Email From Idiots
By running this site I get a lot of email. And believe it or not, I actually answer almost all of it. The only ones that I don’t answer are the ones that are so moronic that I can’t think of a nice way to reply to them. I don’t mean just “dumb questions” either, I’m talking about stuff that makes absolutely no fucking sense at all. Rather than just delete it like I always have, I’m going to start archiving it here.
I’ve completely removed the name from these first emails because of insistant begging from the guy who wrote them. I hope this makes him happy…

Hi there I would like to ask you to kindly remove my post from,
http://phonelosers.org/article_recording_telephone_calls.html
I know this may seem like an odd request but I would really apperciate it.
I think you will find the post pretty much harmless they read
01/26/04 - ********* from i m not an idiot: i havent been able to
find a program for your modem that does’t record tons of interference!
01/31/04 - ***** from *******: wow modemspy reallly works good, no interference! I
would suggest trying this instead of call corder. thanks rusty
I’m sure you understand. This is in no way some legal tactic,
I just don’t want my post out there.
Thank You!

I really don’t get this one…several months ago he posted a few very normal messages on the recording phone calls page and now he suddenly “doesn’t want his post out there.” I replied to him that no, in fact I didn’t understand. But I removed the posts for him anyway. Here’s another email I received from him, several weeks after putting his first email on this page:
Date: Sat 4/23/2005 3:54 PM:
Subject: Come on man
Thanks for deleteing my post but did you really have to but me in the email from idiots? I thought you might because it was a strange request but I figured you’d be a bit more nice than that. I guess it was stupid to say “I’m sure you understand”, cause I guess you don’t. I can’t say why I wanted them deleted, I have my reasons. So I am guessing you will decline but I am asking you to please to delete my last email from your site and refrain from adding this one. I’m just asking you to show a little kindness. I never meant to aggervate you or be an asshole, so I don’t see why you would be one towards me. Oh well, thanks for reading this.

And then one last email (so far):
Date: Mon 5/30/2005 11:46 AM
Subject: “Email From Idiots”
I’m asking you to do me the simple favor of removing my email from “Email From Idiots” and refrain from adding this one. I don’t believe I have treated you with any disrespect and don’t see why you would return any in my direction. I am using a disposable email so it may be hard for me to get your responce but please just do me this favor. Thanks for at least listening.

this is in response to the message you posted regarding the molestation and sodomisiation of your children and pet gerbils…i wonder what someone could be going through to post such a sick and disturbing message…maybe you need to up your medication and see a psychiatrist, because there is obviously something seriously wrong with your brain
i hope you take all this into consideration take my suggestion and erease the nasty message you posted….

I have no idea what this guy is going on about. I emailed this guy back, asking where he saw these posts from me, but he never responded.
In an old PLA issue, I wrote a fictional piece about phone phreaking. The entire thing was obviously fake. At one point I wrote about a code you could type into any pay phone that would cause all the money in the phone to pour out of the coin slot. People have believed this for years now and I used to get a lot of emails regarding the subject. Here is the latest one:

Dear Mr. RBCP,
I was on your website a while ago and there was a an article about
making a beige box. Right below that article there was a thing talking about
if you put a quarter into a bell phone and press a couple of buttons it will
empty out the phone. Of course after i found the article i closed it out
thinking i will be able to find it again but i couldn’t. could you tell me
what the code is.
ps. please don’t put me in the emails from idiots

I’m guessing that email was in response to the clip they saw on Tech TV, which can be found on our press page.

The following three emails are from concerned users who decided to read old PLA issues on our website. Back in 1998, when they went to the page that contained the issues, a window popped up which said this:
“You are about to read the issues of PLA. Some people have told me that they consider this stuff really bad. I mean, really really bad. Like, if you read the issues that are linked from this page, you might not go to heaven. The topics in the following issues show you how to do truely evil things with your life at the expense of innocent others. This information is, of course, for informational purposes and we do not expect you to actually try anything that is outlined in any PLA issue. If you understand all of this, then click the button below.”
When the user clicked on the ACCEPT button, they saw this message: “Thanks! You have just e-mailed me the name, phone number and password from your ISPs records. Hope you didnt give real info.”
If the user then frantically clicked on the CANCEL button, they saw this: “Too late, you are screwed! Better find a new provider and change your phone number. Hahahaha.”
Of course it was just a joke. But many people took it seriously and wrote some really nasty emails to me.

