-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
What is ICST?
|
||
|
||
ICST stands for Intra-Company Stock Transfer. This is the method of
|
||
merchandise delivery between different stores in the chain. An example
|
||
of how this works is suppose you go to store A wanting to buy a VGM-300
|
||
VGA Monitor and it is not in stock. They will then try to call local
|
||
stores to locate your merchandise, which can be anything from a capacitor
|
||
all the way to a stereo system or a Tandy 5000 Personal Computer. So you
|
||
can see the potential here, eh kiddies :)! Upon calling, the employee
|
||
at store A discovers that store B does have the merchandise and will
|
||
be able to pick it up for sale to the customer.
|
||
|
||
Preliminary work.
|
||
|
||
In order to make things happen, you will need to obtain the store's
|
||
confidential phone directory listing. The most efficient way is to make
|
||
friends with a dishonest and disgruntled Radio Shack employee and get him
|
||
free 'gifts' in exchange for the information. Another method is to have
|
||
an extra friend go in the store and have a couple guys keep the employees
|
||
busy, then have one guy lift the phone directory, which will be in the
|
||
form of a computer printout on either the counter next to the cash
|
||
register, or near the store FAX machine.
|
||
|
||
You will know you have struck paydirt when you retrieve a document
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
Here is a breakdown of the store codes as it pertains to the
|
||
company:
|
||
|
||
01 stores: The 'normal' run of the mill Radio Shacks. They are
|
||
allowed to sell stereo, tv, vcr, electronics, etc. They also
|
||
do carry the low end computer models. The 01's CAN'T sell **ANY**
|
||
386 based models, i.e. 4000 and 5000 families, VGA monitors,
|
||
FAX machines, laser printers, etc.
|
||
|
||
01Z stores: Basically they are a support store out in the middle
|
||
of BFE [that is Butt Fucking Egypt, for those of you unfamiliar with
|
||
the term], these "special" stores are allowed to carry the same
|
||
merchandise as the 11 stores, but in far less volume. They are
|
||
good to use as destinations when scamming.
|
||
|
||
11 stores: This is the good 'ol Radio Shack Computer Center. These
|
||
stores are allowed to sell ALL Radio Shack computer lines from
|
||
1000-5000, FAX machines, printers in 9,24 pin, color, laser, laptops,
|
||
and all monitors from mono-VGA.
|
||
|
||
This information is VERY crucial to making the sting work, because
|
||
this could lead to obvious fuckups and a demise of your civilian life if
|
||
you did something VERY lame, such as say that you are coming from an 01
|
||
store and need a Tandy 4025. This would sound VERY bad because you are
|
||
selling merchandise you are NOT allowed to stock!
|
||
|
||
Setting up the sting.
|
||
|
||
The initial planning stages are important. In these stages, you will
|
||
merely pick up your Radio Shack catalogue and select your merchandise.
|
||
It is also useful to save the flyers in the Sunday sections of major
|
||
city newspapers as when merchandise is on a big sale, it is easier to
|
||
obtain and they will think a lot less than if it was at full market price.
|
||
Also, make up a fake alias. The White Pages provide a good source for
|
||
real sounding names. You may also wish to consult popular writers, such
|
||
as Piers Anthony and steal a character name [we once used Randy Flagg].
|
||
However we used a 'calling card' always. We always used names like Robert
|
||
Smith, Roger Schwartz, Randy Switzer, etc. Get it? They ALL have the
|
||
initial R.S = Radio Shack. Cute, eh?
|
||
|
||
Making the Telephone Call.
|
||
|
||
Ok, so now you have the necessary information in names, numbers, and
|
||
parts. It is ALL social engineering from this point out. If you are
|
||
young, do NOT attempt this, because I have NEVER seen a Rad Shacker
|
||
younger than 16 in a store, and NEVER younger than 18 in a Computer
|
||
Center. This portion of the scam is what I call the 'make it or break
|
||
it' section. Here are a few details to keep in your mind:
|
||
|
||
+ Respect the man/woman on the telephone. Remember: The
|
||
person IS a coworker!
|
||
|
||
+ The customer is ANXIOUS and has CASH!
|
||
|
||
+ You have just started working about 2 weeks ago for the company,
|
||
and this is your first major chance at a GOOD commision.
|
||
|
||
+ The customer will KILL if he doesn't have this item TODAY!
|
||
|
||
+ [if the chips get down] This is a REPEAT customer!
|
||
|
||
Here is a sample dialogue for the telephone call:
|
||
|
||
RS: "Good morning. Radio Shack. Dave speaking."
|
||
|
||
YOU: "Hello Dave, this is <Fake first name> from the store at
|
||
<location>. How are you doing?" [Note: ALWAYS greet warmly!
