So, you're only 17 or 18 years old and damn, you sure could use a good six
pack of Bud. But, you know, your 23 year old friend happens to be out of town
and he is getting little tired of buying your beer. Why not get your own
driver's license and add a few years.
Well, there isn't any way you can just walk into the Department of
Licensing and say, "Give me a license." They'd sooner give you head! So, this
is what you do. Crank out six bucks and send away for a fake I.D. Tell them
your age (i.e., 21.) Send that I.D. to a house where nobody lives. Then, haul
out your birth certificate, and make a photcopy. White out your birthdate and
then type in your own. Make another photocopy. Voila! Fake birth certificate.
Now, go into the D.O.L. and lay down your I.D. and your birth certificate
and say, I need a driver's license. Of course, you will have to take a driver's
test (unless you only ask for a D.O.L. I.D.,) but when you are done, you have a
license you can use and abuse. If you get caught, show the fuzz your fake I.D.
Here's an address for obtaining a fake I.D.:
(Send a complete description and photo)
Carroll Studios
Box 29001T
Chicago, IL 60629
This place also has fake certificates (birth, divorce, college, high
school, baptismal, will, marriage, etc.) Have fun.

How To Create A New Indentity
By The Walking Glitch
Courtesy of the Jolly Roger!
You might be saying, "Hey Glitch, what do I need a new identity for?"
The answer is simple. You might want to go buy liquor somewhere, right?
You might want to go give the cops the false name when you get busted
so you keep your good name, eh? You might even want to use the new
identity for getting a P.O. Box for carding. Sure! You might even
want the stuff for renting yourself a VCR at some dickless loser of a
convenience store. Here we go:
Getting a new ID isn't always easy, no one said it would be. By following
these steps, any bozo can become a new bozo in a coupla weeks.

STEP 1
The first step is to find out who exactly you'll become. The
most secure way is to use someone's ID who doesn't use it themselves.
The people who fit that bill the best are dead. As an added bonus they
don't go complaining one bit. Go to the library and look
through old death notices. You have to find someone who was born about
the same time as you were, or better yet, a year or two older
so you can buy booze, etc. You should go back as far as you can for the
death because most states now cross index deaths to births so people
can't do this in the future. The cutoff date in Wisconsin is 1979, folks
in this grand state gotta look in 1978 or earlier. Anything earier there
is cool. Now, this is the hardest part if you're younger. Brats that
young happen to be quite resilient, takin' falls out of three story windows
and eating rat poison like its Easter candy, and not a scratch or
dent. There ain't many that die, so ya gotta look your ass off. Go
down to the library and look up all the death notices you can,
if it's on microfilm so much the better. You might have to go through
months of death notices though, but the results are well worth it.
You gotta get someone who died locally in most instances: the death
certificate is filed only in the county of death. Now you go down to
the county courthouse in the county where he died and get the
death certificate, this will cost you around $3-$5 depending on the state
you're in. Look at this hunk of paper, it could be your way to
vanish in a clould of smoke when the right time comes, like right after
that big scam. If You're lucky, the slobs parents signed him up with
social security when he was a snot nosed brat. That'll be another piece
of ID you can get. If not, thats ok too. It'll be listed on the death
certificate if he has one. If you're lucky, the stiff was born
locally and you can get his birth certificate right away.
STEP 2
Now check the place of birth on the death certificate, if it's in
the same place you standing now you're all set. If not, you can mail
away for one from that county but its a minor pain and it might
take a while to get, the librarian at the desk has listings of where
to write for this stuff and exactly how much it costs. Get the Birth
cirtificate, its worth the extra money to get it certified
because thats the only way some people will accept it for ID. When yur
gettin this stuff the little forms ask for the reason you want it,
instead of writing in "Fuck you", try putting in the word "Geneology".
They get this all the time. If the Death certificate looks good for
you, wait a day or so before getting the certified birth certificate
in case they recognize someone wanting it for a dead guy.
STEP 3
Now your cookin! You got your start and the next part's easy.
Crank out your old Dot matrix printer and run off some mailing labels
addressed to you at some phony address. Take the time to check your
phony address that there is such a place. Hotels that rent by the month
or large apartment buildings are good, be sure to get the right zip
code for the area. These are things that the cops might notice that
will trip you up. Grab some old junk mail and paste your new lables
on them. Now take them along with the birth certificate down to the library.
Get a new library card. If they ask you if you had one before say that
you really aren't sure because your family moved around alot when
you were a kid. Most libraries will allow you to use letters as a form
of ID when you get your card. If they want more give them a sob story

about how you were mugged and got your wallet stolen with all your
identification. Your card should be waiting for you in about two weeks.
Most libraries ask for two forms of ID, one can be your trusty Birth
Certificate, and they do allow letters addressed to you as a second
form.
STEP 4
Now you got a start, it isn't perfect yet, so let's continue. You should
have two forms of ID now. Throw away the old letters, or better yet
stuff them inside the wallet you intend to use with this stuff.
Go to the county courthouse and show them what nice ID you got and get
a state ID card. Now you got a picture ID. This will take about two weeks
and cost about $5, its well worth it.
STEP 5
If the death certificate had a social security number on it you can go
out and buy one of those metal SS# cards that they sell.
If it didn't, then you got all kinds of pretty ID that shows exactly
who you are. If you don't yet have an SS#, Go down and apply for one,
these are free but they could take five or six weeks to get,
Bureaucrats you know... You can invent a SS# too if ya like, but the motto
of 'THE WALKING GLITCH' has always been "Why not excellence?".
STEP 6
If you want to go whole hog you can now get a bank account in your new
name. If you plan to do alot of traveling then you can put alot
of money in the account and then say you lost the account book. After
you get the new book you take out all the cash. They'll hit you
with a slight charge and maybe tie-up your money some, but if you're
ever broke in some small town that bank book will keep you from being
thrown in jail as a vagrant.
ALL DONE?
So kiddies, you got ID for buying booze, but what else? In some towns
(the larger the more likely) the cops if they catch you for something
petty like shoplifting stuff under a certain dollar amount, will just
give you a ticket, same thing for pissing in the street. Thats it!
No fingerprints or nothing, just pay the fine (almost always over $100)
or appear in court. Of course they run a radio check on your ID, you'll
be clean and your alter-ego gets a blot on his record.
Your free and clear. Thats worth the price of the trouble you've gone
through right there. If your smart, you'll toss that ID away if this
happens, or better yet, tear off your picture and give the ID to someone
you don't like, maybe they'll get busted with it.
If you're a working stiff, here's a way to stretch your dollar. Go to work
for as long as it takes to get unemployment and then get yourself fired.
Go to work under the other name while your getting the unemployment.
With a couple of sets of ID, you can live like a king. These concepts
for survival in the new age come to you compliments of THE WALKING GLITCH.

WHO IS MIKE ENLOW?

THE STORY BEHIND ONE OF AMERICA'S FOREMOST PRIVATE


DETECTIVES--WHO CAN HELP YOU GET ALMOST ANYTHING ON ANYONE!

Copyright 1992 INTEC Investigative Technology

Congratulations:

You've made a wise move. You are about to get a taste


of the unique but most successful strategies of the master
Private Investigator, Mr. Michael Enlow, himself. He is
often referred to as the greatest private investigator in the
world! This free report and introductory presentation is
sweeping the country like a raging fire!

In case you didn't know, Private Investigators will


not share their investigative concepts. They are guarded
secrets; the cherished nuggets of gold that make them what
they are. I'm sure you're wondering why Mr. Enlow is doing
this. Well, frankly, it's because he, like you, has finally
reached the conclusion that our judicial system simply don't
work without a little help . . . crooks don't get what they
deserve without a little personal touch . . .

Perhaps we will let Mr. Enlow himself explain. We've


included excerpts from some of his writings. They are self
explanatory . . . it's time we protect our privacy and yet,
at the same time preserve our judicial system.

It all started back in 1976, when Mr. Enlow dropped out


of high school and ran away from home in hopes of making
fortunes in the "oil field." Well it didn't turn out quite
that way. The story that follows is a true one, and a
perfect example of how anyone with the will power can reach
their desires and goals. . .

"Where there's a will there's a way."


Michael E. Enlow

Dear Friend:

I'm at somewhat of a disadvantage. I'm a high school


dropout who failed english several times. If you are looking
for literary style--you may find my writing annoying,
confusing, and a bit outside of the ordinary." However, if
information is what you want... I'm your man.

You see,

information brokering, (investigating) was my specialty and


my retirement ticket that enabled me to retire at 34 years
old and make the contributions you are reading now. So, let's
get on with the story...

Unlike the average private investigator, I learned the


hard way. There's nothing like the nicks and bruises of
learning on your own. If I had to do it all over again, I
would do it just exactly the same.

It all started when I was just seventeen years old. I


was in a state of rebellion, not unlike many kids when they
leave the nest. I ran away from home with only two pair of
jeans and a couple of T-shirts. I hitch-hiked to Louisiana
and arrived in the swamps of south Louisiana around midnight
on a Wednesday night. I remember it all so well, even the
strange sounds I heard as I walked along the edge of the road
between two "Bayous." I honestly expected to be eaten by an
alligator before reaching my destination. No kiddin'!

Early the next morning, I found a job at a "labor camp."


A labor camp is a place where people who had little or no
money--people like me--could work for room and board.

I began working in "pipe yards" rolling three-ton pipes


along racks and onto forklifts. I was working at least 12
hours a day, and when I say work, I mean WORK. It was
nothing like the sheltered life I lived at home, but when I
left home I was determined to show everyone I could make it,
one way or another, and I wasn't about to quit.

However, after only three weeks I realized I wasn't


making any progress. Once the labor camp took money out for
my rent, meals, steel toe boots, hard hat, etc., I was only
clearing $35 to $40 a week! Can you believe that? I was
working twelve hour days, seven days a week, and I was
earning peanuts! Oh well! I knew there had to be a better
way, so I put my mind to work and decided to use one of my
"hidden talents" to better myself.

I struck off one Friday evening to "find help." I


dressed as best I could and walked to the nearest lounge.
Then, I really "went to work." It wasn't long until I saw
exactly what I was looking for. (Now, pardon me, and remember
we are talking about survival.) There she was, cute, well
built, and best of all, SHE HAD A CAR! (just what I needed
to get myself a better job). Well, later that evening I left
with her, and eventually made a home with her.

My new friend was going through a divorce and had a twoyear old daughter. (Later, I learned she was only 16 years
old, but, heck, I was only seventeen.) Her mother and dad
didn't like me at all, and they made it perfectly clear.

I used her car to find a better job. I became a "tackwelder," and boy, was I excited. I was making a whopping
$5.00 an hour. Somehow I just knew I was well on my way to
the top! A couple of weeks later I made friends with a
welder. He taught me his trade, and soon I increased my
income again.

Then, once again, I got a better job offer. This time


working on a dredge. By this time my girlfriend and I had
our own apartment and were slowly making progress toward
"being somebody." On the day we were to leave so that I
could get started with my new job, her dad was having an
outdoor garage sale. As I was fumbling through the usual
garage sale items (unpaired shoes, old vases, remnants of
fads gone bad, etc.) I noticed something unusual. There was
a small .25 caliber automatic pistol for sale! I had to have
it. I always had a fascination with guns.

Later that evening my little darling and I left to go to


the nearby city. Once we checked in the hotel, she asked me
to go to the vending machines to get a cold drink. I left
the room and all hell broke loose. Suddenly, police surround
me with bright lights and pistols drawn, screaming, "FREEZE!
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!" They immediately searched me and "lo
and behold" what did they find in my coat pocket but my new
unloaded .25 caliber automatic pistol. (This made me out to
be a certain criminal.)

The police booked me at the local sheriff's office with

a variety of charges, including carrying a concealed weapon.


I discovered that "Cutie's" dad REALLY DIDN'T LIKE ME! He had
set fire to our apartment, damaged my roommate's car, set me
up with the gun, and told the cops that I "ran off" with his
"minor child."

Well, I paid my fine in the first parish for "carrying a


concealed weapon." Extradition proceedings then commenced to
take me back to the parish where we had been living to face
the other host of charges.

I refused to allow the court to appoint me an "indigent


defense" lawyer, and told the Judge, "I will represent
myself."

Well, if any of you have ever had any dealings

with Louisiana law, you know they are very different from any
other state in the U.S. Remember this! You'll see that I
had a lot to learn about the "Bayou Country."

I called my dad and told him of my predicament. He


said, "Well son, you got in trouble, you'll have to get out."
I made up my mind, I would beat these charges. After all, I
was innocent.

The first day I was in jail this real big black guy
decided he wanted my breakfast. He slid my tray over to him
and began to eat! I took it back and he said, "meet me behind
the camera and we'll see whose breakfast it is." (The "chow
hall" was closely monitored by security cameras.)

