numbers. For $3,000, Brewer sold them a list of 15 numbers, which matched the
list, made by the RBC [Just a tad greedy wasn't he?].
MCI has joined with AT&T, U.S. Sprint and some smaller carriers to form the
Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA). Rami Abuhamdeh, executive
director of Tysons Corner, a Virginia based group, said there have been
several convictions for toll fraud to date, but those cases were decided by
judges, not juries.
A number of federal and state statues apply in stolen code cases, depending on
how and when the offender defrauds the carrier, Abuhamdeh said. Gaston Sigur,
a lawyer for exchanges, they will faze out code numbers as a way of accessing
long-distance circuits and the level of toll fraud will decline.

Welcome to Phrack World News Issue XIV/2. This issue features the exclusive
coverage of SummerCon '87, which took place in St. Louis, Missouri during the
weekend of June 19-21, 1987. Before we get to the bulk of the issue I'd like
to make a note that most of the people who originally claimed that they would
attend did not show up, but this didn't stop us from having a great time. -KL

PreCon'87; Tuc Sunday, June 14, 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started Sunday with the arrival of Tuc from New York. He checked in at
the Executive International Best Western and then later went to visit the
Volkswagon Car exhibit that was currently appearing in St. Louis at the
National Museum Of Transportation.
Taran King and Knight Lightning went to meet Tuc at the hotel unaware that he
had not yet returned from his visit. In the meantime they contacted several
other associates to learn more about other guest's plans of arrival.
Sometime later, Tuc returned to the hotel and fell for a trick pulled by
Knight Lightning and opened the door to his room. From here, PreCon'87 began
and before too long Forest Ranger joined KL and TK. After some more
greetings, Tuc unveiled some of his surprises including a few of his business
cards.
The gathering broke up for a few hours and then regrouped (with the addition
of Cheap Shades) back at the hotel. From there, Forest Ranger led the rest of
us on a trek into Illinois (where they sell alcohol on Sundays). We finally
reached a place called "Fast Eddie's," which served not only as a liquor
store, but as a bar and whorehouse as well. Tuc and FR made their purchase
and the party left for the hotel.
Things remained pretty calm for a while, as we contented ourselves with the
consumption of alcoholic beverages. However, as the night lingered on, we
became restless and loud. It wasn't long until lawn furniture started to
disappear from the hotel's pool patio and this is when we received our first
call from the hotel desk. Soon afterwards, we decided that is was time to eat
and so we sent out for pizza.
Now, although we tried to keep the noise level down, apparently there were
still complaints about us. About 27 minutes after we ordered the pizza, we
received a visit from FR's sister-in-law who brought us a warning. "Get the
hell out of here, the police are on their way!" That's all we needed to hear.
Beer cans were grabbed and we were running for the door, when the hotel
manager and security arrived. We explained that we were leaving and ran down
the hallway. All of the sudden, the Domino's Pizza deliver man shows up. FR