|
||
then stab 'em in the back in a minute!]
|
||
|
||
RS: "Pretty well, <Fake first name>, can I help you with something?
|
||
|
||
YOU: "Yes, I have a repeat customer here who is interested in
|
||
purchasing the <product>, but we are out of stock currently, and
|
||
I have been calling all over the district this morning trying to
|
||
hunt this down. Do you have any in stock?"
|
||
|
||
RS: "Hold on, let me check"
|
||
|
||
3 minutes and 2 cups of coffee later...
|
||
|
||
RS: "Hello <Fake first name>?"
|
||
|
||
YOU: "Yes."
|
||
|
||
RS: "No. All we have is a floor demo in stock."
|
||
|
||
YOU: "But I have a REPEAT customer who has cash and needs the item
|
||
today. I have called the Computer Center at Noweheresville
|
||
and Fake City and they are out of stock. Is there any way
|
||
you could let your floor demo go?"
|
||
|
||
RS: "Well, ok, in that case I can make you a deal. About what time
|
||
can I expect you in?"
|
||
|
||
YOU: "In about 45 minutes-1 hour from now. I am expecting a client in
|
||
a few, so I am going to stay around here for a little bit."
|
||
|
||
RS: "Ok, see you when you get here, <Fake first name>, bye."
|
||
|
||
YOU: "Bye." <Hang>
|
||
|
||
Notes: NEVER take stores TOO close together. These guys DO get around.
|
||
If you take a store 2 miles down the road, they are like sisters and will
|
||
KNOW if a new employee just started etc. The best way is to take a store
|
||
about 10-15 miles away, but still within the locale.
|
||
|
||
Also, there ARE district managers and runners. Be alert for these types.
|
||
Here, the DM is a woman, usually males, however, they are the supervisors
|
||
for the whole area, and if you come waltzing in and they happen to be
|
||
around for some bullshit and see you, and don't know you [they KNOW and
|
||
MEET all hirees!], the shit may hit the fan quickly.
|
||
|
||
Keep your eyes peeled for all workers in the store, and make mental notes
|
||
when they are on the phone, etc. Always make sure you are in control
|
||
of the situation and pay attention to phone conversations. Also, walk
|
||
around like it is HOME. Don't be lame and be getting hard off of some
|
||
demo program etc, because after all, the SAME damn demo is running back
|
||
on the 4015 at your store.
|
||
|
||
Also, another thing to note is that you should choose malls if possible
|
||
because if something goes wrong it is a LOT easier to get lost amongst
|
||
the people, go in other stores, hide, and get to a getaway car.
|
||
|
||
Appearance.
|
||
|
||
As with any corporation, Tandy Corp, expects their employees to groom
|
||
themselves in a similar and presentable manner. Here is what they like
|
||
and dislike:
|
||
|
||
They are not crazy about facial hair. If men have neatly kept mustaches,
|
||
it is ok. ABSOLUTELY no beards, goatees etc.
|
||
|
||
Hair must be nicely trimmed, clean looking, no long hair.
|
||
|
||
No loud colors. The method of dress is standardized. What they like to
|
||
see are white shirts with long sleeves [no sleeve rolling, even in the
|
||
summer, remember you are going from an air conditioned store in an air
|
||
conditioned car to another air conditioned store...]. Nice stylish
|
||
conservative ties, especially solids. Dark trousers, especially black
|
||
or navy blue. Dark socks, black, brown, dark blue. And dark dress shoes,
|
||
neatly polished. Light grey shoes are acceptable too, NO loafer or
|
||
docksiders though.
|
||
|
||
Making the visit.
|
||
|
||
Ok, now you drive to the location where the sting is about to take place.
|
||
I best advise having 1-2 other team members along for backup purposes.
|
||
A standard method we used was to have one member go in as a 'customer'
|
||
and keep em busy by asking serious questions about high ticket items.]
|
||
Plus the other person can act as your 'security guard', watching for
|
||
trouble. It is a good idea for the other man to be wearing something
|
||
that can be altered unnoticingly to signal you that something is going
|
||
wrong and to GET THE HELL OUT. A good idea is a ballcap, which can be
|
||
taken off as the distress signal, put on backwards like a catcher, etc.
|
||
Another good idea is one of the waist pouches many people carry. Front
|
||
side, everything is ok, shifted to the back, they are wise, drop the
|
||
mission.
|
||
|
||
Once in the store, act calmly, warmly introduce yourself, and stand around
|
||
Strange things do happen, like once a woman came into the store I was at
|
||
and I had to help her with an item real fast, so I mean it is wise to
|
||
have good social engineering skills and basically, be a good bullshitter,
|
||
and if this happens, just say you work at another store, however Joe would
|
||
be pleased to help you. This saves your ass, plus puts more pressure on
|
||
him and he will want to get you out of there faster.
