- jlgaddis 11y agoNow that brings back memories! "Who were you talking to in Pennsylvania for four hours in the middle of the night for a week!?"
- cromwellian 11y agoThat's when you start phreaking. Then you learn to deal with your mom bursting in the room when you get a letter from the phone company investigating wire fraud.
- strictnein 11y agoTook me a while to convince my mother that the credit card generator that I used for "free" accounts was actually just part of a video game I was playing. She found a print out of some fake AMEX numbers and was not pleased.
- wil421 11y agoBrings back memories of using CC generators to call 1-900 numbers for free or pay for random services online. I still dont know how I never got in trouble. We also used keygens so we could play online games online for free with a burned disc (or to play over LAN).
- 300bps 11y agoHappened to me in 1985. Racked up a $350 phone bill in one month using my Mitey Mo 300 bps modem. Parents took the modem for a month. Then I fixed the problem by finding some long distance company's calling card access numbers (Sprint, MCI) and had the Commodore 64 my BBS ran on hack them out every night between 2 am and 6 am. I would get about a dozen codes per night.
