ten this exact same message a month ago, it seems reasonable, but I don't
care. I'm not about to do things for people on the phone identifying
themselves as anyone. I have no idea if they are who they say they are,
this is common sense. I don't belive in passing it on, if someone from
AT&T, GTE or NASA, FBI, DEA, etc.. called they have the power to do what
they want anyway why do they want to rely on me -Joe sixpack. If it is a
scam, let AT&T sort it out, they are the ones who have to pay the charges
for unautorized calls from my line anyway. If it is a scam I think I am
careful enough not to aid the con artists, many people out there are not and
they will suffer I could give a shit.

On the other end of the spectrum I may aid these conmen callers just to fuck
with the telecommunications giants who dick us over. I'm not paying for
charges to anywhere I did not call, that's there tough luck. If there
security is comprimised it's their problem.

Do the think you think you can not do
