeist had about a year ago be- |
fore he turned fed on Extasyy, and Cisban Evil Priest (Android Pope) and my- |
self were implementing it with great success before our untimely arrest and |
recruitment into the service of the State. It is risky, but no more so than |
some of the more elaborate carding routines floating around. |
The first step is to target your victim. The type person you are |
looking for is rich. Very rich. |
Now, don't go trying to hit on J.P. Getty or Johnny Carson or some- |
one who carries a high name recognition. This will just get you into trouble |
as everyone notices a famous person's name floating across their desk. |
Instead look for someone who owns a chain of hog feed stores or some- |
thing discreet like that. We targeted a gentleman who is quite active in the |
silver market, owning several mines in South Africa and not wanting this to |
be widely known (he had no desire to be picketed.) |
Next step, take out a p.o. box in this person's name. Extasyy wrote |
a good file on obtaining a box under a fake name, I don't know if it's still |
around. If not, there are several others out there. (Yeah, I know, this has |
already weeded out the weak of spirit. Anyone who has gotten this far without |
panic is probably going to get away with it.) |
Now comes the fun part, requiring some recon on your part. You need |
to know some fairly serious details about this person's bank dealings. |
1) Find out what bank he deals with mainly. This isn't too dif- |
ficult, as a quick run through his office trash will usually let |
you find deposit carbons, withdrawal receipts, or *anything* that |
has the bank name on it. |
2) Find out the account number(s) that he has at the bank. This can |
usually be found on the above-mentioned receipts. If not, you can |
get them in TRW (easier said than done) or you can con them out of |
a hassled bank teller over the phone (Use your imagination. Talk |
slowly and understandingly and give plausible excuses ["I work for |
his car dealership, we need to do a transfer into his account"].) |
2a) [optional] If you can, find out if he has an ATM (Automatic |
Teller) card. You don't need to know numbers or anything, just |
if a card exists. This can also be ascertained over the phone |
if you cajole properly. |
3) Armed with this information, go into action. |
a) Obtain some nice (ivory quality) stationary. It doesn't |
have to be engraved or anything, but a $5 or $10 invest- |
ment to put a letterhead with his initials or something |
on it couldn't hurt. But the most important thing is that |
it look good. |
b) Type a nice letter to the bank notifying them of your |
address change. Some banks have forms you have to fill out |
for that sort of thing, so you need to check with the bank |
first (anonymously, of course). You will have to have a |
good copy of his signature on hand to sign all forms and |
letters (again, trash his office). |
c) Call the bank to verify the new address. |
d) IMMEDIATELY upon verifying the change of address, send a |
second letter. If he already has an ATM card, request a |
second card with the business name engraved in it be sent |
for company use. If he doesn't have an ATM card, the let- |
ter should request one for account number xxxxxx. Ask for |
two cards, one with the wife's name, to add authenticity. |