Now, I believe if there is no way out, get the first

punch and make it count. That I did. I nailed that guy in


places that would make Mohammed Ali stop and think. While I
was only 140 pounds, I was a country boy who had fended for
myself all my life. I won his (and everyone else's) respect
from that day forth.

The guards caught us fighting, and since I


obviously had the upper hand, I was the one punished. They
put me "in the hole." The hole is a small cubicle in concrete
about 3 feet tall, 3 feet deep and 3 feet wide with steel
grating on the front. Part of the punishment of getting
thrown in the hole was ration of only bread and water. This
went on for days.

I knew no one in this part of the country, had no money,


and no outside contact with the world. On top of this
"Cutie" never came to visit. In fact, I have yet to see or
hear from her. It turns out this was a ploy by the father to
take his daughter and granddaughter and leave town while I
was in jail. Back then, I knew little about investigating or
I would have tracked him down and . . . Oh well, maybe it's
better I didn't know.

A week or so after sitting in jail I went before the


judge for arraignment. I plead not guilty. I had often heard;
you don't get a fair trial with an indigent defender, so I
chose to represent myself. I asked the judge for access to
the necessary law books to prepare my defense. The judge
agreed to my request, and I had the entire law library at my
disposal. I studied diligently. Days . . . weeks . . .

months passed . . . and I was beginning to wonder if I were


ever going to be brought to trial.

I LEARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO FILE A MOTION FOR A SPEEDY


TRIAL OR THEY MAY NEVER GIVE YOU ONE!

So, I filed a handwritten motion for a speedy trial and


soon thereafter the court sent notice of a court date. I
began to prepare as best I could from my PRISON CELL. Low
and behold, I discovered a law that said I could file a "Writ
of Habeus Corpus." This law requires the sheriff to present
you before the judge and show just cause to hold you in
custody. Guess what happened? The court dismissed the
charges. "Cutie's" dad didn't appear to present his
allegations. I was free! The judge listened carefully as I
described the entire ordeal. He strongly recommended I sue
the affiant who was responsible for my false imprisonment.

Now, let's get to the fun part. The entire time of my


incarceration, I wrote letters to the district attorney,
telling him I was innocent, that I was framed. He never
replied. I asked him, in front of the judge if he had
received my letters. He said he had, but refused to say why
he hadn't answered my letters. It was then that I made a
statement that this certain District Attorney will never
forget. I said, "With all due respect Your Honor, may I make
a statement?" The Judge said "proceed." I looked at the
District Attorney and said, "Mr. District Attorney, I shall
return. Someday you will see me again, I will be standing in
this exact spot defending people like myself." He smiled and

turned his head away.

I continued my studies of investigative procedure, and


the legal guidelines of procuring and presenting evidence. I
studied Forensic Science, Psychology, The Louisiana Code of
Criminal Procedure, and every other book I could find. I
ordered books from colleges across the U.S. and read. . .
and read . . . and read.

It was seventeen months later, but finally I became the


investigator for the Indigent Defender's Office, working to
defend people who were financially unable to hire an
attorney. (Indigent Defendants made up about 80% of those
accused of crimes)

The D. A. almost fainted that first day I appeared in


court for the Indigent Defender's Office. He looked through
his glasses, then over his glasses, then turned his head and
looked back. "YES IT'S ME . . . suit and all! I'm back."

THEN I GAVE HIM HELL! He had to work for his money. I


would utilize little known forensic procedures of examining
evidence that were unfamiliar to him. He would often need a
recess, to study. I would find witnesses "out of the blue."
I left no rock unturned. Whether it was a murder case or a
NSF check case, he had to work hard to stay ahead of me.

Now you may think this was an act of vengeance, but


really it wasn't. I simply took advantage of the opportunity
to show this district attorney, that he should answer his

mail! He should listen to both sides of a story, and realize


when some guys say, "I'm innocent," or "I'll kill your
ass!", THEY MAY MEAN IT! I believe he really didn't believe
I was going to be back.

Who would believe that a long haired punk could ever be


anything more than "a hippie." I tried telling him in my
letter I came from a good home with Christian parents and I
was a good person. I didn't steal, kill, or do anything
illegal. In fact, I had never even had a traffic ticket.

Shortly thereafter I started my business. You see, the


entire time I was working for the Indigent Defender's Office,
I was passing business cards to every attorney I met. Also,
I was gaining a lot of recognition because of the fight I was
giving the D.A. People were circulating the story of the
"thorn in the side of the D.A."

The attorneys liked me, and my win ratio in the court


room was speaking louder than words. It wasn't too long that
I was receiving so many requests to do work for the lawyers
in the area, that I abandoned my post as the investigator for
the Indigent Defender's Office. (I heard the D.A.'s Office
threw a celebration!) I decided to put my mind to work making
money.

I went after it with all that was within me and in no


time at all . . . I become recognized as "the agent to call
if you had problems," earning $100,000.00+ a year.
Now the moral of this story is...NEVER TAKE ANYONE'S WORD FOR

GRANTED! HE MAY BE SERIOUS! Never make decisions--financial,


personal or otherwise--based on outward appearance, financial
status, what you've heard, etc. You may regret them!

In the case of the District Attorney, he had probably


received many such letters, saying I AM INNOCENT and he
ignored mine as just another. He didn't believe me in the
courtroom when I said I'd return. However, I became a
nightmare to him.

=============================================================

So you see, we need to be careful who we offend. We need


to know who we are dealing with. The arts and sciences of
investigating go way beyond what television portrays. There
is nothing private today. We have to know how information is
obtained, from where, and if you do, you can more
successfully secure your privacy.

Now, we promised to teach you 11 insider secrets that


can help you to get anything on anyone. Well, again, we will
refer to writings by the "Millionaires Investigator" himself,
Mr. Enlow. This is a piece that was published during
November 1991 that should help you to find almost anyone,
even if they're hiding!

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT INVESTIGATING!

I will show you my way, and I do have an impressive


track record. I will reveal the hottest and most advanced

resources available to you. I WILL NOT HOLD BACK! I'm going


to lay the cards on the table. I will give you every source
I have. In fact, you will soon pick up the phone and get many
investigative answers for the price of a telephone call! I
intend to show everything I have learned in over fifteen hard
years of footwork.

As I explained to many of you by phone, I am associated


with what I believe is the most professional network of
investigators in the world. In actuality, there
are over 700 of us across America. We are referred to as
Legal Investigators, mainly because we do mostly legal
related work. To qualify to belong to our association, your
credentials must meet certain guidelines. (Our approval
process involves thorough investigation of your character,
professionalism, qualifications and experience.)

This is why we can get the job done, we have the sources
and contacts. We also make it our business to know about the
most up-to-date advancements in investigative procedure and
forensic science.

First, I will elaborate on what many of you have asked.


How do I find someone? Finding people is very easy, provided
you "know the ropes."

There are usually two basic kinds of missing persons.


They are people who are missing on purpose (they wanted to
disappear), and people with whom you have simply lost touch.
Those missing on purpose may be escaped cons, husbands who

are tired of paying child support or alimony, and debt


skippers. The second type are people who have lost touch
over a period of time. I have learned the techniques for
finding people will usually work on either of these two types
of missing persons, although the first type are usually
somewhat harder to find.

Believe it or not, there are easy ways to find these


people. In fact, every one of them can usually be located by
telephone, IF you have the right information. The most
common mistake of a "skipper" is that he or she will not
usually detach themselves from their previous lifestyle or
their old acquaintances, (i.e. family and friends). Many of
them will keep their old habits.

When I am finding someone, I first ask myself, "Who


would they be in touch with?" If someone else already knows
where they are, why should you go to the expense and headache
of finding them yourself. Just ask whoever knows! I guess
you think I'm off my rocker don't you? NO! You just ask!
Want to know how?

First, determine with whom your subject may be in touch.


Then decide on a suitable guise for your pretext call. You
may be a car salesman, insurance adjuster, pizza delivery
man, or whatever is suitable for your specific need. Then
design a pretext. Always write down the exact details of who
you are, what your business is about, who you will name as
being involved in your "make believe story" and as many other
details as it takes to make your story believable. Study

your pretext before making the call! DON'T SOUND PARANOID!


Act normal. Talk slow and with authority. Then throw your
pitch, using as many details as you can. Remember you want
this person to come out and tell you where your subject is.
(Beware of impersonating an officer, this can get you in
serious trouble)

Another major rule of thumb in pretext is to never use


the exact name of the party you are looking for. Use a name
that sounds near the same. For example, if you are trying to
find Dave Jenkins, ask for Dale Jenkins. There is a
psychological effect that lends credibility to your pretext
and often triggers the release of the information you are
after. Think about it, if someone (a bill collector) were
trying to find you, wouldn't you think they would get your
name right? You bet! And the effect of not calling the
exact name lends credibility to your pretext. They will
almost always give you what you are looking for. Let me give
you an example:

Not long ago, a young lady who was having difficulty


getting a subpoena served on her husband came to my office.
She had previously hired other P. I.'s to help her find this
"missing husband," and despite their enormous fees they were
absolutely unsuccessful. She came to me, pleading for my
help. I asked her a few questions and learned that the
husband was a Junior, and the Senior lived not too far out of
town, so I designed the following pretext and the call went
like this:

Dialed father's house.

Mr. Jones: Hello.

Mr. Enlow: Yes, Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: This is he.

Mr. Enlow: Mr. Jones, my name is Bill Gatlin with XXXXXX


Insurance Co. We are adjusting the claim
involving the accident between Ms. Forman and
Mr.
Briggs on October 6th., and I need to get
your statement as to what you saw. Is that ok?

Mr. Jones: What accident?

Mr. Enlow: This is Mr. Thomas Jones, isn't it?

Mr. Jones: Yes it is.

Mr. Enlow: Mr. Jones I'm taking about the accident involving
the small blue Chevrolet belonging to Ms. Forman
and the black GMC pick-up of Mr. Briggs that
collided at the intersection of 4th and Ellen
there in Canton on October 6th. You did witness
this accident, did you not?

Mr. Jones: I don't know what accident you are talking about.

Mr. Enlow: Mr. Jones, let me be sure I have this right, you
were not a witness to this accident?

Mr. Jones: I don't know what accident you are talking about.

Mr. Enlow: ...and you do live at Canton.

Mr. Jones: Yes, but I haven't seen an accident.

Mr. Enlow: Well maybe I picked the wrong Jeff Jones from the
phone book. The witnesses said the Jones I needed
to see lived in Canton. Do you know of
any other Jeff Jones' who live in Canton?

Mr. Jones: Not unless it's my boy. He's a Junior. He may be


who you need to see.

Mr. Enlow: Is there a number where I can reach him?

Mr. Jones: Yes. His number is 566-2190. He lives right out


there in that trailer park off 138 highway. His
truck is usually there. It's a white Chevrolet.

Mr. Enlow: Ok. Well, I'll check with him. I'm sorry I
bothered you Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones: Oh. No problem.

Mr. Enlow: Thank you.

Mr. Jones: Goodbye.

Now you can how easy it can be to get the inside scoop
on finding people really fast?

Would you like to know a fast and easy way to get exact
forwarding address information? It's simple. What you do is
address a standard envelope to the target you are trying to
find, and insert a blank piece of paper. This will make it
look like a standard letter. (The P. O. may get P.O.'d about
you using this one if you do it too often.) Then you
proceed, addressing the letter using the last known address.
BUT...in the left hand corner of the envelope write:

DO NOT FORWARD
ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED

Guess, what will happen? You will have your target's


current address back in the mail in a matter of only a day or
so. The best part of all is that he or she doesn't even know
you're on their trail. Ok. What if you get a P. O. Box and
need a street address, what then?

To get the current street address of someone who has a


P. O. Box, in a business deal, you may file a "Request for
Box-Holder's Address." You will need to send a letter to
your postmaster as follows:

REQUEST FOR BOXHOLDER STREET ADDRESS

Pursuant to provisions of Postal Service Regulations-(Administrative Support Manual, Section 352.44) I, the
undersigned, request that the address of the following holder
of P. O. Box _____in ______________________________________
(City)

(State) (Zip)

be provided. The reason for this request is that said


boxholder is conducting a business known as__________________
through said post office box, and as a customer require his
street address in order to pursue a complaint regarding
service or (quality) (Non-delivery) (other)__________________

Dated:_______________________Signature______________
_________

Printed Name____________________

Ok, I want to go a little further. Do you have a last


known address or just a phone number. Well, I'll show you
how to use this information to get a world of information.

Would you like to be able to pick up the phone and get


someone's current address or phone number in a matter of
minutes?

Ok, here's how you do it! Basically what you will be


doing is accessing a little known database which has
statistical information on almost everyone in America! (This
includes you and me.)

