grammer like that since first grade. As for his not busting people, isn't that
a laugh, he has already stated that he will bust anyone he can starting with
the lower level phreaks who are only into code abuse.]

Well you see I came very close to getting busted they called my voice line that
is TMC of 800 637 7377 and I have never given it out to anyone at all [I bet!]
so I knew that i was in for it they told me they knew I ran a board and they
said they could not get in I kept deleted them haha anyways I had 2 choices 1
take it down 2 get busted.
[Wonder how they got your home number Shawn? Did you give it out for
validation on Pirate-80? Maybe around the time of the "Bi-annual userlog
cleanup"? Or, could it be the cops are smart enough to ask the phone company
for any other line running into a house where a suspect BBS is running?]

Listen people... it is time to stop screwing with TMC.. (7377 number). Our
good friend Shawn of Phreakers Quest just had his BBS put down from them.
Shawn met some guy from TMC, and they have had ANI on the number for months
now. If you value your own security, throw away any and all TMC information
NOW, or you might be suffering the consequences later.
For details on the "Bust" call Theives Underground II. It's SCARY!

Where is Thieves Underground located?
[Why is Scan Man so interested in what Shawn is saying about his experience
with TMC? I mean plenty of people on Pirate-80 have run-ins with some form of
security everyday and he doesn't go researching them, why is this "TMC Run-IN"
so important to him? Maybe he has a personal reason to be interested, then
again maybe not.]

If you want some details why dont you just ask me seeing as though i would be
the one to ask the TU only knows what i tell him and scan man i need to talk
with you about this they did have an idea of some things going on here and so
one i would rather say it to yo then type it in
shawn

Indeed, what is going on here Shawn? Just what did TMC mention about
Pirate-80? And why not post it in on the public boards? For the answer to
that maybe one could talk to Jeff Namey who works for TMC and is very proud to
acclaim the efforts of one Scott Higgonbotham and his sting BBS Pirate 80 which
has, in his own words, "Saved my company from near bankruptcy at the hands of
the hackers."
It is also interesting to note that Scan Man recently admitted to being a
computer security consultant in Phrack Pro-Phile IV. He said his boss didn't
know about his outside phreak/hack interests.
