 Dear Mr. Atkinson:
 
  I wrote a check for $600 (of my diminishing SSI initial lump sum money) for
Bob Kresson, the head of Empire Investigation in Pittsburgh, after I tried find-
ing a lawyer in the yellow pages and they all said they don't do investigation
of illegal surveillance (and harassment, breaking and entering, etc.) but a couple
of them recommended Empire as a local place that might.  His office turned out
to sell coffee pots that are really cameras and such cr*p, etc...
  http://64.70.166.108/Merchant2/merchant.mv
 
  ...but he seemed to know how to check for illegal surveillance or such and
wanted to help, and I couldn't find anyone else who would of the managers or
police I'd gone to or by scouring the yellow pages and Internet search engines.
(He's advertised on the Internet as having expensive clients like the Jenny
Jones Show and people of the Fortune 500 list.)  He came to my apartment an-
nouncing himself at the front door security as an old friend there to check the
carpet (my place doesn't have carpeting).  He ran a box for a half an hour in
the middle of the day (though audio pranks were made to wake me up and
I'd been trying to sleep at night).  He said he found a stray radio signal but it
was "probably just an anomaly" and left.
 
  (I've since learned, from scouring the Internet for whatever I could learn
about TSCM that might help, that even the highest trained TSCM people,
with the best equipment, would need to literally tear the place apart to check
for anything that could be used to pull off the stunt being done to me.  It
wouldn't require anything that sent out a constant signal and could even be
passive, like an RFID tag.)
 
  (The Internet articles about his kind of place describe the Empire type of
guy as the cliche of the rip off guy with a device or service to sell you have
to watch out for.  There is no box, no matter how expensive, no matter how well-
trained the one using it, that could substitute for tearing the place apart with
a thorough inspection.  And neither he nor anyone else I've gone to has ever
done that or even just checked for a device with a non-linear junction detector
or such.)
 
  His interest in helping further diminished as my funds did.  He later re-
sponded to my E-mails by letting me bring him the tapes I'd made of some of the
sleep disturbance noises.  The 1st time he wasn't in during his posted hours,
and the 2nd time he left me in a room with a VCR with no time counter (he said
it had one but it didn't count the same way as commercial VCRs do; I already
felt I was getting the brush: what else would VCRs count in but hours, minutes,
and seconds?) and told me to find some examples of the disturbances I recorded
on one of the tapes while he stepped out for about ten minutes.  My eight hour
or so tapes were wound to the beginning and I had schedule sheets for them, so
normally I could fast forward to the sound intrusions, but this was futile and I
realized I was getting the brush-off, so I fiddled with it for a few minutes
then left.
 
                                   Truly,
 
                                   Glen T. Winstein

I recommend that someone drive a stake through the heart of a skinflints or chiselers... either literal, or figuratively.

How do suggest we handle the skinflints and chiselers?
 
<<Sweeps can follow the same lines where a customer needs a small team
of highly skilled people to perform a highly specialized service on
an emergency basis... AND they are willing to pay what you are
Worth... if you are really worth it.

Just something to ponder>>
