IN BIG SECRETS VOLUME 2 WE WILL BE
|
|
TALKING ABOUT: THE VOID POP UP,
|
|
THE MAGNETIC STRIP ON CREDIT CARDS,
|
|
AND THE POST OFFICE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> THE VOID POP UP <
|
|
>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<
|
|
|
|
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU XEROX SOMETHING
|
|
YOUR NOT SPOSED TO? LIKE MONEY,
|
|
STOCK CERTIFICATE, OR CUPONS...WELL
|
|
THE COPY USUALLY COMES OUT ALL YUCKY
|
|
HUH? BUT...IF YOU USE A GOOD COLOR
|
|
COPIER YOU CAN USALLY PRODUCE A GOOD
|
|
, CONVINCING COUNTERIFT.
|
|
|
|
THE VOID POP UP IS WHAT TRIES TO
|
|
STOP ALL THIS FROM BEING DONE. ITS
|
|
A SECRET GIMMICK MADE TO WASTE ALL
|
|
US COUNTERFITERS. WHEN THE DOCUMENT
|
|
IS COPIED THAT CONTAINS THIS GIMMICK
|
|
A BIG 'VOID' WILL POP UP. THE VOID IS
|
|
HARD TO SEE, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO USE
|
|
IT THINK THAT IT MUST TAKE ALOT MORE
|
|
GUTS TO PASS AROUND IT EVEN WITH A
|
|
HARD TO SEE VOID THEN WITHOUT IT.
|
|
|
|
THE AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY
|
|
INVENTED THIS VOID POP UP DEAL, BUT
|
|
THEY DIDNT PATTEN IT. SO EVENYONE
|
|
DECIDED TO USE IT THEMSLEVES. ITS
|
|
BECOME A COMMON SECURITY DEVICE
|
|
FOR MOST MEDIUMS...LIKE KENTUCKY
|
|
FRIED CHICKEN, BANKS AND OTHER THINGS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE VOID POP UP USES A SCREEN - SOME
|
|
DOTS THAT ONLY APPEAR AS A GREY
|
|
PASTEL SHADE. THE ONLY THING THAT
|
|
SHOWS A DIFFERENCE IS HOW DARK THE
|
|
GREY IS. BUT IT DEPENDS, THE BIGGER
|
|
THE AREA THE 'VOID' POP UP COVERS
|
|
THE DARKER THE GREY.
|
|
|
|
TWO SCREENS COULD LOOK DIFFERNT FROM
|
|
THE HUMAN EYE, ONLY BECUASE THEY
|
|
GREY WAS PUT ON TOP OF ANOTHER COLOR
|
|
OR BY ANOTHER COLOR.
|
|
|
|
ONE OF THE SCREEN PRINTS THE 'VOID'
|
|
AND THE OTHER MAKES THE BACKROUND FOR
|
|
THE LETTERS TO SHOW UP ON.
|
|
|
|
SEE, A XEROX MACHINE SEES DIFFERNTLY
|
|
THEN A HUMAN EYE DOES. ONE OF THE
|
|
SCREENS IS CHOOSEN SO THE CONFIG. DOTS
|
|
WILL BLEED TOGETHER WHEN COPIED. THE
|
|
SCREEN COMES OUT DAKRER AND IN DIFFER
|
|
QUALITY, LEAVING THE 'VOID' VISIBLE.
|
|
|
|
BUT WAIT, THE SYSTEM IS NOT FOOLPROOF,
|
|
BECUASE COPIERS VARY. SO THE VOID
|
|
IS SHOWN CLEARLY ON SOME MACHINES AND
|
|
HARDLY NOTICLABLE ON OTHERS.
