In this file i will tell you how you can find out the persons name, age, address, which credit card they use, the card number and expiry date, what their license plate is, what car they drive, what bra size they are, what colour their toilet is and lots of other things just by using a little deception. Name +----+ In some cases people answer the phone like this "Hello, Dave speaking" or "Hi, Dave Smith" so it's fairly obvious what their name is. "Smith residence" and "Smith household" are both quite common. If they only tell you their first name and you want to know their surname say something like this: "Hi, it's Mike" "Umm do i know you?" "Yeah, is this Dave Jones?" "No this is Dave Smith, who are you?" Then you can take it further and ask more questions. But they may do this: "Hi, it's Mike" "Umm do i know you?" "Yeah, is this Dave Jones?" "I think you have dialled the wrong number" so you reply with: "Oh, then which Dave is this?" "This is Dave Smith" "Oh, OK, sorry about that" "No problemo, d00d" If you know their surname and want their first name, then it should go like this: "Hi, is this Frank Smith?" "No, this is Dave Smith" "Oh sorry" Or just ask them who you are speaking to. Age +---+ OK so you know their name, how do i find out their age i hear you scream, well try these: "Hi, this is Jimbob from Golden Oldies Pension Plan, you have qualified for our 65 plus pension plan, would you like me to tell you more about it?" "There must be a mistake, i'm only 24" "Oh, i'll update our database, sorry for the inconveniance" or that call may go like this: "Hi, this is Jimbob from Golden Oldies Pension Plan, you have qualified for our 65 plus pension plan, would you like me to tell you more about it?" "There must be a mistake, i'm not over 65 years old" "Oh, could you tell me how old you are and i'll update the database" "OK, i'm 24" "Right, thanks, sorry for the inconveniance, sir" Thats name and age, how about address? Address +-------+ Their address is usually quite simple to get out of them, the easiest way is to tell them that they have won something good and you need their address to send it to them. Try something like this: "Hi, is this Dave Smith? "Yes, this is Dave" "Well, i have some good news for you! You have won 3rd prize in our random lottery! "Brilliant! Whats the prize?" "£500 cash!" "How do i claim it?" "If you give me your address, we'll send it right away" "OK, it's 3 Elite Street, West Ham, London" "And your postcode?" "SE21 4PS" "Right, you'll recieve your prize within 28 days" Easy as that! Or try this one: "Hello, you have been selected in our random phone number quiz, would you like to take part?" "Sure, i'll give it a go" "OK, you have to answer 1 question correctly to win" "Righty ho" "The question is...who did England get knocked out by in the 1998 World Cup?" "Umm...Oh, i know this...errr..Argentina!" "Gee whizz, you must be a genius!" "Well,..i aim to please, heh, heh" "Whatever, anyway you have won £100 worth of HMV vouchers" "Wow! Cool!" "Can i have the address to send them to?" "Yep, it's 3 Elite Street, West Ham, London, SE21 4PS" "They'll be in the post, they should arrive within 28 days" Lets recap, you now have their name, age, address and phone number. Credit Card +-----------+ OK this is where it gets tricky, to find out which credit card they use you could try this: "Hello this is Tony Handcock from Barcleys Bank, Personal Credit section, we are currently doing a survey to find out the most popular credit card in England, could you answer one simple question?" "Sure" "Which credit card do you currently own?" "Visa Mastercard" "Thank you very much, sir" Now you know which card they have, you want their card number and expiry date. This next method nearly always works: "Hi, this is Frankie Bunn from Visa Mastercard, you card has been reported stolen, i am calling to assist you set up a new one" "There must be a mistake, i haven't reported my card stolen, its right here" "OK, there must be a mix up, i'll try to clear it up" "OK" "Can i have your card number?" "Yep 4030 537 253 167" "And the expiry date?" "6/99" "OK, your card is fine, there must have been a mix up, sorry for the inconveniance" We're doing quite well, aren't we? You should now have the persons name, age, address, phone number, credit card make, credit card number and expiry date. Car Details +-----------+ You might, for some reason, need to know details about their car, you should now have their address so you could go round there and see for yourself what car they drive and the registration number, but if they live too far away or you are a lazy, fat bastard then try this: "Hi, this is Jimmy Jim from Sunhill Police Station, is this Dave Smith? "Yes" "Your car was reported stolen earlier today" "Thats not right, it's in the drive!" "OK there may be a mistake, what make is your car?" "Porsche 9-11" "And the registration number?" "RP46 AFC" "OK i'll sort it out" "Thanks" Other Details +-------------+ Now you know everything you could possibly want to know about this unlucky person. What's that? You want to find out more about this person? Oh, ok then, one last idea which i think i read in a PLA file is to pretend to be a recorded survey by BT, their bank or whatever. You should prefrebly try this on older people, and if it works you have hit the jackpot. You need to use a steady, slightly mechanical voice. First say "Hello customer, this is BT's/Barcleys Bank's Automated Survey Recording, please clearly state your full name after the beep" Then press * or # and take note of their answer, go on to ask their address, age, credit card, number and expiry date, car model, registration number, and if you want to freak them out ask for their lovers name, bra size, the colour of their toilet and anything else you can think of. If they don't answer or hang up, keep phoning back until they participate. Just remember that you are a recording! Thats all for now! Peace out.
