INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to Part One of ID Hoping, I hope you enjoy this file, and get as much
use out of it as I have gotten writing it. The objective of this file is not
to help you make fake identities, but more appropriately take over someone
else, and then abuse their respective accounts. There are essenctially three
types of identities (other then the one you're born with), and they are; Created,
Forged, and Borrowed. With created, you forge all the paperword needed to make
the identity legal, and from that point on you are essencially that person for
life. With forged (which will be covered in depth in part two) you just create
the minimal ID's, instead of applying through the state. With borrowed, which
is what this file is concerned with, you take over another living person's ID
in order to abuse their specific credit. From the point you transfer his
identity over to you, you are him. If you don't have a criminal record (and
thus no fingerprints on record) you can really create a mess if caught with the
borrowed stats, since they think they have him, not you, and look for him (but
he looks like you (pretty wild, eh?)). This project has many uses, all limited
only by your imagination, and any given laws in your state (ya, right).
And now... For the disclaimer, which I'm sure you are all waiting on the edge
of your seat for... Well, wait no longer! I claim ALL responsibility for all
the misdeads done with the herein information, and accept my sentence to burn
in hell for eternity (with pleasure, eh?). Any illegal uses gained out of this
file is PURELY QUINCIDENTAL (ya, right), and if you come up with an illegal
methods I haven't mentioned please tell me, so I can, of course, report this
to the proper authorities (after I try it for a couple months). If you enjoy
this file, send me some money or stolen merchandise, or anything illegally
gotten at the cost of others. To accept something legitimately purchased might
lessen my chances in Hell... And now, on with the file...
WHAT YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In creating an maintaining an identity, the hardest part is to stand up to the
background check. Since this usually delves fairly farther then the identity does,
it shows quite well when a created one is used... This is not what you want. By
abusing someone who already exists, you simply take advantage of the fact that with
them, there diffinantly will be some sort of past, and that they are not wise
enought to realize exactly what is going on. About the longest I've ever been
able to control an assumed identity is around two to three months... At around
this point word starts getting back to the actual person and they quickly take
steps to shut down all the work which you have so carefully done... But that's ok,
you should have already done your damage, and now it's far too late for them to
do anything of any consiquence... On to the next identity. It will on average take
the normal Joe around five to six months total to realize just what has happened.
You see, the last thing people expect is that someone is using their name and their
ID and THEIR bank account for fraudulent ends... But hey, in this case ignorance
is definantly not bliss! hehe...
FIRST STEP - GENERAL INFORMATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You need some basic information about the subject who you wish to take over.
Here's a list of what you pretty much need and where you can get it:
* SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER - Checks and sometimes drivers licenses
DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER - Checks, drivers license, DMV
# DATE OF BIRTH - Checks and sometimes drivers licenses
* FULL NAME (AND MIDDLE) - Checks, drivers license, bills, phone co.
MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME - Bank
# MARITAL STATUS - Bank and phone co. (sometimes)
# CURRENT ADDRESS - Checks, drivers license, bills, phone co.
PHONE NUMBER - Checks, bills (sometimes), phone co.
* - Can get from CBI (Equifax) pullups always.
# - Can get from CBI pullups sometimes.
[blank] - Can never get from CBI pullups.
CBI is probably the most widely used method, but as you can see, it will not
supply you with all the infomation you need. When I list check or drivers lic.
I mean this for people who work in stores and take checks. You all know that
you write down a bunch of information off of the license on the back of the
check, and this is probably one of the best sources. I have even been able to
scam their maiden name this way as well! Of all the information you need, the
mothers maiden name is perhaps the most important and hardest. This is used
primarily by banks and credit companies, and is a real bitch. I have found the
best way to either go into the bank and change the person's by acting like you
told them the wrong one, or by calling up the actual person and bullshitting
it out of them.
The best thing about once you have a persons maiden name is that it doesn't
change and you can burn them for the rest of their worthless life! Well, maybe
not the rest of their life, but the bank will keep using it at least three or
four more times.