|
|
OCCASIONALY YOU CAN SEE A FAINT VOID
|
|
ON THE ORIGINAL. SO THE POOR PEOPLE
|
|
WHO DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT CAN GET
|
|
IN TROUBLE FOR NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING
|
|
|
|
. THERE ARE SOME SCREEN ATTACHMENTS
|
|
FOR SOME COPIERS WHICH WILL DEFEAT
|
|
THE VOID POP UP SYSTEM, THEY WILL MAKE
|
|
A CLEAN COPY. THIS IS BAD FOR THE
|
|
PEOPLE THAT USE THE VOID POP UP
|
|
TECHNIQUE, BECUZ IN THE FUTURE THE
|
|
COPIERS WILL JUSTGET BETTER AND BETTER
|
|
WHICH MEANS THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO
|
|
COME UP WITH A NEW IDEA TO DEFEAT
|
|
THEM. HA! THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TOO
|
|
SO THEY ARE NOT IN TROBULE THEY CAN
|
|
STILL FIND WAYS TO STOP ILLICT PHOTO
|
|
COPYING. THE 'PROSPECTS/NEW BOOK NEWS'
|
|
IS A NEW YORK NEWSLETTER, IT IS
|
|
PRINITED ON RED PAPER. RED SHOWS UP
|
|
NEARLY BLACK ON BLACK-AND-WHITE
|
|
PHOTO COPIERS SO IT WOULD BE QUITE
|
|
HARD TO READ HUH? BUT 'PROSPECTS' COUL
|
|
D
|
|
BE COPIED ON A COLOR COPIER, AND THE
|
|
BLACK-N-WHITE MACHINES THAT HAVE RED
|
|
FILTERS.
|
|
|
|
A LIGHT BLUE WILL NOT SHOW UP ON
|
|
COPIERS THO SO IN ALOT OF PUBLICATIONS
|
|
THEY WILL NOW USE A TYPE OF LIGHT BLUE
|
|
PEN TO WRITE IN.
|
|
|
|
HERES WHAT COMPUTERWORLD SAID ABOUT
|
|
THE LIGHT BLUE PRINT:
|
|
|
|
THE DINERS CLUB, WHOSE ACCOUNTINMG
|
|
SYSTEM HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY PEOPLE
|
|
TRYING TO KEEP THIER ACCOUNTS STRAIGHT
|
|
HAS FOUDN AWAY TO KEEP THE COMPLAINT
|
|
LEVEL DOWN -- ESPECIALLY THE KIND
|
|
THAT ARE COPIED TO VARIOUS FEDREL
|
|
AND STATE AUTHORITIES. IT WONT
|
|
STOP THE COMPLAINTS ENTIRLY BUT WILL
|
|
REDUCE THEEFECTIVNESS IN MANY CASES.
|
|
|
|
WHAT THE DINERS CLUB DID WAS REDISIGN
|
|
THE FORMS, PRINITNG MUCH OF THE
|
|
DATA IN A NON-REPRODDUCTING BLUE. AS
|
|
A RESULT, AFTER IT WAS STUCK IN THE
|
|
COPY MACHINE THE OUTPUT IS UNREADABLE,
|
|
|
|
AND CERTAINLY NOT VERY EASY TO READ
|
|
BY THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO!
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUT ACCORDING TO HE DINERS CLUB THE
|
|
LIGHT BLUE WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE,
|
|
THE LOGO WAS BLUE.
|
|
|
|
> THE POST OFFICE <
|
|
>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<
|
|
|
|
DID YOU REALIZE THAT THE POST OFFICE
|
|
IS NOW RUN BY COMPUTERS, NOT ALL
|
|
OF IT BUT ALOT OF PARTS. COMPUTERS
|
|
NOW CHECK TO MAKE SURE A STAMP IS
|
|
THERE, THEY DO THE STAMPING AND ALL
|
|
THAT..TERRIBLE HUH?
|
|
|
|
WELL NO, ITS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD FER
|
|
US, SEE THE COMPUTER HERE ONLY KNOWS
|
|
HOW MANY STAMPS SHOULD BE PUT ON THE
|
|
PACKAGE OR LETTER BY HOW MUCH IT
|
|
WEIGHS, SO YOU SAY BIG DEAL?! WELL
|
|
SEE THAT IS *ALL* IT KNOWS, WHICH
|
|
MEANS YOU CAN PUT A ONCE CENT STAMP
|
|
ON YOUR LETTER AND BE SURE TO DROP IT
|
|
DIRECTLY INTO A U.S. MAIL BOX, THE
|
|
GUY WILL COME AND PICK THEM UP AND
|
|
DROP THEM IN THE LETTER BIN...THERE
|
|
THEY ARE WEIGHED AND SENT DOWN INTO
|
|
THE COMPUTER AND THAT WILL STAMP THEM
|
|
AND ALL THAT. WELL THE COMPUTER DOES
|
|
NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
|
|
5 CENT STAMP, 1 CENT STAMP , OR
|
|
20 CENT STAMP, IT JUST MAKES SURE ONE
|
|
IS THERE AND IF SO STAMPS IT.