Here's a telephone number where you can often get the

information you need by simply picking up your telephone and


making one phone call. There is a charge of $2.00 per minute
via your telephone bill. However, you will usually get more
information from these people in ten minutes than with most
private investigators in hours. Most private investigators
charge anywhere from $35 to $50 an hour, here you can get
your answers for as little as $5 to $20. (I am in no way
whatsoever affiliated with the people who operate this
service.)

Now, to maximize this service you will need the last


known address or the telephone number of the person you are
trying to find. Then dial 1-900-288-3020 and shoot away!
That's it! In a matter of minutes you will usually get the
exact address or phone number.

If you really want to get serious, they will also


provide you with the three nearest neighbors names, phone
numbers and addresses! With this information and a slight
amount of creativity you could design and use a suitable
pretext to interview the neighbors. This may provide the
leads you need to find your target, in the event they have
moved from the address you have. It's amazing how many trails
or information we leave behind us . . . ..
============================================================

So as you can see, with a little creativity and


instruction almost anyone can be their own private
investigator. We mail this letter across the country to
people like yourself everyday. Guess what? Mr. Enlow once

said, you have a common trait with most successful private


investigators. . .you are a do'er! You don't just sit back
and wait on something to fall out of the sky! You are the
kind of person with the attitude that it takes to be a world
class "super spy." You are a make it happen person.

You obviously have a problem of your own (evidenced by


the fact that you ordered this free report) and you intend to
make the best of it! This is the personality traits that
brought Mr. Enlow fame and fortune. At 34 years old, Mr.
Enlow now enjoys the better things in life, simply counseling
others with the information that will allow them to get the
answers they so desperately need. And in this day; "The
Information Age" we all need to know more.

Ok. Let's move on to the next topic.

Did you know there are hundreds and hundreds of


electronic surveillance supply houses.? Wonder how they
manage to stay in business when there are not many court
orders issue a year allowing the use of such gadgets?

Well, my friend, I will tell you, they are making a


tremendous amount of money selling electronic surveillance
equipment. Their customers are Federal, State, and Local Law
Enforcement Agencies, corporations, and a few dishonest
private investigators, who are all illegally using these

concepts in their investigations.

A very popular book on electronic surveillance came out


in 1967 and listed some of the buyers of electronic
surveillance gear. Everyone was quite surprised to find Avis
Rent-A-Car, various hotel chains, Coca-Cola, various life
insurance companies, and the like, were spending millions for
specialized bugging devices. But to find out that Walt Disney
was a major customer really blew my mind.

In my career, I have discovered hundreds of illegal


electronic surveillance applications. Bugs are everywhere;
in small businesses, large corporations, people's homes,
conventions, and you name it. In fact, if you don't believe
me, try programming a typical scanner to search and scan the
35 to 50 megahertz band. Just ride around your city and
listen. I never get bored on stake-outs because I am usually
within range of some really hot listening. I just wonder how
many thousands of illegal electronic surveillance
applications are in place at this very moment. It is
astounding!

I will start by describing some of the ways electronic


surveillance is done. First, there is what we call hard
wiring. Basically, this is the same as having an everyday
microphone plugged into a tape recorder. When you speak into
the microphone whatever you say is recorded onto a tape
or sometimes intercepted by the listener using earphones.

Then, there are electronic transmitters which intercept

the signal via microphone and transmit it via radio signal to


a receiver of some sort.

Finally, there are the more advanced long range


listening devices like the laser mic, the shotgun microphone,
the parabolic microphone, and others which can pick up a
whisper for long ranges.

Now, I will elaborate on a few types of electronic


surveillance and the ways you can protect yourself from them.

First let's discuss. . .

HARD WIRING

This type of electronic interception requires the use of


wire to carry the signal to you or some other listening
device. There are many ways that hard wiring is done. Wires
the size of a human hair can be used to transmit a signal to
a microphone. They are often painted over, concealing them
from view.

At one end is the microphone, and the other is a tape


recorder or someone who is monitoring with headphones. This
method of electronic interception is the oldest in the
industry, yet very effective.

Wires are sometimes hidden under carpet, in air


conditioning ducts, along baseboards, and almost anywhere you
can imagine.

There is even a conductive paint, which closely


resembles fingernail polish, that will transmit the minute
electrical impulses from the microphone to the recorder.

There are so many different ways for this type


application that I will not attempt to cover them all. I
will just tell you of a few we have discovered in our
countermeasures searches.

Once, in checking a certain client's business for bugs,


we located a very cleverly installed hard-wire system.
Obviously someone had access to the office for a considerable
length of time, or maybe did a little breaking and entering
to get into the office.

Anyway, this particular application was a small


microphone element about 1/4th inch in diameter, placed in a
small hole in a picture frame. A 1/4 inch hole drilled into
the rear of the picture frame held the microphone in place.
A small 1/8th inch hole continued through the frame to allow
the sound to reach the microphone.

Then, a couple of small jumper wires were run from the


mic to the wall and thumb tacked to the wall. At this point,
conductive paint, as described above, continued down the
seams of the paneling walls to the baseboard. Behind the
baseboard the conductive paint met with another set of wires
connected to some old phone wires.

A recorder was concealed in the basement near the phone


junction box. Every sound made in our client's office was
recorded onto cassette tape by the use of a long play tape
recorder. (Many times agents will change the play and record
speed of tape recorders by changing the size of the internal
pulleys. This will enable a standard tape recorder to record
from 4 to 15 hours on one side of a tape.)

The applications of hard-wiring are so numerous there is


no way they can all be covered in one letter, but let me tell
you of another clever hardwire we discovered. We received a
call from a lady who, believing that she was bugged,
requested that we sweep her home for illegal electronic
surveillance devices.

After a very thorough sweep by several of my agents, we


billed the client and told her there were no electronic
surveillance devices on the premises. Although with the
advancement of modern technology, we simply cannot guarantee
100% that we will find them. There are bugs now which are
activated by remote control. If the person who is bugging
the premises hears that a sweep is about to be done, he can
de-activate the bug until we have cleared out.

Anyway, let me tell you of this most unusual hard-wire


by an amateur. A few days later the lady called again and
said she knew without a doubt that she was bugged. She
insisted we must have missed something. This time yours
truly went to the location and ran every test we had
equipment to run. Still, I could find no bug. Then, I began

a physical inspection of the entire house from attic to


basement. I noticed something very strange.

The stereo, situated in the center of the home, was on


and the cassette deck was playing. Closer inspection showed
that it was recording! I couldn't find a microphone, or at
least there wasn't one plugged into the microphone jack. It
didn't have it's own built in microphone so how could it be
recording? I stopped the tape and when I played it back,
there was a perfect recording of our client and myself as I
was questioning her. I checked the back of the stereo and
noticed one of the speaker wires was running into the cabinet
of the stereo. I disassembled the stereo and damn if the
wire wasn't connected to the microphone jack on the inside
and routed to the speakers. THE SPEAKERS WERE BEING USED TO
CONDUCT MICROPHONE SIGNALS TO THE TAPE RECORDER! And it
worked like a charm.

On top of this, the husband had changed the record/play


speed of the recorder to accommodate 8 hours of recording.
This was one of the most sophisticated "home-made" jobs I had
ever seen, but it worked! Every night while the wife was
working as a nurse he could review everything that happened
at home the day before, and was overhearing her telephone
calls, and her visitors. It was just like him being
invisible. I have to credit this guy, that was quite a
design.

My best advice on detecting any type of hard wire


installation is to look for any alteration in the carpet

where wiring may have been routed under the carpet. Watch
for any unusual sets of wires near and around your telephone
wires. (You should always be familiar with the type and
number of wires near your outside telephone connection box,
and watch out for any new pairs that may appear.)

Another type of hard-wire system is a direct telephone


tap. This only requires a standard tape recorder with both a
microphone and remote control jack and an "auto recorder
control." These are about $25.00 and are available at any
Radio Shack or other electronic supply store.

The auto recorder control is a small box about 3 inches


square and has two wires coming out of it. It also has two
switches on top of it to set it for record or playback mode.
There is a gray wire which plugs directly into any extra
telephone jack or cut and spliced into the telephone line.
The other wire with two plugs connects to the tape recorder.
One small plug goes to the remote jack of the tape recorder
and the other larger plug to the microphone jack on the
recorder. Then, press the record button on the recorder and
it's all set. The auto recording control will keep the
recorder dormant until the phone is in use. It then
activates the recorder to clearly record both sides of the
conversation. As soon as the phone is placed back on the
hook the recorder stops recording and waits for the next
incoming or outgoing call. This feature prevents the tape
recorder from playing constantly and allows for the recorder
to only be active during calls.

Most people who use this method of information gathering


will plug the auto recording control into an extra telephone
jack in the home or business, and conceal the recorder
underneath a bed or behind some other object to prevent it
from detection.

However, in those cases where there are no extra jacks,


they will cut the telephone jack wire coming out of the auto
recording control and strip away the insulation from the red
and green wires. Then, they will splice it into the phone
wire in the attic or anywhere on the premises telephone line.
Nearly all phone systems operate on a single grey or white
cable. Once the insulation is removed the cable contains a
red, green, yellow, and black wire. This cable carries
approximately 40 to 50 volts and will seldom shock if handled
improperly, allowing for amateur surveillance applications.

Once the insulation is stripped away, these two wires,


the red and green, should be matched with the red and green
in the telephone wire and then properly taped to insure no
static will occur. In 99% of the applications we've found we
seldom find them with static, clicks, hums, or any other
problem which might alert someone of a bug. I have also seen
instances where people have used bubble gum to seal the wires
once spliced. (We've also found beautiful fingerprint
impressions in gum.)

We've seen cases where extensions of people's phones


have been requested by investigators. They design a ruse to
the phone company to have an extension installed in a

predetermined location, often under the guise of an "office


extension." Then, they connect the recording device and
after monitoring calls for several weeks, disappear from the
location before the person bugged receives the phone bill
reflecting the added expense for a second line.

And then. . .

THERE IS THE CORDLESS PHONE

Now, many of you purchased my book, Darkness to Light,


which tells how cordless phones transmit a signal that can be
intercepted by a common scanner. But for those of you who
missed out, I will elaborate. Cordless phones transmit a
signal up to a mile away! BEWARE OF DISCUSSING CONFIDENTIAL
BUSINESS ON ONE OF THESE PHONES!

The box your cordless phone came in very clearly advises


you that these phones are transmitters. Yet, every day
millions of people, both at work and home, continue to use
these phones and spread their business throughout the
airwaves. There is little that can be done to stop people
from hearing your calls, short of purchasing a scrambling
device. Then, the party to whom you converse would also have
to have such a device to understand you. This would so
restrict the use of your cordless phone that you may as well
use a regular phone.

If you suspect someone may be intercepting your calls,


and you wish to recognize how it is done, it works like this.

Nearly all cordless phones transmit in the 46.00 to 47.00


megahertz band. To intercept the cordless phone, the
operator will use the search feature on the scanner and
program 46.00 as the low and 47.00 as the high and touch the
search scan key. If a cordless phone is in use in the area
it will lock in on that frequency. He or she can then hear
both sides of the conversation in crystal clear for up to one
mile. The use of a good low-band antenna with the scanner
will increase the reception range of a cordless phone.

Many private investigators will drive by a subject's


home searching these frequencies and then scan for
information that will provide leads that later help them to
document evidence.

It is arguable whether this is an invasion of privacy or


a violation of Federal Law because of the notice on the
carton in which the phone came. It clearly states they are
not private. Many investigators and attorneys argue that
people waive their rights to the expectation of privacy when
they use such a telephone.

Do you want to go a step further? There is now a device


called an "auto scanner recording control" which will allow
the scanner to be connected to a tape recorder. The recorder
only records when the cordless phone is in use. Private
investigators will sometimes determine the appropriate
frequency of the subject's phone, and then place a battery
powered scanner with the recorder control and recorder in a
water tight container. He or she will conceal the equipment

in hedges, culverts, etc., near the subject's house. Then,


after a few days, retrieve the past few days telephone
conversations, never entering upon the subject's property or
touching his phone lines! And if the tape isn't long enough
he or she will use a long-play recorder that will record
hours of conversation.

Many surveillance providers and spy shops sell recorders


that will record 10 or more hours of conversation on a single
cassette tape. If you are a business man who often uses a
tape recorder for business, this may be a real help to you.

The concepts mentioned above are only a "touch of the


iceberg" of what is happening in illegal electronic
surveillance. I could write an entire book on just this
topic. Since we only have only so much space to write each
month, I will have to continue this topic in future issues.
However, if you have specific questions or comments, you may
call my office of send a fax and we will try to answer your
questions.

Please don't be so foolish as to believe, "It couldn't


happen to me", or you may find a lot of your deals going
sour. Or perhaps, someone may decide your secret is worth
more than your bank account....