|
||
|
||
The next thing I used to do was start talking typical employee crap.
|
||
E.g. How long have you worked for the company?, Busy day? etc.
|
||
|
||
Plan A - Getting the goods.
|
||
|
||
Assuming all goes well, the guy will do one of three things. If you
|
||
catch him alone and the store is busy, with customers and your plants,
|
||
he will probably just say that he will take care of the paperwork later
|
||
and say your goodbyes.
|
||
|
||
The second option which is usual circumstances, is he will take you
|
||
in the back room, call up the ICST through the intra-store network,
|
||
and record the transaction electronically, then he will write out an ICST
|
||
form [paper] and give you one copy. It has been a while, but I believe
|
||
it is about 4-5 forms: sending store, receiving store, district manager,
|
||
and company. Then he will write all the pertinent information [product
|
||
name, stock number etc] and then you sign at the X at the bottom of the
|
||
form, pick up the merchandise and away you go, off in the sunset...
|
||
|
||
The third option is the dreaded verification. If you think he is acting
|
||
'smart' and may want to know more about you, ask to use the phone because
|
||
something about the product doesn't look right and you want to consult
|
||
your manager. In reality, call your friend sitting at the payphone and
|
||
then he is on, and say to the feeb at the store, "Yeah, Mr. Smith wants
|
||
to talk to you for a minute.", and it will clear up the bullshit.
|
||
|
||
Plan B - Escape.
|
||
|
||
At times things go wrong. Remember : It is NOT a crime unless you leave
|
||
the store with merchandise, therefore bail out if you have to. Once I was
|
||
in a predicament where he was about to call my manager to verify me. I
|
||
reacted brilliantly by standing around a minute while he was ringing up
|
||
an order, and saying to call my manager, and that I am just going to pull
|
||
my car up to the door. In reality, I scurried to my friend's car, laid
|
||
down, and he got the fuck out of there.
|
||
|
||
Another incidence is if you don't know stuff you should. The older
|
||
employees [even 50 miles away as we found out!] are friends and know
|
||
what manager is where and all the company gossip. A friend of mine was
|
||
in dressed bad [stripped shirt, wrong shoes..] and they were onto him
|
||
from the word 'go'. The guy started interrogating him about the manager
|
||
whom as we later learned, had transferred to a store 3 weeks before!
|
||
So, saying that he just talked to him, when he had been at a new
|
||
store for 3 weeks looked VERY bad. He said it was a long trip [60
|
||
miles approx...] and he was going next door to the restaurant for a
|
||
quick bite to eat. He got out and a guy tailed him out of the store.
|
||
He had to run across a major street, run down the block, jump over a
|
||
9 foot high concrete wall [in dress clothes mind you!], try haggling with
|
||
two black construction workers to sell him a pair of overalls, then run
|
||
behind the next strip mall. Meanwhile, my accomplice and I faked a
|
||
phone call, and we went behind the mall and split up. I went and gave
|
||
the in store man my jacket to conceal him and we went into a waterbed
|
||
store, meanwhile other friend sneaked around the parking lot and
|
||
retrieved my buddy's truck and got to the waterbed factory, and we got
|
||
the hell out.. And if that wasn't bad enough, a biker cop drove up to
|
||
the store while my friend was retrieving the vehicle. Wonder why? Hah!
|
||
|
||
Also, always have some fast cash handy, because you never know if you
|
||
may need to hail down a taxi etc real fast to throw them off the track.
|
||
|
||
Aftermath.
|
||
|
||
My suggestions are to pull about 2-3 good jobs in one day, then lay
|
||
low for at least 3 months. Word will not usually get around about the
|
||
scam until the ICST processing is done about a month later. However,
|
||
if you botched it, looked bad, had a close call - you can BET next
|
||
time those two stores do business, they will say what a klutz that
|
||
Bob Smith is. Then the manager from store A will say "Who the hell
|
||
is Bob Smith?". Then the jig is up, and the scam is out in the air and
|
||
they will want you.
|
||
|
||
Also, don't plan on hitting any stores where you may have to do
|
||
legitimate purchases within the next 6 months, because they WILL
|
||
remember you and some shit will hit the fan mighty fast.
|
||
|
||
Another good idea is to BURN all the boxes and paper work, plus remove
|
||
serial numbers from the merchandise just in case you might ever get
|
||
interrogated for something else, they don't have another charge
|
||
against you.
|
||
|
||
After all is said and done, put on your sysop shades, light up a
|
||
cigarette, kick up the radio and have fun with your new equipment...
