                            ATTENTION! WARNING!



	Today as I sit in front of my IBM, I was called by a friend and

told of the 3 busts that occurred throughout the United States.

	

	Firstly to those who are wondering I until recently ran a 3 node

bbs located in Canada. Being a rather large board, supporting users and

software from Amiga to PC and of course Console I guess Myself and the 

staff were not safe enough when we dealt with our users, or were we?



	Basically something big is going on my friends, Sega and Nintendo

are planning on putting the freeze on our little fun. Starting perhaps

here in Canada? where the laws differ from the United States. As it stands

now you cannot be charged for running a Pirate BBS, however all your BBS

related equipment can be taken without warning.



	I tell you this as I write it on my PC (i have no amiga), because

I fear for my friends. There is something very big unlike anything I can

explain going on. A local console copier store was busted several days

ago.. that was just one step by the Police, Nintendo and Sega to start

whatever they are planning.



	I am really sorry I could not tell anyone, but I was told on the

phone to 1) take my BBS down right away or it would be taken down for me &

2) not to mention the threat to anyone.



	I of course along with some friends decided that this was a joke, 

being into the competitiveness of the scene I figured this was some ones way

of trying to get me scared and trying to stop me and my friends from trying

to put out some titles.



	1 week later however, the joke became a Reality. After a few hours

of close questioning and inspection, they took anything that was related to

the BBS.. modems, my amiga, a few eprom boards of games that have not yet

been released, all my software on disks, except a copy of SF2 (which I

bought) , and a final eprom of NHL. However they did not take my copier

backup units, this is where canadian law really helps the 'guilty' Anyhow I

was really scared and couldn't tell anyone until now what has happened to

me.



	Of course by grabbing my Amiga, they got my bbs intact, my phonebook

with passwords and also information that was compiled by myself and the

group I was associated with about other suppliers, including names, voice

numbers and sources are now in their hands.

 

	All I can say is if you know who I am, and I have logged onto your

bbs within the last week or so, more importantly if I have have downloaded

or uploaded it might be too late for you. They are targeting it appears

anything and anyone related to the console scene. 

 

	The more boards they take down, the less spreading gets done. But

they also have my complete user.data, which also includes full information

on many users.. especially Canadians.. addresses, real names and also

all available phone numbers. To these Canadian suppliers, sysops, and

users I say good luck, I also say if you get a call, which I was lucky

enough to get however too stupid enough to heed, then please take action.

If you have for some reason received a great deal of new users, please

screen them carefully.



	Some of you can figure out who this is, however my name is not 

contained in this warning for obvious reasons. I received a warning which

I thought was a joke, it wasn't, but I can tell you that the next Canadian

boards to go down will not be given the same chance, due to the recent 

American busts, I felt I owed it to some people out there who I lied to

about the disappearance of my BBS.

 

	If you are a sysop with long distance callers such as I, further

more if you have a PC section on your bbs.. watch out!, to go even further

if you have console AND PC watch out! I thank God that all that has happened

to me is a search and seize, no legal hassles however I lost a good 5 grand

or so of computer equipment, being of legal age I consider myself lucky.



	But to my dear friend (you know who you are) I had to tell you and

the rest of the Canadian and World scene what really happened. I owed it

to you for everything you did to my BBS.

 

	I can also say that when they arrived they knew what was going on,

they knew I could supply, they knew everything, which leads me to believe

there is a mole somewhere in this country. Hearing the facts of the USA

busts, I now know for a fact there must be someone working with Sega,

Nintendo, someone that is high up to know the shit they asked me about.



	Peoples names, numbers, they knew about suppliers, sysops, freakers

and hackers. Strangely enough I know no freakers or hackers that still

remain in the scene today.



	They asked me if I was on boards from across Canada, from Ottawa

(613) to Montreal (514) to Toronto (416/905) and to Vancouver (604). To make

matters worse, they also grabbed some accounts of my cosysop who shall

rename nameless at this time. Which means if you know who I am, you know

who he is. I would advise you to make sure he is the real deal (also buddy

change your passwords eh?). Anyhow they also asked me if I was on certain

boards in the different area codes. From what I can gather they have 

all they need to take down several big boards, ranging from small one noders

to big multinode HQs. I can tell you the lists in 514 & 416/905 are great.

Don't think they do not know, even if you are 1 node and small, they may have

you.



	They seem to however at this time are really interested in

multi-node systems which advertise greatly, I would like to ramble off

all the boards that they asked me about and the big console users that they

wanted confirmation off. But I fear for their safety and do not want to make

matters worse for them or myself.



	I just want to say that although I had many 'friends and enemies', I

figure no one deserves to go down this way. But I want to warn a couple

sysops out there, Because I know who is being watched, please DELETE my

accounts.



	If you are multi-node, console and receive AT&T callers from overseas

as well as US callers then watch out, they are watching you. I also know 

that because I did not make illegal phonecalls that had something to do with

the warning. The next people will not be as lucky especially those who

are making illegal phone calls I surmise.



	To summarize, take care and greetings to all my friends, especially

my friends in the UK, Austrailia and the United States, TAKE CARE!

 

note to And&Rip, I know how you guys feel, wish I could of helped, looks

like you and I are both out of the scene, hopefully our respected groups

will continue their competition.

 

Who's next? Where does it stop? being asked about certain friends, and

telling them I didnt know them and then being told information about them

that was personal really shocked me. We are not dealing with some small

time bust, they know where people pickup games from, they know where

people work, where people go to school, etc.. be careful!



	That's it!, take care and please spread this, I forgot to mention

when they were asking me questions they showed me computer printouts of

various title screens of many boards that I called. That scared me, they

know for sure what they are doing.



	One final note, to my partner in crime, take care sorry I had to 

hide this from you, but I had to, give me a call and we can talk.



				... The Great Sock Supplier!
