I'd say the second half is probably false. I wouldn't doubt that somebody managed to find a weird number where the owners were evasive, but this sound a lot like "My uncle works at Nintendo and he told me there's a secret level if you can get Mario to jump into the sun". If the number was such a big secret, how did his uncle, working at a random federal agency, find out what it is? Need to know should have kept it from the uncle, and goddamn common sense (and the threat of prosecution) should have prevented him from blabbing to his idiot phreaker nephew. Edit: this guy watched too much X-Files as a kid. Replace the caller with Mulder and the uncle with A.D. Skinner, you've got something straight out of an episode.