|
|
|
|
SO JUST THINK IF THE ENTIRE P.O
|
|
IS SOMEDAY RUN BY COMPUTERS HOW EASY
|
|
IT WILL BE TO GET YOUR LETTERS PALCES.
|
|
|
|
BUT FER THE TIME BEING YOU CAN USE
|
|
THAT TECHNIQUE AND HERE ARE A FEW
|
|
OTHERS:
|
|
|
|
1) PUTTING THE RETURN ADDRESS OF THE
|
|
PERSON YOU ARE MAILING IT TO AS
|
|
I MEAN ON THE RETURN ADDRESS THING
|
|
IN THE TOP CORNER, THEN MAKE UP A
|
|
ADDRESS FOR THE SEND TO: PART,
|
|
DONT PUT A STAMP ON IT DROP IT IN
|
|
A U.S. BOX AND THE PERSON WHO
|
|
HAD THEIR RETURN ADDRESS THIER WILL
|
|
GET IT.
|
|
|
|
2) PUTTING A COAT OF THIN GLUE OR
|
|
SOMETHING LIEK THAT OVER THE STAMP
|
|
WILL MAKE IT REUSABLE, WHEN STAMPED
|
|
IT WILL HIT THE GLUE, WASH IT OFF
|
|
WITH WARM WATER AND POOF! A NEW
|
|
STAMP.
|
|
|
|
3) THIS IS THE SLOWEST WAY OF ALL BUT
|
|
ITWORKS, OUR GOVERMENT HAS MADE
|
|
A DEAL WITH THE HANDICAPPED THAT
|
|
THEY WILL SEND THIER LETTERS 3RD
|
|
CLASS FOR FREE, AND THEY DO THAT!
|
|
JUST PUT 'MATTER FOR THE
|
|
HANDICAPPED' OR SOMETHING WHERE THE
|
|
STAMP BELONGS.
|
|
|
|
> THE CREDIT CARE - MAGNETIC STRIP <
|
|
>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<
|
|
|
|
HERE IS ONE MORE OF THE SECURITY
|
|
DEVICES ONA CREDITCARD, THE MAGNETIC
|
|
STRIP. MOST PEOPLE THINK THERE ARE
|
|
ALL THESE PERSONAL DETAILS AND STUFF
|
|
ON THE MAGNETIC STRIP. BUT THE
|
|
MAGNETIC HAS NO MORE INFO THEN A
|
|
BLANK TAPE.
|
|
|
|
THE STRIP NEED NOT CONTAIN ANY
|
|
INFO EXCEPT FOR THE ACCOUNT NUMBER
|
|
OR SIMILAR ID. WITH THE ACCOUNT NUMBER
|
|
THE COMPUTER CAN JUST BE CALLED UP
|
|
AND INFO BE TAKEN OUT...SO THERE IS
|
|
NO NEED TO PUT IT ON THE STRIP.
|
|
|
|
ALSO, THE EXPERATION DATE IS ON THE
|
|
STRIP. EXPIRED CARDS ARE 'EATEN' BY
|
|
AUTO-TELLER MACHINES EVEN WHEN THE
|
|
EXPIRED CARD HAS THE SAME ACCOUNT #
|
|
AND NAME AS ITS REPLACMENT CARD.
|
|
CREDIT LINIT, ADDRESS, PHONE #,
|
|
EMPLOYER, ETC.. MUST NOT BE INDICATED
|
|
IN THE STRIP, FOR BANKS DO NOT
|
|
GIVE OUT NEW CARDS JUST CUZ THIS
|
|
INFO CHANGES. MANY TELLERS HAVE A
|
|
SPEICAL SECRET THING WHERE IF THE
|
|
WRONG NUMBER IS ENTERD MORE THEN
|
|
3 TIMES THE CARD IS 'EATEN' BY THE
|
|
TELLER MACHINE, BECUASE IT THINKS
|
|
THE GUY IS A CROOK.
|
|
|
|
IT IS POSSIBLE TO SCRAMBLE THE INFO
|
|
ON THE BACK OFTHE CARD BY RUBBING A
|
|
MAGNET OVER IT.