BEWARE: IT IS HAPPENING MORE THAN YOU WOULD BELIEVE!

I have turned down many multi-thousand dollar jobs to do


industrial spying, and if I am getting these offers, so are

many others. You can never be to careful.

There are devices which will help you to detect illegal


telephone taps, transmitters, and conventional hard-wire
bugs, but the best protections is to follow a few rules:

a. Never say anything on the phone you wouldn't want to


hear in the courtroom.

b. Never trust anyone. If what you say could hurt you


and your business, shut-up.

c. If you must discuss very confidential business,


create a loud background noise that will hinder the
less expensive electronic devices, i.e., a radio
or television with loud volume, a fan running in the
same room, etc., and talk quietly. (You would be
amazed how effective this background noise is
against electronic invasion of your privacy.)

d. When discussing very delicate issues, never meet in


anyone's office. Meet in public places and be sure
to be observant of any bulges which could be
concealed tape recorders, etc.

A good private investigator will let "Ma-Bell" do the


work, so beware. Let me explain. . .

Some time ago, a lady called my office in extreme mental


anguish. She explained how she and her husband were going

through this awful, dirty, mud-slinging, child custody


battle. He had decided to take matters into his own hands.
He took their three year old daughter and disappeared.

She managed to get a contempt judgement and criminal


charges were filed against the husband for parental
kidnapping. She learned that he had left the state, and
therefore, was successful in getting the F. B. I. involved
in
the case. She also hired a couple of private investigators.
Well, to make a long story short, many months passed and she
was no closer to finding her little girl than when she began.

Then she heard of me.

When this lady called my office, I really didn't want to


get involved, considering the "Boys in Black" (F.B.I.) were
already working on the case. After all, they're much better
qualified than a small town private eye. Right? Well. . .
after listening to this lady crying and pleading, I couldn't
resist. So, I agreed to accept the assignment with the
understanding that she would tell no one of my involvement.
(F.B.I. Agents generally don't like P. I.'s.)

I interviewed the client for information regarding the


husband's family, friends, acquaintances, social security
number, date of birth, habits, etc., and went to work.

In no time at all I found him!

I found him in a suburb of North Little Rock, Arkansas


living under an assumed identity. I quickly packed up and
took off. Before I left, I called the local law enforcement
authorities to be sure I could count on them to serve the
arrest warrant and assist me in recovering the child.

BUT...

When I arrived at the husband's apartment, it was


vacant! That was just the beginning! What really "set me
off" was a note taped to the wall that said, "Ha! Ha! Mr.
P. I." Talk about a blow to my ego and a fire in my gut!

I called the client to report what I'd found. I didn't


tell her about the note; I just told her what had happened.
That jerk made me look like a fool and the cops got a good
laugh out of it. Oh well. (I later found out that one of
the local cops had warned the subject that I was enroute.)

The client's money was spent, and the baby was still
missing. Now what do I do? Well, being the "good Samaritan"
that I am (and considering the cute note he left me) I told
the client not to worry, that I would put my mind to work to
solve her problem. I promised to relocate and return her
child soon. I also agreed to do so at no additional charge
if I wasn't successful.

After exhausting every lead I had, I decided there was


only thing left to do, steal his mother's telephone bill out
of the mail box! But wait, I couldn't do that, that's

illegal... Back to the drawing board...

I laid awake at night, tormenting myself with the fact


that this jerk had pulled a "fast one" on me... and that damn
note... Who did this guy think he was? Didn't he know who I
was? Yeah, I was going to find him! You betcha!

Now remember, I had already used the client's entire


budget during the first attempt to locate the subject, and
I had to improvise if I was to successfully complete this
assignment without losing a lot of money. (Not that I
wouldn't have spent my own money to find this contemptible
wimp!) Anyway, I devised a short cut remedy to this problem.
And here's how it was done:

I used two tape recorders, ready with fresh batteries


and tapes. On one I recorded the sound of a telephone dial
tone. On the other I connected an "induction pick-up." This
is a small suction cup microphone you stick to the ear piece
of the phone which allows you to record both sides of a
telephone call. Then, I called the mother and the call went
something like this:

ME: Hello, Ms. Blank Blank?

MOM: Yes.

ME: This is Dr. Kincaid at the Southwest Medical Center.


Are you the mother of Suzanne Blank?

MOM: No, I'm the grandmother. . .What's wrong?

ME: Well, Suzanne has had an accident and I must speak


with her mother or father to authorize additional
medical treatment. . . Hello. . . HELLO! ! !

Then I pressed the play button on the second recorder


and played the dial tone into the mouthpiece of the phone.
And, I bet you'll never guess what grandma thought. Yes, she
thought we were disconnected...click...click...click...went
the pulse dial sounds of a dialing telephone. I know you'll
never guess who she called. That's right, "good ole grandma"
called her baby boy, the lousy jerk who left me the cute
little "Ha, Ha note."

Meanwhile, tape recorder number one is clearly recording


grandma's attempt to call the subject. Needless to say, in
no time at all I had the subject's phone number and his alias
name, address, place of employment, etc. The following
morning the Fed's took care of the rest.

Yes, I did feel bad about upsetting grandma, but not


half as bad as I felt about that note! Besides that, she had
lied to me and told me she had no idea where her son may be,
and I really don't like liars!

Here's the point. CREATE! THINK! There is no problem


or situation that can outwit you if you really put your mind
to work.

=============================================================

One of the most damaging problems with small businesses


is their inability to collect delinquent accounts. What does
"The Master" have to say about that? Well, here it is
directly from the guru of collections himself. . .

Do you remember I said in my promo material I would show


you ways of collecting those tough to collect debts.
Remember that? Well, here's a trick that works fairly well:

Tell the debtor you have waited a long time for your
money. Tell them you are going to have no choice but to turn
them over for collection if they can't co-operate. Ask for a
date when you can expect payment. . .and then ask them to
send you a check so you can get your accountant off your
butt. Tell them, you will hold the check until a time when
they will call you and allow you to process it on through the
bank. If they are still reluctant. . .tell them to send you
a check and they don't even have to sign it. Again say, "I
just have to get my accountant (superiors) off my back."
This will usually be agreeable and you will simply ask him to
call you once he is ready to make the check good. He'll be
thinking you can't do anything with an unsigned check, just
like you are...

Now, here's the trick. Once you get their check, call
their bank. Tell them you have a check on Mr. So and So and
you need to be sure the check is good. If it isn't, then wait
and try again another day. When it is good and there are

enough funds in the account to get your money, here's what


you do:

Write or type the word "over" on the line where the


signature would normally appear. On the back, type "lack of
signature guaranteed." . .and add your company's name, and
your name and title. Then endorse or stamp your deposit
notice on the check and cash or deposit it. This guarantees
your bank that you'll take back the check as a charge against
your account if it isn't honored. Most banks will then
process the check and remit the funds.

Now you've got your money. . . and even if the bank


doesn't honor the check, you've got a tangible item to show
there is no dispute of the debt, and the debtor admits he
owes the money. If you must pursue further collection
action, this check will help you to collect your money. I
wonder if this is legal? Ask your lawyer. . . . .I just
work here . . .

You Still Don't Have Your Money?

What now? Ok. Here's what I would do. I would put the
debtor under investigation. I would run a "trash run" (grab
his/her garbage) for a couple of weeks and see what they're
doing with their money.

Could it be they're spending their money on drugs,


expensive clothing, jewelry, etc.? The garbage will yield
information about an individual's lifestyle, spending habits,

and perhaps a few "inside secrets" they don't want the world
to know. Things that may give you a bit of an edge when it
comes to negotiations . . . like, the discovery of drug
paraphernalia . . . Certainly, if they can afford drugs, they
can pay you. Right?

Suppose you research records on the debtor and learn


that he is delinquent in child support payments in another
state. Or, maybe he is wanted for traffic violations or some
other crime. Perhaps you discover a little "hanky-panky" is
going on at his work place and you learn enough to where he
could encounter some real serious problems . . . Do you
suppose you might could negotiate some kind of deal?

I hope you're not thinking that I would suggest


blackmail. I am not saying you should blackmail anyone. But
remember, once you've filed suit, during the discovery
proceedings you will be asked a lot of questions. If the
debtor learns that you know about their tax evasion . . .
drug use . . . misuse of corporate funds, etc., he will
usually have an instant change of heart and pay up.

Larger accounts are naturally the more difficult ones.


However, if everything's on the up & up and you can verify
the debt, it can be rather simple . . .

=============================================================

You know how time has a way of creeping up on you? And


sometimes you just have to have those fast answers. Like

background information or other records from across the


country? There are ways. . .

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS

Actually it's easier than you think. If you've been


reading the Inside Secrets you already know a lot of ways to
get into some pretty "hard core" information. You simply
can't trust people . . . you have to check them out!

Would you walk across the Mojave Desert without taking


enough water? Would you schedule a flight to Iraq without
considering the chance of trouble? I wouldn't--and I don't
believe anyone in their right mind would. But, think about
it! Over a hundred people at the seminar raised their hand
as someone who has suffered loss at the hand of a con. This
can be avoided.

In fact, anything can be done, if you know how. You can


handle a King Cobra, if you know what you're doing. Whoa!
Wait a second! You say, not me? Well, what if you used a
burlap sack? You see, there is a way! But, every time we
make a move forward without weighing out the possibilities. .
. the facts" we take the chance of getting burned. Do you
see what I'm saying? Never walk into any deal blindfolded.
You have to know the facts about the business: the location,
the people you will be dealing with, the accountant, and on
and on. You will almost always save yourself a lot of
trouble by simply doing a little footwork.

If you want to accomplish a positive end result, you


have to use plain old good business sense. You have to put
on your "Sherlock cloak and hat" and check things out. And
if you don't know how . . . well . . . frankly, that proves
you're already doing great subscribing to my newsletter.

I know this may be "off the beaten path" but I believe


the subscribers to my newsletter are the smartest, most sane,
savvy, sharp, business people on earth. . ..

Now, whether you're considering marriage, divorce, a


lawsuit, a merger, a partnership, or simply trying to get the
"inside scoop" on someone for reasons of your own, a
background investigation is almost always the first thing to
do. It can literally make the difference between success and
catastrophe. Let me give you a few scenarios where a
background investigation is in order.

Suppose you are looking at an investment opportunity


that is so good that it's one of those we call "too good to
be true." What do you know about the investment company . . .
the prospective partner--the trends in the industry. How long
have they been in business? How accurate are their profit
and loss statements? Who are the officers of the
corporation, and what are their backgrounds--their
failures and successes?

Maybe you are an employer in consideration of hiring a


new employee? Is all the information on the application true
and factual? Will he or she be a liability risk? Is he or

she a habitual claimant looking for a chance to sue you?

Perhaps you are an employee looking for employment with


a promising and rising company. Maybe you are a seasoned
employee being transferred to a different location. Is this
new location stable, will you have job security? Are you
making a good move?

What about personal relationships? Are you considering


marriage? Is he or she authentic and truthful? Can you
trust this person for life? Are there secrets . . . things
that he or she is not telling you?

Are you involved as a plaintiff or defendant in


litigation? Often there are facts about the opposing party
that would help you win the case? How do you find out? I'll
show you.

PONDER BEFORE YOU WANDER . . .

Do you know what is the oldest profession on earth? No


. . . No . . . No! I know exactly what you're thinking.
Prostitution. Right? Well, maybe it is, but following
closely behind is the art of "Investigating" . . . Gathering
data about one's opponents dates back to ancient biblical
time. And guess what? Although we now have hi-tech
surveillance gear, on-line computer data research capability,
and all the other modern technology, the art of investigating
still requires some old-fashioned "gum-shoe" preparation.

PLAN YOUR WORK--WORK YOUR PLAN

Before you begin seeking answers on someone or something


you need to develop your "road map." Ask yourself and write
out the legendary 6 guides: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and
How? If you get the answers to these 6 variables of each
question you have, you will have left no stone unturned.

Once you have written all the questions you want


answered, ponder very carefully as you ask yourself the 6
variables of every question you may have. Write down your
questions. Then repeat each question, filling in the who's,
what's, when's, where's, why's and how's.

There's no use investigating if you don't know what


answers you want to find. By carefully planning an
investigation, not only are you laying out a road map to
conducting a successful inquiry, but you are also clearly
defining your primary concerns. (Probably a few you've
overlooked before.)

From birth our minds are often programed to overlook


even the most obvious. The planning of an investigation is
the most important phase. Take your time, write down every
question you would ask the target of the investigation if
given that liberty. Go slow, diligently, and very carefully.

Now. Do you have your road map? Ok. Then let's begin.

First, let's look at what we're trying to get. A

background investigation usually consists of a compilation of


facts--much like unto a personal "dossier." The only
difference is the subject usually provides these facts, but
now, you are gathering the "real facts."

