------------------------- Fonebook Fun by: mechanic ------------------------- While extremly bored one night at about 3 or 4 in the moring... I decided to look over the few fonebooks for the 413 Greater Springfield area that I have... I have found that Nynex, is really fucking stupid, and you should never talk to telemarketers unless you are interested. þNynex's views on fraudulent calls: Fraudulent calls are subject to prosecution It is illegal for another person to charge any telephone services or long distance calls to your number or NYNEX Calling Card without your perm- ission, or to tamper with the facilities or equipment to avoid or alter authorized charges. [ mech note: really, could they make the wording sound any more difficult? it sounds like they don't even know what the hell they are talking about ] Persons placing such calls are subject to prosecution. In Massachusetts, those convicted are subject to imprisonment for up to 30 days or a fine of up to $100, or both. [ mech note: wow.. 30 days or $100... hrmm... oh well =] þNynex's views on wiretapping/call interception: Unlawful wiretapping is subject to prosecution It is a crime under federal and state law for any person, including a telephone subscriber, to wiretap or otherwise intercept a call, unless that person has first obtained the consent of one or both parties actually participating in the call. [ mech note: wow... i'm like, scared. "Honest ocifer, my scanner picked it up, i had nothing to do with it, i thought it was a weather channel". Or are they saying you can ask yourself before the call is answered by the person you are calling if you can record the call? or amplifiing it on your scanner to hear it better is a crime? figures... 9x = 0.] Properly authorized law enforcement officers can engage in interceptions without the consent of either party when proceeding under court orders issued pursuant to applicable provisions of federal law. [more garble, yech] Under federal law, the penalty for illegal wiretapping can be imprisonment for five years, a $10,000 fine, or both. [ ouch! ] þand in another part: "The last thing we want to do is turn off your telephone service." damn profiteering gluttons... dime-happy jews... "Did you know your NYNEX telephone directories can be recycled?" ummm... yea! I love to 86' em, recycle them into the circular file where they belong. "Never use your telephone when you're in the shower, bathtub, or swim- ming pool. You could get an electrical shock." Really? duh!?! i thought it was good for limb-regeneration. þHow to handle obscene, harassing, or threatening calls If you recieve obscene, harassing, or threatening calls, follow these suggestions to discourage such calls: [ hehehehehe =] 1. Hang up at the first obscene word or is the caller doesn'yt say anything the second time you say hello. (Don't slam the reciever down because this just tells the caller you are annoyed. Just hang up.) 2. Give no information such as your name and address until the caller has been identified. 3. Advise your children to give no information to strangers. If you're not home, they should say "Mother/Father can't come to the phone right now." [ now they're brainwashing the kids too.] 4. If calls persist contact our Annoyance Call Bureau at 1-800-640-2043. The trained counselors [ will just read you this list then act dumb- founded ] there will be able to [ not ] help you. Or you may wish to use NYNEX Call Trace Service [ wow.. sounds important and high-tech, too much for me ] (where available). See page 24 for additional information and charges. 5. If you are threatened over the telephone, call the police. [ yea, like the pigs really know what to do. ] It is a crime under both state and federal laws for anyone to make obscene or harassing phone calls. [ really?!?!? no shit. ] þNow, the harassment begins... fone numbers that are found to be fun in my fonebook.
