Mutatis Mutandis: Things to Consider Nope, no fresh scams here, just a few things that have been on my mind for a while… I. Cons do not come with any blueprints, and any that claim to do so should not be followed but developed, built upon, overcome. Every scam textfile you read, every swindle idea you overhear, or every grift you pick up from the evening news, all are to be challenged, analyzed, and remixed to suit your needs. Scams are springboards of multifarious possibilities, they are not recipes that you memorize and then follow mindlessly. There is no such thing as ‘this is what works and this is how you do it.’ You memorize a short-changing bit, get your shit down pat, and then the cashier fucks your game up and hands you two fives instead of a ten. You must adapt general advice to your specific situation. You must give yourself enough room to change your game halfway. If you don’t, you will fail, get tripped up, get nailed. Any text which promises universal success “if you do everything this way” is lying. Following this, statements along the lines of “this won’t work” are to be ignored or laughed at, as are boasts akin to “this will definitely work.” Scams are inherently malleable to the given situation. People are stupid, the challenge lies in figuring out who’s got more brains, the grifter or the mark. There is ample room to situate yourself into your particular situation, to do your own research and make your own molding. This is necessary. DIY is a fundamental characteristic of fraud. You’re not painting by numbers, you’re taking shit into your own hands, scoping out your own scene, rooting out your own weaknesses and flaws before anything else. This does not mean never ask for advice. Do treat it as saying that if you don’t do your own research you might as well turn yourself in right now. Get the spark and then start your own fire, you’ll be burning the mark yourself—YOU—no guide can do it for you, not even this one. There always are, and always will be, exceptions. Find them. II. Don’t act like a fucking pig. “Has anyone actually done this?” See I. Never put anyone in that position. If you are put in that position, answering anything besides a solid No will result in you regretting it, if not today then tomorrow, you will step into some bad shit. Simple enough. Keep your shoes shiny. III. Think anthills. Salami slicing. Penny pinching. Cost shaving. The small things add up. The question isn’t how do I jack that lappy worth 2G’s. The question is exactly how many fucking vitamins do I have to return to get enough cash for that lappy I want. Don’t wheel all that schwag out in one go, return five, ten, twenty times. That’s an obvious exaggeration, if you don’t see that, then you’ve understood nothing. Go back and reread from the beginning. Minimize risk. But don’t miss opportunities. Misdemeanors are better than felonies. A can of mace and quick feet can be better than both. A quick tongue trumps them all. IV. Read all of this at least once more. Yeah, it's just that important. Everything written here is a lie and should be treated as such. Destroy it. Copasetic? Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. Now ignore everything you just skimmed over and get back to what you do best—namely, fucking up. ~DIzzIE '06 ([email protected]) [ www.dizzy.ws | www.rorta.net ] UNDERGROUND FORUM ROUNDUP Version 2.0 Compiled by: DIzzIE {with much gratitude to all contributors!} [c]opyleft 2005 Here’s a collection of currently active forums that are either centered around or devote a significant amount of space to the discussion of various ‘underground’ activities. There is, however, one underground genre that you wont see represented here: warez forums (commonly known as ‘fxp boards’). Their absence is due to the fact that there are several hundred (if not thousands) of fxp boards around, with many shutting down/changing addresses everyday and equally many new ones appearing. Thus, if you’re interested in finding a list of warez forums, simply hammer ‘fxp boards’ into Google and off you go. Note that the forums aren’t listed in any particular order, and are vaguely grouped by area of focus (if any). Some forums require registration before access to the forum is granted. Finally, forums marked as NEW aren't necessarily new in and of themselves, but rather are new additions to this roundup since the last version update. -------------------- All-Purpose Forums: RORTA “Information is Strength, Knowledge is Power” Underground topics include everything from scams & crime and hacking & phreaking to weapons & survival and chemicals & explosives.
