A Short Background on TRW
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
|
||
TRW is a large data base in which company's and banks can run credit
|
||
checks on their customers.
|
||
|
||
Example: John Jones orders five-hundred dollars worth of stereo equipment
|
||
from the Joe Blow Electronic Distributtng Company. Well it could be that he
|
||
gave the company a phony credit card number, or doesn't have enough credit,
|
||
etc. Well they call up TRW and then run a check on him, TRW then lists his
|
||
card numbers (everything from Sears to Visa) and tells the numbers, credit,
|
||
when he lost it last (if he ever did) and then of course tells if he has had
|
||
any prior problems paying his bills.
|
||
|
||
I would also like to add that although TRW contains information on
|
||
millions of people, not every part of the country is served, although the major
|
||
areas are.. So if you hate someone and live in a small state, you probably
|
||
won't be able to order him those three-hundred pink toilet seats from K-Mart.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Logging on
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
To log on, you dial-up your local access number (or long-distance, what
|
||
ever turns you on) and wait for it to say "TRW" at this promt, you type either
|
||
an "A" or a "Ctrl-G" and it will say "circuit building in progress" it will
|
||
wait for a minute and then clear thescreen, now you will type one of the
|
||
following.
|
||
|
||
Tca1
|
||
Tca2
|
||
Tnj1
|
||
Tga1
|
||
|
||
This is to tell it what geographical area the customer is in, it really
|
||
doesn't matter which you use, because TRW will automatically switch when it
|
||
finds the record..
|
||
|
||
Next, you will type in the pswd and info on the person you are trying to
|
||
get credit info on: you type it in a format like this:
|
||
|
||
Rts Pswd Lname Fname ..., House number First letter of street name Zip <cr> now
|
||
you type CTRL S and 2 CTRL Q's here is what it looks like in real life:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ae: Dialing xxx-xxx-xxxx
|
||
|
||
(screen clear)
|
||
|
||
TRW ^G
|
||
|
||
circuit building in progress
|
||
|
||
(pause . . . screen clear)
|
||
|
||
Tca1
|
||
|
||
Rtc 3966785-cm5 Johnson David ..., 4567R56785
|
||
|
||
^s ^q ^q
|
||
|
||
Then it will wait for a few seconds and print out the file on him (if it can
|
||
locate one for the guy).
|
||
|
||
Note: You may have to PRESS RETURN when you first connect to get the systems
|
||
attention.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Obtaining Your Passwords
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
To obtain passwords, go down to your favorite bank or Sears store and dig
|
||
through the trash (hence the name trashing) looking for printouts, if they are
|
||
a big enough place, and live in a TRW area, then they will probably have some.
|
||
The printouts will have the seven digit subscriber code, leaving the three-four
|
||
digit password up to you. Much like trashing down at good old Ma Bell.