A complete personal dossier should consist of the


following information--name, address, telephone number, birth
date and place of birth, education, vocation, avocation,
family, social security, driver's license number, vehicles
owned, property owned, credit rating and history, opinions of
business associates and neighbors, hobbies, habits,
restaurants preferred, profile of friends, profile of
enemies, litigations, previous addresses, unusual mail,
magazines favored and subscribed to, club memberships,
medical history, and any other information you can find.

A company dossier should consist of the following


information--name, address including parent and sister
companies, telephone numbers, key employees and their
personal statistics, owners, corporate officers, products or
services, suppliers, buyers, competition, profit and loss
statement, Standard & Poor's ratings, Better Business Bureau
standing, Dunn and & Bradstreet rating, real property owned,
prior or active litigations, growth rate, security, employee
morale, and any other suitable and important data.

INFORMATION IS POWER!

The cost factor in gathering data is important to you


and should be. That's why you subscribe to the Inside

Secrets, to learn how to get the "inside scoop" cost


effectively. However, when compared to the possible losses
there's no comparison to the greater risk of not having the
information.

GATHERING THE INFORMATION

Begin with known sources. You may have access to data


within your reach that you're overlooking. It is a common
practice for investigators to develop sources in police
departments, insurance companies, credit bureaus,
manufacturers, etc.

It is always good to have friends (or contacts) who are


knowledgeable in different occupations. If your inquiry is a
legal matter involving his or her areas of expertise, their
knowledge can sometimes prove invaluable. The defense or
prosecution of a legal matter almost always requires the
investigator to provide detailed "expert" information.

I have always maintained what I like to call my


"intelligence files." They include hundreds of sources in
different businesses and agencies, as well as the names and
addresses of every client, witness, experts, attorneys, etc.,
with whom we have associated. Should we have a need for
information in one of their areas of expertise . . . or even
in their geographic area, this compilation of information is
often priceless.

Continue with unknown sources. Hang out at a local bar

or restaurant that you know the target often visits. Pick up


the garbage. Read the previous issues of my newsletter. . .

GET INFORMATION AND TAKE SHORT-CUTS.

For example: Suppose you were trying to gain insight on


a certain person with whom you are considering a business
venture. There are thousands of data files that contain
information on each of us. With the know-how or the
contacts, you can compile a complete dossier on that person
in only a matter of minutes. Imagine the look on your
prospective partners face when you know of his criminal
record. . . or the multiple D.U.I.'s on his driving record,
or the newspaper story about his tragic accident that took
4 lives. . .

When I started the Investigative Technology Agency, I


searched for the very best sources of computer information to
gain maximum benefit for the most reasonable price.
Eventually we were paying thousands of dollars a month in
subscription, on-line, and search fees. So, I launched an
investigation to find companies like mine who were interested
in a co-op effort to get access to multiple databases without
the individual monthly dues and on-line fees.

Finally, I found several information providers who could


supply almost any kind of information I wanted almost
anywhere in the world. I have recently discovered we can
even get mailing lists through one of our sources. So, a few
months ago I sought a deal with some of our information

providers to run inquiries for my subscribers at a volume


discounted rate. They, like the bureaucrats, believe their
information is proprietary. They release this information
only to law enforcement authorities or licensed private
investigators.

NO ONE TRUSTS YOU!

So, as I have never allowed anyone or anything to get in


the way of progress, I've remedied that problem. I've
subscribed to the necessary data sources (over 600 in total)
and added the necessary staff to service exclusively our
subscribers through my agency. We call it this new service:

FAX-CESS

That's right, Fax-Access. When you need information on


anyone, or any company, simply fill in the blanks on the form
we provide, check off the types of searches you want, and fax
to our office at (601) 783-2111. We run your inquiry through
"E. T." (That's the name of our main computer) and out pops
the report, which we will immediately fax back to your
office. We can do these searches very inexpensively.

Unlike the bureaucratic jerks who feel you shouldn't


have access to such information, we completely trust in your
integrity. And as always, stand for what I believe.
Since we happen live in the "information age" then let's use
it! Let's utilize every tid-bit of information in our day to
day business affairs. You are entitled to any information

you need.

PUBLIC RECORDS

The ability to access public records via computer makes


the job a whole lot easier, but there are alternatives, some
of which aren't available through "Fax-Cess." For example:

Marriage Records: Marriage records will provide the name and


address information of the spouse and information about their
birth place and date and other information about their
parents. Often you will discover that the spouse may have
been previously married and divorced, and guess what? The
prior husband or wife will usually reveal a ton of "juicy"
facts on your target. (Usually about 50% truth . . . the
rest coca.) In the "Marriage License" files, you will also
find names and addresses of those who witnessed the wedding.

Registrar of Voters Records: The voter's registration files


will usually contain name, address, occupation, description,
state of birth, registration date, and the signature of the
target.

Criminal Files: While criminal records are available via


data-base research, they are also available on a state wide
basis in many states, simply for the asking. Criminal record
searches are the heart of good background investigations.
These records can dramatically diminish your risk in almost
any venture. They are accessible through state and county
repositories.

If you are a business person who needs frequent


background information on prospective employees, I would
recommend you obtain a copy of A Guide To Background
Investigations, published by Financial Control Publishing,
Inc., 1820 South Boulder Place, Tulsa, OK 74119, or ask your
local book store to order ISBN # 0-941233-14-6. This manual
will provide you with the addresses of state and county
criminal repositories, as well as the names and addresses of
other record compilers, such as, Workman's Compensation
Records, Driving Records, College and University records for
education verification, etc.

ANOTHER WAY. . .

Let me reveal a secret of how to get facts fast. This


is a great plan to use in emergency situations. Start with a
plan as I instructed. Quickly review the information on your
target. Verify the data by name, address, and phone number.

Once you ascertain the address, go to your local library


and review the various "Criss-Cross" directories to match
name with telephone number. Next, refer to the "City
Directory" usually published by R. L. Polk Co., and/or Cole
Directories. Here you will be able to determine the names,
addresses, employment status, etc., of all the nearby
neighbors.

Most of the directories are published annually and are


updated with new information. This leaves a great paper

trail that can help you get "history" on your target.


Use the older directories (usually maintained for years
prior) and go back from year to year checking out your
target. You may discover previous information from years
past, i.e., spouses names, previous addresses, prior
telephone numbers, prior employers, etc.

With all this new information and a little creativity in


designing a suitable pretext you could really get the inside
scoop, particularly from neighbors who didn't like the
target. Trust me, people will rattle off anything about your
target if you are prepared with the right pretext.

Another thing about pretext--it is just as important to


plan your pretext as it is to play your investigation. A
seasoned private investigator has mastered the art of "little
white lies" that we call pretext. You, on the other hand,
will need to design and carefully write out your pretext.
There's nothing that will destroy the effectiveness of a
pretext quicker than stuttering, trying to remember the
details of who you are and why you are calling.

Always design a pretext that will allow you to go either


way with regard to "liking" or "disliking" your target. This
will allow you the flexibility to "share" the emotional
feelings of the person you are questioning. Have you ever
noticed how no-one will say anything bad about someone until
they realize that you too don't like the person in question?
Then they will open up and man . . . talk about a "low-down
piece of scum."

If your target is a "high-profile" subject, you may dig


up articles from newspapers (local, state, and national) Most
libraries maintain what is called a "newspaper morgue" or
micro-film of the past issues of newspapers.

The New York

Times Index, the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, The


Business Periodicals Index, the General Science Index, etc.,
are great references for this kind of research. You mean big
time P. I.'s actually refer to such references. You bet they
do. Knowing what reference to go to can help you get
information fast.
=============================================================

Mr. Enlow is notorious for his determination to WIN


every case in which he is involved. . . He once shared the
following story in is writing that is certainly worthy of
mention. While it may be the nastiest trick of all, it
works!

=============================================================

Now let's talk about the nastiest, yet most effective


means of gathering inside information. . .

The most disgusting, nasty, smelly, and foul places in


the world is where private investigators will usually find
their best inside information, or the clues that put them ontop of information. Yes, you guessed it... the garbage.
They will usually ask one of the neighbors to determine the
day and time of garbage pick-up and then early that morning

intercept the target's trash.

You wouldn't believe what they often find. Along with


the target's discarded mail, (which has their name right on
the envelope) they sometimes find marijuana seeds,
drug paraphernalia, credit card receipts, personal notes,
pictures, broken VCR tapes with really hot porno flicks,
alcohol containers, the target's signature, on and on and
on...

They know what the target likes to eat, where they eat,
what they read, what church they attend, what job contracts
they've had, and overall almost any and everything you could
possibly dream of learning about an individual.

I realize this is a very distasteful job, but when your


butts in the sling or hundreds of thousands of dollars are on
the line, who cares?

Beware of what you throw in the garbage. I burn my


garbage. However, that is illegal in some places, so, I
would recommend that you take your garbage to the dumpster
yourself. Place it in a pile with a number of other garbage
bags, so that yours is not easily picked up.

If you suspect that you are under surveillance or


investigation, consider planting false information in the
garbage. This is like inviting the investigator right into
your web, assuming he or she knows what they're doing.
(Sometimes, P.I.'s stumble right over the garbage, not

realizing that it could be valuable evidence.)

If you suspect someone is checking you out, throw a page


of your appointment planner in the garbage indicating you
will be at such and such place at a certain time. This will
usually help you determine the identity of the person making
inquiries about you.

For example, on one occasion I knew I was under


investigation, so I planted a sheet off my desk calendar
in the trash. It indicating that I would be at a certain
hotel, at a certain time, on a certain date. I placed a
video camera in the window of the hotel and connected it to
the television where I could lay back and watch any cars that
may be circling the hotel.

I recorded the license numbers of the ones I found


suspicious, and in no time at all, I knew exactly who was
investigating me. Then, the real setup began. I was able to
plant even more information which led to a false report, and
subsequently, cost him considerably.

Even now, I have a client who has a business dispute


with one of his clients. It has become a real cat-fight,
particularly since they have now attacked my client's
integrity and done everything they can to cause him trouble.
He "trashed" them!

Well, to make a long story short, do you remember me


telling you that NO ONE CAN STAND A FULL SCALE INVESTIGATION?

Well, that advice is real. Be careful who you tackle. He or


she may be up to date on tricks like the garbage check,
records searches, neighborhood inquiries, and who knows what
else.

This guy really screwed up. You see, my client simply


took advantage of the situation, grabbing up every tid-bit of
information he could find, even the garbage. Using that
information, he now has proof that the guy has been defaming
his character. He even has enough legal elements of proof to
pursue litigation to recover damages. Turn about is fair
play!

You see, the garbage may be a distasteful way of getting


information, but sometimes it pays big dividends. As I have
always said, there isn't a problem without a solution, it
just takes a little creativity... a little thinking... a
little determination.

=============================================================

Sometimes when the world seems to be closing in. . . we


just want to disappear. Have you ever felt that way? Well,
Mr. Enlow wrote the book on it. How about a little taste of
how you can actually disappear and establish a new identity.
Ok, let's do it. . .
=============================================================

DISAPPEAR--NEVER TO BE FOUND!

I get a load of letters from people trying to find


missing persons. Actually, I'm not sure if I have more
letters from people trying to find someone, or from those who
want to know how to disappear and never be found. Who am I
going to write to if you all move off and change your
identities? Oh well, let's talk a little about missing
persons, why people disappear and some of the reasons.

Everyday, there are hundreds of people who are reported


missing across the U. S. How many are missing on purpose?
Well my guess is, the greatest percentage.

I've felt like disappearing at times, haven't you? I


think we all have. Statistics indicate that the majority of
missing persons disappear because of an unhappy marriage.
Mostly husbands, and sometimes wives, obviously "get fed up"
with their partner. They will often stay gone forever. And
the interesting thing is, the spouse won't report their mate
as missing. They're glad to get rid of the rascal. The
other percentage of missing persons consists partially of
fugitives or escaped prisoners and missing children.

Rather than try to go into the hundreds of tracing


techniques, I'll get right to the point and tell you how
those who have successfully disappeared did so.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

Well. . .tell me. . .

1) Are you ready for a new name?


2) Are you ready to say good-bye to all the
Family\Friends\Attorneys\CPA's\Wife, Children and everyone
else for that matter?
3) Ready For A New Car?
4) Ready To Launch A New Career?

The Number One Rule!


Plan Your Disappearance ALONE!

The Number Two Rule!


You Must Completely Detach . . . You're Dead
(No One Ever Said It Would Be Easy)

Yes, your life is history . . . No more family, Bills,


Banks, or contacts whatsoever with the old life. No more
credit . . . no more nothing . . . you've been born again.

If you really want to disappear and never be found, you


have to follow the rules. Trust me, if someone hands over a
$5000 retainer fee and pays my customary $200 an hour, I will
find you if you didn't.

