- FREE COMPUSERVE ACCESS
- ---- ---------- ------
-
- There are several ways you can go about getting CIS passwords. The
- ones with unlimited access are quite a bit harder but, first of all, the
- simplest to get are Radio Shack demo accounts. You can't do much but
- they are still kinda fun. Good for doing research.
-
- Use a one of the following scams or a variation to obtain Radio Shack
- demo accounts.
-
- #1
-
- Call one of your local Radio Shack stores and say, 'hi, this is
- _______ , i'm your compuserve sales rep., We are doing a update on our
- files, on all stores in the ______ area. Then, ask them a bunch of
- questions, like the manager's name, store location, store #, etc... If
- they tell ya this without any hesitation, then you've probably got
- yourself a demo account. After they tell ya all that, tell them that you
- will need their present user id that they are using to do demonstrations
- of compuserve. Then, the kicker, ask them the password. If they tell ya, then
- thank them, and tell them if they have any questions to call you at
- xxx-xxxx. Where xxx-xxxx is a number that is always busy. That should
- keep them from getting too suspicious.

- I use this one the most, because I started out with the previous
- method, and switched to this one because of all of the info. I had
- gathered about the stores in my area.
- Find out a manager's name of a particular store in your area, then
- call another store in the same area! Be friendly, and say, "hello, this is
- the manager of ______ and we can't seem to get our compuserve demo
- password to work and we have a customer here who would like to see a demo
- of the service. Would you mind giving us yours until we call our D.M. and
- find out what ours was changed to? As long as the two managers don't know
- each other, you will have a demo account. By the way, D.M. is an
- abbreviation that they use for district manager.
-
- Well, enough of this demo account Bullshit, once you have a demo
- account, log on to CIS. Go to the national user listing. Look at the
- users in your area. Write them down and then call information and get
- their phone numbers.
-
- Call them up and tell them you are ____ from CIS. Continue to tell
- them that because of a security breach, you are going to have to change
- their password. Tell them that in order to do so, you will need their
- user id and old password. Take it down, pretend you are typing on a
- terminal or something then tell them that it will be changed to _______
- make up an official sounding password. Now thank them and again, give them
- a busy number to call if they have questions...I find that compuserve's
- 800 number works good. (It's always busy anyway.)
-
- The third and final way I will discuss involves something more than
- talking on the phone. Go into your Radio Shack, pull a CIS package off of
- the wall. Rip open the pack, read and memorize the password. Walk out. I
- have been busted for shoplifting but never shopreading. When the initial
- hour runs out,use a credit card to gain a additional 2hrs. Of service.
-
- Have Fun!
-
- P.S. If all else fails, there is always 77770,101 free-demo or free:demo
- but that id is a total waste of time. Logon with it and see what I mean.