I mean, click on “I understand” to willingly absolve y’all of any guilt by association, and you pull that cheap java script trick…. not nice.. even if it’s bogus to rattle the paranoid.
Irritated me sufficiently I couldn’t ignore the busted links and wandered off before I could see if you were merely recycling old issues of Phrack.

Hey, how’s it goin? I was just at the “back issusues” part of your site, and I clicked the disclaimer agreement. “Oh, shit! He’s got me name, phone number and password now! He’s got to be fucking joking. Quick, quick, hit no! Oh, no. This sucks hard. god damn. I gotta change my password, and quick. Oh, shit! my ISP’s site is down. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. Whew, okay, calm down. Take your valium and call the ISP. God Damn! They’re not open sundays! Jesus. Alright, call *Name Witheld*. He’ll know whether it’s real or not. Shit. his phones busy. I’m really screwed now.” I think you get the idea. I eventually got through to *Name Witheld* and he calmed me down an told me it wasn’t real. Now I feel like a dumbass. Oh well.

Subject: What just happened here?!?!?!?
Upon entering your “View Pla Issues” section something came up and said it took my password, address, etc., after i aggreed not to hold pla responsible for the material in the issues. I have contributed to PLA’s phone book in the past, under this name and “B CLOS SUX.” Now, why am I getting bothered with this? I am not a Hacker, or computer genius as such- I am a Phone Loser. My whole lifes objective is to make peoples lives miserable over the phone and I’m just here to trade info and stories on pranks, ok?
Thanx,

Hello,
I recently visited PLA, very insightful, not ! My friend who is a hacker
told me it ruled, that it was better than Cheese on toast, Bullshit, I
don’t mean to be rude but I have had the internet for about 3 years now,
and I may have no life because I’m sucked in to the incessant well of my
PC, but your site just doesn’t cut it. It lacked 3 or more major things,
a style, not a classy style necessarily, but not any style. It lacked
distinction and uniqueness, and it lacked direction, get a grip on
reality.
Yours Sincerely Carly Jones

RDCP:
My name is DiGiV3RsE. I’ve been a phreaking and known of the PLA for quite awhile. I live in Waco, yes it sux, yes we prank the people in the Branch Davidian, and charge all our long distance calls to them. I am writing the Phone Losers of America Phone book. It consists of phone # ’s of buisnesses, Pay phones, & a Loser list. I want it too be hugh so the members of PLA will NEVER be bored. It will be published, and printed. I’ve already tooken the liberty of taking #’s out of your Bored Article. If you have any more that you wwould want to be in the Phone book let me know. They will be $8.50 a peice or 15 for $80. If you would like one write me and send check/money order to:
DiGiVeRsE Technology
7527 Rock Creek Rd.
Waco, TX 76708
P.S. Let everyone know about them please!

So you want to make money by using the PLA name, using numbers out of PLA issues and charge ME for it? And to top it off you’d like me to advertise for you so you can make lots of money? Okay! The check is in the mail!
Just a few things, PLA isn’t a group - it’s an old e-zine that isn’t published anymore. I store the back issues on my web site with other interesting things. There are no “members” as you call them. Also on the web site is PLA’s Quarterly Phone Directory which is a phonebook released 2-4 times a year which offers all of the numbers for free so if you actually convince someone to pay for your list of phone numbers then you’re one hell of a salesman. And thirdly, people usually don’t take kindly to others stealing their hard work and trying to make money off of it so next time you do it, try doing it behind their back.

First, you have alot of room to talk considering YOU are providing tapes for
$7 of you prank calling people. Making money off their INCONVIENENCE! WhoA!
Thats alot more noble than putting out a PUBLISHED BOOK.
Second, the publishing/printing cost are EXACTLY $8.50, I AM MAKING NO CASH!
ZERO! The only reason I offer the 10 for $80 deal is because I can come up
with the difference. I am trying to offer a pocket phonebook of #’s that
people often prank call/phreak/hack/etc.
I am just trying to help the scene considering it’s dumbasses that live in
Corpus Christi that our ruining the scene, So I’ll take out YOUR ‘SHIT’. Sorry
for your inconvienence.

Oh, please don’t cry, it’ll be okay. Making a directory is fine with me and using all of the numbers out of the latest PLA directory is cool too, but next time ask before you use a copyrighted name in work that you plan to sell, whether you’re making a profit or not. And who are these dumbasses in Corpus? Me & Colleen haven’t lived anywhere near Texas for over three years now. Get with it, kid.