So here's your chance to do it right.

1) Sell Everything - (Discretely if possible)

2) Whatever you can't sell, get rid of, that includes CarsBikes-Boats-All personal possessions including that nice
unique jewelry. (Remember, You Asked For This).

Why do you have to sell everything, even your jewelry?


Well, it's like this: If I were asked to locate you with
little or no leads, I would try to find something unique
about you, your apparel, your jewelry, etc.

If I wish to find you, I would run classified ads


offering a reward for the person who "stole my unusual custom
designed diamond ring with initials on the top!" Think about
it! If I ring callers in on an 800 number, and watch the
call count, I'm most likely to get a good lead to where you
are. Right? So you see, you can keep no identifiers!

NEXT. . .

Move by train - Alone - Always remember: A Secret is


something only one person knows! That person is you!
Frequent flyer points are not something to accrue at a time
like this. If you want it done right, remember, fewer people
expect you to travel by train.

Now. Are you going to use your own name to purchase


your escape tickets? Of course not! So what do you do?
Well, first you order the catalog of Delta Press. They can
be reached at 501-862-4984 or by writing P. O. Box 1625,
Dept. 92S., 215 S. Washington, El Dorado, AR 71731. They
have a couple of really great books of sources for obtaining
new identification documents, from birth certificates to
Divorce Papers to Clergy Credentials. They also sell what
they call their "New I. D. Kit." It's really hot for anyone

who may need to establish a complete new identity.

NEW IDENTITY . . . ALTERNATIVES

When it comes to establishing a new identity there are


several ways one can go about it. Let's touch on these
briefly:

a. Assume an existing identity. DON'T DO IT!

b. Use your original identity if you are an adopted


child.

c. Find an identity. This is the easier one, and most


difficult to track. One would simply go to a
cemetery in their new town and try to find a grave
of someone who was born at about the same year. He
or she would then order a copy of their birth
certificate on stationary using "the deceased
parents'" names on it. I would be sure to use a
mail drop address in the event someone's suspicion
is aroused.

Once you have a new birth certificate, it isn't so


difficult to go to the Social Security Office and get a new
Social Security number. Just explain that you and your
parents have been living in Canada and you've never applied.

Getting your driver's license follows after that. These


people seem to be the most curious of all. The best way to

deal with them is to "take your time." First, take a local


Driver's Education class, and then your teacher will go with
you to get your license. The license office will then for
some unknown reason seldom ever hassle you in their presence.

Should anyone get curious and begin asking questions,


remember that you are an "Army Brat" who lived in an area
where fewer people own cars (Some place very remote but
foreign. I would also make sure there's an Army base there!)
and you've never had a drivers licence. Wait--You drive so
well!??? Remember, you've never driven. Slam on brakes! Gas
the engine in park! Play it up! Play it up!

So, now what do you do? You get established in a nice


secluded area. Get your story down pat (to cover all
possible questions) and then you get a job. Have your story
down pat regarding your past employers in England?

Then, set up house and buy a new car. Be sure to


register it under your mail box address. By the way it
should be registered in your company name: like "J Supply,"
or something like that.

Rent your apartment under your "girlfriend's" name.


(Actually, some "bar fly" for you guys, and one "stud muffin"
for you ladies) Pay them $100.00 or so not to tell anyone
about you and be sure to thank them as you explain how you
were in so much danger. "My husbands so crazy" or "My wife
is bleeding me dry - I just needed to get away!"

Now. Remember these most important rules . . .

Under No Circumstances Do You Ever Look Back.

DO NOT FORWARD ANY MAIL OR ANY SUBSCRIPTIONS!

You are a new person, forget the past! Change your


appearance--beard--hair color--associations, etc.

And always remember--You're dead... You'll have to


renew your subscription under your new identity...

Peace.

Now.... here's a chance to get some more creative


investigation techniques FREE:

Free Report By Michael Enlow, Private


Investigator Reveals 11 Inside Secrets
That Can Help You Get Almost
Anything On Anybody!

Now, a lot of people have asked for this report and for
a lot of different reasons. I don't know, exactly, what the
reason was in your case, but let me ask you: Do you have any

of the following types of people in your life?

Jealous competitors who want your trade secrets?

Ambitious employees who want your success?

Competitive co-workers who want to get an edge?

Unscrupulous partners who just want your money?

An unfaithful spouse who's compromising your selfrespect?

An unhappy spouse plotting divorce?

Clients who arouse your suspicion with chronic late


payments, bounced checks, questionable ethics, lame
excuses?

People who don't arouse your suspicion but


nevertheless control your future (such as bankers
controlling your cash, accountants controlling your
books, manufacturers controlling your products,
etc.)?

Do you have money in any financial institution in the


U.S.? Are you investing in a company or venture you can't
keep tabs on daily? Are you writing a book? Inventing new
products? Enjoying hobbies or activities you'd rather not
have anyone know about? Are people lying to you? Do you owe
people money? Do people owe you money? Have you ever been
conned? Are you suspicious, paranoid, or even just plain
curious about how this crazy new world is running just beyond
the reach of your senses?

If so, and if you'd like to have a profound advantage in


just about every situation you come upon, this is going to be

some of the most interesting and exciting reading you've ever


done.

What I'm going to tell you about in this letter, is how


to acquire and use, what I like to call, the "informationedge". The information-edge, is nothing more than the
advantage you gain by knowing something that someone else
does not know. And in the information-driven society we live
in today, this advantage can quite often be the difference
between sink or swim in practically every area of lifebusiness, personal, financial, or other.

To gain this advantage, you need to have more than a


open line to the town gossip. You need specific, highpowered, techniques and strategies that allow you to find out
things your competitors, co-workers, etc. don't know how to
find out.

That's where I can help you. You see, gathering


information is what I do for a living. As a private
investigator, people come to me to find out things they don't
know how to find out for themselves. I then employ littleknown (sometimes, embarrassingly simple) techniques and
"secret" sources to uncover those answers.

What kind of information can I find out? Actually, a


better question might be, "What can't I find out?" With
today's technology and a little know-how just about anything
about any company, any person, or any topic can be learned
(and in an astonishing short amount of time). Information

that can help you on your job, give you answers in your
personal life, or provide a crucial advantage f or your
business.

In no time flat, I could have a file a foot thick on you


just by knowing your name and hometown. (Including things you
didn't even think were possible to know--and without ever
leaving my desk!)

What I am going to do, is list several (much more than


eleven) techniques I've learned, invented, and incorporated
in my investigations over the years that will probably blow
your mind. If these concepts intrigue you, I'd like to
immediately send you (absolutely free) a special insider's
information package which explains and details all of these
ideas (plus dozens of others) thoroughly and tells you how to
use them yourself.

habitual claimant looking for a chance to sue you?

2.

A fast and easy way to get the exact forwarding address


information of anyone.

only your loss but a hefty fee as well!)

13. How unopened mail is read.

14. Suspect an employee of selling trade secrets? Spouse


having an affair? Learn the fastest and easiest way to
find out if two people know each other, if they're
communicating, and what they're communicating about
(they won't even have a clue you're on to them!). No
illegal bugging or tapping necessary. In fact, you
won't even need to get out of your chair!

15. How to hear everything that happened in your office


while you are away (using a nifty technique to get 10
hours of recording time from a regular 90 minute
cassette!).

16. Dozens of innovative money-collecting tips that work


like a charm.

17. If you have to sue someone to get your money... two


shrewd techniques that will almost always get them to
pay up without having to go to court.

18. A mind-boggling trick for taking photos in the middle of


the night that look like they were taken in broad

daylight! (No special film needed!)

19. Has someone taken out an invisible "office extension" of


your phone line to monitor your calls? Ma Bell may be
an unwitting accomplice, but she can also tell you who's
involved.

20. How burglars pick their targets and several simple,


inexpensive ways to dramatically reduce your chances of
being robbed.

21. Do you use a cordless phone? Beware! Anyone within


miles can eavesdrop on both sides of the conversation
using an everyday police scanner. . .

22. Even more unbelievable: Simply by switching two wires


(or by a common malfunction), the base of your cordless
phone becomes a highly effective bugging device that
transmits (for anyone to hear) everything that happens
in your house or office 24 hours a day!

23. Check you've been waiting for arrives unsigned. Send it


back for signature, right? Wrong! Deposit it fast.
It's what you write on it that counts. (Totally legal.)

24. Instant tip-off on an application that a prospective


employee is probably lying.

25. Rifling your garbage is a common way investigators find


out almost everything about you and slimeballs get their

mitts on your customer names, credit card numbers and


your signature. Even shredding machines can't totally
stop them, but a few "tricks" can protect you (and even
turn it to your advantage).

26. Shoplifters. Who are they? How can you detect them?
How do they shoplift? How can you prevent them? And,
how do you apprehend and prosecute them?

27. How to get the street address of a P. O. box holder just


by filling out a simple form.

Have you ever had someone know something they couldn't


possibly have known? Listen. There are hundreds of
electronic surveillance equipment manufacturers, in the
United States alone, producing massive amounts of newer,
smarter, tinier, harder to find, impossible to trace, and
easier-to-use espionage products every day. (Radio
Shack,alone, sells thousands of phone-tapping devices.)

Someone is using this equipment, and, increasingly,


there's a good chance somebody is using it on you. Scary,
isn't it?

Don't be naive. You can learn how these devices work,


how to detect them, and easy-to-take precautions that will
virtually eliminate the chance of anyone using them on you:

28. How to use a regular voltage/ohm meter to determine


whether or not your phone is being tapped.

29. How to make your cordless telephone conversations much


less detectable.

30. How a common nail and a piece of wire can be used for
listening in on a phone call... from outside the house!

31. Four simple rules you should always follow to guarantee


the absolute best protection from espionage, and
surveillance.

32. Scads of surveillance devices, the differences between


them, how they're used... and, of course... how to stop
them.

33. A dozen ways tape recorders alone can be used to damage


you (or give you just the ammo you need).

Example: During delicate business or legal


negotiations, someone may have a tape recorder in his or her
briefcase with a microphone element glued to a small hole.
He or she will exit the room for a break, leaving the locked
briefcase there on the table--recording everything the other
side has to say! Later, of course, that "private"
conversation tells them just what wanted to know. The
victims are dumfounded.

It is part of my job (along with my associates... of over 600


of the brightest P.I.'s in the country) to keep up on all the
latest, smartest, and most astonishing underworld gadgets

that come along. Some of these devices can be very dangerous


when used against you. Some very useful for your protection.

Here's just a few examples of the "James Bond-type"


stuff that's out there:

34. The "Bug Smasher": An amazing device from Israel that,


when hooked to your phone, instantly renders almost all
listening devices totally useless.

35. The CN stun gas security system: Possibly the most


potent method on Earth for eliminating burglary.

36. Several devices con artists, spouses, competitors,


employees, criminals, partners, or anyone can get at
your local Radio Shack and how they are used to bug your
house, track your car, and tap your phone. (And how to
stop them.)

37. A very effective (and legal) phone device you can use to
find out just about everything you wanted to know about
your lines--if and when employees are abusing your
phone, how many calls come in that are not answered
immediately, who's calling who (and when), and much
more.

38. Video Cameras that can tape through a hole the size of a
panel nail!

39. The rifle microphone: Hear whispers hundreds of feet

away!

40. One of the most powerful and dangerous surveillance


devices of all: Simply connect it to your home or
office phone. Then, when you're away, call that line,
and key in a touch tone before the ringer goes off. It
will turn on the mouth piece just like the phone was off
the hook. You'll hear everything within earshot-shot
and no one will know you're there!

In your free insider's info package, you'll


learn about these gadgets and many more (every bit as
sneaky), plus, where you can get them and how to use them
correctly.

Do you ever have to deal with lawyers? Well, I do.


A lot. In fact, I'm actually a "legal investigator". I've
worked closely with hundreds of attorneys, and I know
a lot about how they operate...

Including Some Things


They'd Rather I Kept To Myself!

But, of course, I'm not going to. Instead, I'm going to


reveal some insider's techniques I've learned that can,
literally, save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and
enormous amounts of time and hassle. Make no mistake... this
is juicy stuff. And if you work with attorneys to any
degree at all, you need to know it. Examples:

41. Breach of contract = lawyers, headaches, and hassle,


right? Wrong! You can easily write all your contracts
so as to almost always prevent the need for legal action
if broken. (Lawyers could do this of course. But it
just wouldn't make good business sense.)

42. What to say during an initial consultation that will


allow you to hire the very best attorneys money can
buy... for a small fraction of their normal retainer!
(Just hearing you have the "big guns" can often times
cause the other side to beg for a settlement!)

43. How and where to get a little-known publication that is


considered to be the best book ever written about
lawyers. In it are hundreds of secrets they don't want
you to know! If you have to deal with attorneys in any
way, this book will revolutionize the way you do
business.

Sooner or later, you (or someone close to you) might be


in a serious predicament that requires some real private eye
"footwork". (Or, maybe you'll be extremely curious about
something that just can't be found out in any other way.)
When that happens, you'll be prepared, because I'm going to
show you all the tricks o f the trade when it comes to the
"Magnum P.I." stuff and how to pull them off without a hitch.

The what to. The how to. The when to. And the when
not to.

Previously undisclosed techniques that will keep

you out of danger and find you the answers you're looking

for, like these:

44. How a stake out is done. How to keep from arousing


suspicions. And how to stay out of trouble.

45. How to follow someone while driving in the city without


being spotted.

46. How to follow someone on foot.

47. Following someone in a rural area? How to make your


vehicle look different every time they turn around.

48. A bizarre trick that lets you see better in the dark by
naturally increasing the "night purple" in your eyes.

49. A professional P.I.'s checklist for undertaking any


surveillance mission.

50. Tip-offs that you're being followed.

And more!

Using secrets like these, you'll be able to do your own


investigative work better, faster (and a lot cheaper) than
to hire a detective! After all, many of the same techniques
you'll learn enabled me to retire at the age of 35 -- with
a success ratio seldom equalled in the industry. And that's
in spite of the fact that just about all my cases are the
"impossible" ones abandoned by other investigators.

I charge $5,000 up front and $100 per hour (plus expenses).

Some people consider that outrageous, yet people


throughout the country are begging to hire me every day.
I don't tell you all of this to brag, but to establish the fact
that...

I'm a Player--Retired at 35 Years


Of Age. I Know What I'm Talking About
And I Want To Share It With You!

The insider's information package, which explains in


detail all of the 50 concepts mentioned above (plus many
more), consists of two parts. Part one is a very unique and
very personal three part video training series called, A
PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH MIKE ENLOW. This was originally
made exclusively for the use of my older brother, Bobby, who
wanted to get into private investigating and wanted me to
show him the ropes. For this reason, it's a little bit
"rough". However, I may also add, for this same reason it is
also very powerful--There is information "shortcuts" using
inexpensive alternatives that I would have never shown anyone
BUT MY BROTHER... There were no producers or directors...

Just me in front of my camera, pouring out all of my


most cherished trade secrets--describing, delineating, and
even demonstrating tips, tricks, and secrets techniques one
right after another for over 2 1/2 hours... I held nothing
back! Revealing tricks that I'd only share with my own
brother.

Part two of your free insider's information package is


my latest book, Private Investigation Made Simple. In it are
hundreds of my most creative info-gathering shortcuts
(million-dollar techniques that business executives,
entrepreneurs, attorneys, and others have paid as much as two
hundred dollars to get) all boiled down to the core concepts
and ideas or doing it my way--the easy way... You'll see
information you never expected to see in print and learn how
to do things you never realized were possible.

Ok, friend. I know, you're asking, why am I willing to


send you this incredible insider's information package... and
send it FREE? The answer is simple...

It's A Bribe!

It's a shameless bribe to get you to sign up for a trial


subscription to my new newsletter, "Inside Secrets".

Here's the deal: I know from my experiences that you


will find the varied nature of my newsletter so valuable that
you will become a client and customer for a long long time. I
want you to become addicted to my way of making life more
enjoyable, successful, secure and become more powerful in
your day to day activities. So, for a limited time I'm
testing to see how right I am... I believe you will find the
information in the free gifts worth twice my subscription
cost, not counting the powerful info you will receive monthly
over the course of a year.

So, if you will agree to a 1-year trial subscription to


my newsletter, I will send you the entire insider's
information package I've described above, containing both the
video training, and the book... and...

YOU GET THEM FREE!

All I ask is that you read 3 issues and give me a fair shake...
If you're not absolutely satisfied at the end of the 3 month
period you can cancel your subscription and I will immediately
send you a complete pro-rata refund...

And You Will Still Get To Keep


The Video And Book--Free!

However, I know, once you start reading "Inside


Secrets", you'll want to keep getting it forever. And if any
of the above has intrigued you, I'm sure you will. Because
every month you will get a fascinating update on the latest,
smartest, trickiest, most down-and-dirty, nitty-gritty
research and investigative strategies known to man--The same
type of information I've described in the 50 concepts
above... only more...and better!

The right techniques and secret sources to give you


quick answers to your worst problems.

Look, the days of doing business on "hunches", outside


appearances, and blind trust are gone. If you want to

compete and get ahead in the fast-paced '90s, you need this
kind of hard-nosed info. It is not a luxury. See for
yourself why successful entrepreneurs, professionals, and
business people all over the world are reading every word of
every issue.

How much is a subscription to "Inside Secrets"? Well,


I'll give you a hint, even though I've spent over 17 years in
the field developing original strategies--and have poured
many many hours of writing and research into this material,
you can get it all...

For Less Than You Could Buy


One Hour Of My Time!

Every city has one or more offices dedicated to assigning numbers to the
telephone wire pairs. These offices are called DPAC offices and are available
to service Reps who are installing or repairing phones.
To get the DPAC number, a service rep would call the old stand-by,
customer service number for billing information in the town the number the
phone is located in that he is trying to get the unlisted number of.. Okay?
The conversation would go like this, 'Hi, San Fran this is Joe from San
Mateo Business office. I need your DPAC number for the south end of town.'
The information is usually passed out with no hassle, if the first person
does not have it or is not helpful, try one from a different prefix in the same
city.

The 'rep' would then call DPAC (note; he would have the listing info from
his own district; again he is calling from a nearby town).
''Hi, Dee-Pac this is Joe from San Mateo Phone Store, I need the listing
for 812 First Street.''
The San Francisco will then give the number at the address requested.
There is no notation at DPAC if the number is listed or unlisted.
The DPAC number for S.F. is, last time it was checked, (415) 774-8924....

ROCK DIGGING; THE ART OF TURNING OUT FACTS
!
!
!
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
DIGGING
Without a doubt the number one, very most important thing an investigator can
know is WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION. Out there in the jungle are books,
libraries, computers, newspapers, and civil servants, all justifying their
existence by collecting and storing data on YOU, and unfortunately, me...
One can prepare a dossier on almost any person, or company, by simply understanding the system, and knowing where and how to dig. The finished product
will be so complete it will scare you. A background investigation done in this
fashion will contain things the target himself had forgotten, along with things
neither his mother nor wife ever knew...
The following list is the most complete collection myself and a number of
experts in the field could come up with. Most of the sources listed are
publicly, or semi-publicly available. Some are considered closed.
In dealing with any set of records under the control of a living person there
is no such thing as a closed source. Some simply necessitate a different plan
of attack.
Civil servants, city hall record keepers and such, are often bendable by the
correct use of flattery and involving them in an ''important investigation'' to
find the real father of Susie before she succumbs to the cancer...
Bribes are often an acceptable alternative. The key here is to determine who
actually needs to be bribed. Never go for the head of a department if a lowpaid clerk has physical control of the materials...
Many of these sources can be found at a large library, or private collection.
Rarely does one have to buy expensive directories. When applicable I have
included source suggestions.
GOOD HUNTING!
TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES --- Most Americans are listed in a phone directory

somewhere. You can find major and many minor directories at big city libraries. The phone company will also give you, free of charge, any directory you
ask for, if it is for business purposes.
REVERSE DIRECTORIES --- This particular edition lists the number, 771-3082,
followed by the owner, Jones, Jim, and address, 69 Peyton Place. Same sources
as the other directories.
PRIVATE TELCO INFORMATION --- Every phone company has a list of their
unpublished numbers, along with long distance call records, credit
applications, where else the target has had a telephone and any additional
listings or references he used on his original application. This information
comes under the control of the telco's Chief Special Agent. He is in charge of
hunting down nasties who defraud the phone company in one way or another and is
probably an ex-cop or federal agent. He usually cooperate with legitimate
police agencies and may help along a PI or other person with a cause.
In smaller phone companies, or outlying districts the Chief Operator will have
access to this information.
Good people to make friends with.......
UNLISTED NUMBERS --- There is no legal way to get an unlisted/unpublished
number. There are a couple of other ways. [see part I] The phone company puts
out a small book of all unlisted numbers in their area. A phone person can
sometimes be bribed to sell a copy of this book. If the number is actually
unlisted a good private detective will have sources for it or follow my
technique.
[This was an excerpt from ''How to Get Anything on Anybody,'' by Lee Lapin.
It's a good book. Buy copies for all your friends.]

! MORE INFO-GATHERING...
!
+--------------------------------+

CROSS DIRECTORY --- Each local phone company publishes a cross directory. This
book lists every address in the district by street and then gives the
occupants' name and telephone number. It DOES NOT list unlisted/unpublished
numbers. The directory is normally updated every couple of months and is
rented on a subscription basis. Many local libraries will have a copy. Most
collection agents, some answering services and many news departments of radio
and television stations will have a copy you can borrow for a moment. This
directory is invaluable when tracking someone. If you can't find their number
you can at least call their ex-neighbors with a nice story and come up with
some information...
CITY DIRECTORIES --- Since the 1800's R.L. Polk Company of Taylor, Michigan has
published city directories for most cities in the US. Sometime later they were
joined by Cole's Householder Directors, Lincoln Nebraska. These directories
are NOT based on telco information, but are compiled by having some $3.00 an
hour ''investigator'' walk from house to house asking who lives there, how many
in the family, the phone number, etc. If they miss anyone they leave a mail
form. Many people who would not list their phone numbers, or don't have a
phone in their name, will obligingly fill out these snoop forms because of the
accompanying propaganda about how important the information is... Most
libraries will have at least one of the directories for their area, phone
companies will list the local office of the directory compilers. Collection
agencies and news departments will have a copy of the directory.
CERTIFICATES OF EXISTENCE --- The government loves you. To prove that they are
constantly collecting data to verify that you exist...
BIRTH CERTIFICATE --- Name of child, eye color, name of father, mother's maiden
name, date and place of birth, father's occupation, if couple not married at
birth, name of doctor who delivered.
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES --- Name and place of birth for the man and woman, her
maiden name, man's occupation, status of any previous marriages, birth dates
and places, blood type.
DEATH CERTIFICATES --- Date and cause of death, doctor who signed the
certificate, residence and occupation, SS number, military record, birth date
and place, cemetery and funeral home names [whatever turns you on...].
DMV --- The Department of Motor Vehicles is a
data; in some states a call will give you the
license number and a small fee (around $1.00)
the favor with owner info, and in some states
details to anyone but the cops. One approach
cops (I was hitchhiking and left something in
is...).

natural source for important


info sought, in some one mails a
to the DMV and they will return
they will not give out any
to this problem is to go thru the
this car, the license number

SCHOOLS --- A cumulative file is kept on every student from kindergarten thru
PH.D. by the school involved. This file will include such things as parents,
addresses, grades, IQ, receiving and forwarding addresses.
[This has been yet another boring excerpt from ''How to Get Anything on
Anybody.'' Buy it, or I'll find you and throw rocks and garbage at you.]

----------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE CAN YOU GET INFORMATION FOR FREE? (or by yourself)
----------------------------------------------------------------------FOIA- Freedom of Information Act was created by the government to allow
private individuals to access government held records so long as
they are not classified. To submit an FOIA you must contact the
FBI in your local area, and send in a written submission. You
should get a good manual, or book on submitting FOIA forms before
you do so. In general FOIA's are free so long as the information
is deemed to be of public interest. If you are digging up a
criminal record on yourself, then you must pay a small fee.
With an FOIA search you can get information on almost anything!
This pertains to government projects, government agencies, govt
statistics or crime statistics, government expenditures, as well
as information about arrests. You can dig up information about
terrorist groups, or assasins, or known "subversive" groups.
Basically, if you can think of a topic of interest, you can do an
FOIA on it.
You must however properly submit the FOIA for proper results...
The FBI takes your request very literally, and they will only give
you what you directly ask for, meaning they'll ive you as little
information as they can get away with. When wording your FOIA
it is best to be very elaborate stating exactly what you want, and
also ask for related information that you didntlist, and also ask
for other similar cases, groups or events, etc.. Basically you want
to word your FOIA request so that you can suck as much information
from the FBI as possible. Classified documents will be provided
but the information will all be crossed out with black ink in the
appropriate areas. Proprietary information to companies will also
be blacked out.
FOIA's usually have a return time of 2- 12 weeks. If your FOIA is
not handled or processed in a timely manner (especially if its a
small FOIA request) then you must write the the FBI and even call
to complain (several times!).
DMV Records- DMV
It i yours
processing
and theirs

records are public information in 49 of the 50 states.


for the asking and their is usually a $10 - $15
fee.. Most states cannot provide instant record rerieval
usually a 1 day turn around time. DMV searches will let

you check if a person has a license, their address, and phone


number, as well as their criminal driving infractions. California
currently has a privacy law where a citizen can request that their
home address be witheld from the records. This having to due mostly
with the fact that California has alot of "Hollywood Actors/Stars".
Many times obsessed nutcase fans have tracked actresses down by
checking DMV records. In one case a fan actually stalked and killed
an actress. However in CA most people dont even know that they
can have their address kept private so it does little good.
Court Records- Your criminal as well as civil records are all public domain
information. If you have ever been sued for any purpose, if you have
ever filed for bankruptcy, if you have ever sued anyone else, or
if youeve ever been convicted of either a federal or state crime,
wether it be a misdemeanor or felony, or wether the record be
sealed or not... it can all be gooten for FREE.. You need only
go to the courthouse, and search the archives. Actually you should
check the rules in your area on who to contact.
Town Records- If you own any property, if you pay property taxes,
if you have a pool or a deck, or a barn on your propertym if
you've added an extension to your house, if you've converted your
garage into a new room, or basement, etc.. all of this information
is in the town records, and can be gotten by any snoop. Even the
layout or plans to your house can be gotten!! Friggin wonderfull
information for a burgular to have isnt it? A burgular/thief/scumbag
can get the blueprints to your house so he knows just how to
break in, where to go, etc..Same with your business.
IRS Tax Records- if your a public official (or even if your not!) your
tax records can be gotten along with the most personal information
that you can imagine! Technically, only public officials records
are supposed to be public, but its possible to get the IRS records
of ordinary people.
Newspaper Archives- Newpspapers keep archives and spare copies of all
of their papers since the paper began. usually this information
is kept in paper format in a vault, but nowadays, the archives
are usually electronic based, and can be publicly searched by a
computer. Newspapers used to keep newpaper articles on Microfiche
filme before computers became poular. You can get info on all kinds
of stuff (mostly people) from newspaper archives. You can search
birth and death records, wedding announcments, criminal articles.
Andy Warhol once said that "everyone is famous for at least
15 minutes in their lifetime"... maybe your target has been arrested
once, or has been in the paper for something (not necessarily bad).
Libraries- Libraries usually have microfiche with the newspaper archives
for the past 4-6 years.
Government- The government can provide you with unlimited sources of
information for investigation. FOIA is the main method, but their
are other more detailed methods, but I wont elaborate on this.
basically, all you need do, is to contact the appropriate agency
that your looking to obtain information from, and they will
usually help you out.
Investigate- The last method of free investigation is to simply do
things for yourself. Nothing can take the place of a competent
professional but, it is a waste of money to have a PI investigate

something that you can do yorself merely by doing an FOIA, or by


going to the library, or making a call.. Basically, all you need
to do is follow your leads to the source. Dont be afraid to call
people, to check their refernces, to check their past employment
history, to search the library microfiche newspaper files, etc..
Even by contacting the appropriate government or state entities
like the DMV (Department of Motor vehicles) you can save yourself
several hundred dollars in detectives record search fees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT ARE THE MAJOR DATABASE COMPANIES?
----------------------------------------------------------------------Their are 3 general types of companies that provide information:
(1) SuperDatabases- A super database is humongous company that keeps
billions of records, but in 1 single specific
area. TRW is an example of the aforementioned.
They are the largest collector/supplier of Credit
Information in the entire world. Their are 5 main
companies that supply Credit information, another
is Equifax (I believe) and their almost as big as
TRW Corp.. NCI is also among the "Big-3 credit corps"
SuperDatabases DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
have to supply "only" credit information.. Anything
that could be considered information, can be
archived and extracted from these companies for
a fee. An example is DIALOG CORP. This company
is the absolute largest supplier of information,
on this entire planet. This company has quite
possibly several million TeraBytes of information
stored (which is 5 times more than all the information
stored in all the libraries in the world). You can
call DIALOG up, pay them the fee, and research
any single topic your heart desires, and within a
matter of minutes/hours, you will get an answer
back. Just as a small example, DIALOG has every single
newspaper article for the past 30 years, they have
every single Internet Newsgroup stored in memory,
they have lists of thousands of magazines, and
associations, they have every single politicians
name in the United States history, they have
politicians names for the leaders of any other
country (AND their relatives).. Basically, if you
can think of something, then DIALOG can get an
answer for you.
(2) SuperMarkets - A supermarket is very much as the name implies.
They are big places, where you can get a variety
of information. SuperMarket companies usually
have access to several SuperDatabases. This allows
you to do a very wide variety of searches without
having to pay the outrageous rates that the
SuperDatabase companies usually charge. Most PI's
are hooked up with SuperMarkets like Datafax.
SuperMarkets, keep in mind, are NOT actual databases.
Rather SuperMarkets are just "gateways" to the
SuperDatabase companies.

(3) 7-11's

- 7-11's are basically similar to SuperMarkets.


You can look up a variety of BASIC information
such as credit records, criminal histories, etc..
for a very reasonable price. You dont have nearly
as good a selection as to the kinds of information
that you get with a SuperMarket, but the prices
make it reasonable for a private individual to have
an account with a 7-11 type system. In fact alot
of 7-11 type systems, will let you do a "single
one-time-search".. As opposed to the databases
which bind you to a year long contract costing $$$.

------ Super Databases -----TRW- This company really needs no introduction. TRW is the largest
holder of credit information in the United States (or in the
world for that matter). Of course they also are the greatest
providers of false information, and soely responsible for
toally and falsely fucking up the credit of hundreds of
thoisands of innocent persons in america. And TRW is also the
least willing of all the credit agencies to fix erroneous reprts.
Equifax- Another of the major credit collection companies

Dialog- Dialog was described above. Dialog doesnt really have dossier
information per se, its not all that usefull for private
investigators, but its indespensible for the professional
writer, or journalist who needs to research a subject. DIALOG
has the largest database in the entire world.
------- Super Markets ------NCI- National Credit Information network used to be one of the big
Credit companies, but has expanded into an all purpose information
collection company. They access over 300 million credit records,
12 million business profiles, forewarding address postal records,
criss-cross telephone directories, social security tracing, and
surname tracing (track a person down with only their last name!)
Aliases you use, employment history, address, phone number, marital
status, you name it, NCI can get it. NCI also offers drivers license
records with driving infractions (this has a 1 day turn-around time
to access), plus 1 million record telephone criss-cross directory.
NCI has a 800 toll free access number to their computer system,
and they charge $700 per year to access their system, plus $10
monthly. and a very small fee for each search. This company
is a REAL BARGAIN! This company is pretty much the defacto standard
for private investigators.
NCI falls under the category of a SuperMarket company since
I do not think that NCI actually keeps any records themselves,
rather they just act as a gateway to the actual database companies.
NCI cannot be accessed directly, rather you must go through one
the many smaller companies that give NCI accounts.
Datafax is my favorite provider to the NCI system.
NCI costs approximately $600 - $850 for a 1 time set up fee,
that is good for life. Then you only pay 10 per month, and
10 dollars per search. But the actual price depends upon
the NCI provider (see Datafax or Jeff KirkPatrick, below).
U.S. Data Link- NCI has access to over 900Million credit reports (even
more than the NCI system). You pay a 1 time set up fee of $975,

and then you pay $4.50 to $55 for each search depending upon
how long it takes and how much human intervention is required.
USDL only charges you for "hits". You dont pay, if the system cant
find the information you wanted.
USDL is accessed by a dial-in number or via TELENET. The USDL
software allows you to set up a "search script" off-line, so
that you do not have to waste time typing once you get onto
the system. This saves on access costs and phone bill charges.
The USDL system has 4 seperate databases which are as follows:
* Credit Records- The credit record searches were described above.
* PC Profile- Provides links to employment data, criminal histories,
driving records, licenses, professional certifications, verification
of college degrees from over 5,000 colleges and trade schools.
$25 is the average search fee.
* PC Corporate- Deals with busines records including Uniform
Commercial Credit Reports on businesses and DBA records,
office reports, federal filings. This is a must for anyone who is
going to buy stock, or investt in a business.
* PC Auto-Provides total complete access to information pertaing
to drivers licenses, and driving records, tracking a person down
by his drivers license. As well as FAA pilots licenses, boating
/captains licenses, etc.. You can do a search on a car and driver
by merely inputting a VIN (Vehicle ID Number on the winshield)
of by a license plate. 47 out of the 50 states have DMV info public.
US Data Link
671 Bayway Drive
Baytown, TX 77520
1.800.527.7930
CDB Infotek- An all purpose provider of public records. Motor vehicle
DMV records, public record filings, fictitious name statements,
court records, marriage records, divorce records and proceedings,
voter registration, death certificates, credit information,
social security traces, postal change of address files, telephone
criss-cross directory.

detectives. The sign up fee is $280 and searches run from
$5 for a DMV search to $35 forcomplex business records searches.
CDB can be reached directly by modem at 1.800.992.7889 or in
California at 800.427.3747
Tracers WorldWide- This company is run by George Theodore. This company
is quite expsnsive, and has several gateways to the major
Super Databases. But where this company differs from CDM Infotek,
NCI and US Data Link, is that while those companies are
"self-serve"...This company will do custom searches for you
that are beyone your capability. The CEO of this company claims
that: "if its legal, then he can get that info for you!"
This company while it may not be quite as big as the other
companies like NCI and US Data Link, the staff has capabilities for
research that the avergae user doesnt have, so you can give them custom
information querries and they will get you an answer. Also this
company has a very unique database. They have a death records
database with well over 45 million names! Why would anyone want
death records you may ask? Well, it does have its uses.. trying to
track down lost relatives, or even for insurance purposes or for
"heir" chases, who want to chase down their families fortune, etc..

This company also has 2 new databases... An extensive DMV records


database, everyone who has a license, is on this list, and a
voter registration list. If your a registered voter, then you are
also traceable!

---------- 7-11's ----------Datafax- National Association of Investigative Specialists


Datafax is operated by Ralph Thomas, a name that should
sound familiar to anyone whos done reading in the field of
investigation and surveillance. Ralph is a licenses PI who
publishes a newsletter and writes for magazines, and puts
out a new book almost every week.
NAIS is a trade association for private investigators, its
quite prestigious, and the NAIS administers this database
syste, NAIS members get a substational discount to access
DATAFAX and the NCI database.
Basically, Datafax is just a provider to the giant NCI
database network. So if you want to get access to the NCI Super
Database, then you should go through this company, as opposed
to some of the other providers.
NCI Direct Access Package costs $795 for the one-time set up fee
for total access including Credit and DMV records.
If you dont want DMV or Credit info, then you need only pay $695.
You must pay a SMALL $10 per month surcharge, and about
$5 - $50 per records search.
All users get a 3 ring binder with an and extensive manual.

----------------------------------------------------------------------REGULATION & ETHICS!
----------------------------------------------------------------------Fuck It!
This article is long enough. I'll be damned if I'm going to
write anymore.
Basically, read the article carefully and make judgements for yourself
about the ethics of all this dossier keeping. If you thought that the
Internet was big.. Welp heres news for you, these investigative
database companies probably have 500,000 times more information in their
files than on all the Internet computers in the WORLD!
This information brokering is BIG MONEY! hint..hint...If one ever had
a hankering to be a private investigator, you'd make a killing providing
information to poeple. Although the real money is made by the major
database companies.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1987 requires that the Credit Agencies
provide you with a credit report every time somebody accesses your records
and all the companies usually coply with that rule 100 percent of the
time.
Also the FCRA states that Credit Agencies can only disclose your

records for legitimate credit purposes... INVESTIGATING somebody just


for the general sake of being a snoop, is NOT a legitimate request for
a credit record. But unfortunately, that does not stop a PI
from getting your information because they often will simply lie
by claiming that the search is for a legitimate credit check.
Lastly, the major credit bureaus such as TRW are totally unscrupulous
as well as careless in their keeping of records. TRW quite often
has erroneous records (this is EXTREMELY common...) and it is IMPOSSIBLE
to fix your credit once TRW fucks it up.. If you dont believe me.. then
try calling TRW and telling them that your record is screwed up..
Watch how fast the nice TRW lady "brushes you off" and tells you that
their records are never wrong, or actually now, they will fee you a line
of bullshit about how to go about correcting your credit. This process
is totally impossible to accomplish as you must have total and complete
records to exhonerate yourself. (I hope you didnt throw out that cabcelled
check from 10 years ago, to prove that you payed yoru phone bill 10 years
ago... cause if you dont have exact documentation, receipts, cancelled
checks, etc.. then they will reject your submission).. In addition, the
worst part is... once your submit your proof so that they can fix
your credit record.. 90 percent of the time, the record never gets
fixed.. Who fucken knows what they do with the records you submitted,
but its proven fact that you will have to submit 5 times, and make 30
phone calls to TRW telling them to correct your records.)
END -- Cut Here -- cut here