SECOND STEP - TEMP DMV LICENSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can always get a temporary license sent to you by the DMV by telling them
that you lost the origional, and you're on a trip out-of-state. They will usually
have one to you in about five working days, and then you're ready to have some
fun. They require almost no proof of who you are over the phone (which is a real
joke, eh?) and the most I ever was asked was when my birthday was. You can get
almost all the information you need off of a normal CBI pullup, or from a friend
if it's someone who you know. Sometimes you can get away with simply the name
and address of the person. Now one note on these... No two states temporary ID
is the same, which makes forgery of these a BREEZE! I will be releasing a rather
large file around the first of the new year which will be around a meg zipped and
will include high-resolution scans (800dpi, 24bit color) of almost all of the
fifty states licenses, and temp ID formats. I'm sure you can come up with MANY,
MANY uses for something along this line, right? They'll be in TIF format, to make
them compatible with any decent system.
Once you forward this, it will give you alot more information about the subject
then you already had, for example, his height/weight/eye color/hair color, etc.
Then with this you can decide whether or not a complete takeover is truely fesible
or not. There usually will be no problem if you just basically fit the description
on the slip, like if he's 5'-10", and you're 6'-10" you'll easily be able to take
it over. You also can sometimes get the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to
actually change some of the information to better fit you, like height or weight.
I have been able to change the eyes and hair on rare occasions, and it's always
worth a shot. Just tell them something along the lines like "I think there was
something wrong on my old one... What was my weight listed as?", then just say
"Yes, that's it, I really 180, not 140.". If the height is for some reason way
off, tell them you though it was supposed to be inches not feet/inches (this only
works if you are shorter than the person in the ID, considerably).
THIRD STEP - BIRTH CERTIFICATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The birth certificate is like the corner stone of the new identity, and is also
one of the most important things that is easy to get. You need no ID to get this,
simply say that you are the person. The easiest way to locate the person's place
of birth is by referencing the largest city in the state that their social security
number was issued, or by the first address listed on the report (if you're using a
CBI pullup as a target). Call up the hall of records, which is where is will be
located, tell them that you live out of state, lost your copy and need another
notorized one. Usually they will send it with no hastles, although some cheap-
lame states will make you send five dollars (almost never more), and a fucking
SASE... Cheap! If all the government agencies operated like that there wouldn't
be a deficit! Anyways, then send it through our wonderful postal service, so it
will usually take one to two weeks to recieve, but it's well worth the wait.
I would recommend anyone who does this to save the birth certificate, or if
you are really cool, send it to me so I can scan it and make it available for
others to use (without the name, blank ones are much more valuable). Otherwise
just keep them for reference, and for forgery (which will be covered in the second
part of this great series).
FORTH STEP - SOCIAL SECURITY CARD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is usually easily gotten, by simply going down to the social security
office in your town, with the birth certificate and telling them that your wallet
was stolen and you need a replacement. Realize this, the SSN doesn not show or
even indicate your true age, so you can in theory take over a much older persons
identity (covered later on in the file). The will usually print up a new one for
you right there and you're ready to go.
If you wish to avoid this, you can usually get nice metal plates made that
resemble a social security card, with any number you want engraved on it. This
is usually done at like K-Mart-type places. Although I would recommend going
along the normal paths, you can always do this if you feel to unsure or are using
a forged birth certificate of shitty quality.
FIFTH STEP - REAL PHOTO LICENSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is one of the more difficult parts of the takeover, and required that you
successfully completed all four of the above steps. All you do is take the persons
birth certificate and social security number down to the DMV, along with a letter
the person's state will supply you with that states you are moving from there,
have lost your license, and verifies the information you have given. With all of
the above fulfilled you should run into NO problems whatsoever in the DMV, and
since these people are generally overworked and underpaid, they will let some
minor mistakes slide easily. Make sure that you have access to a car, since most
state will require you to take another driving test, and also that you have all
of the person's information memorized, since it's bad news if they catch on to
you while you're trying to get a hold of a government identification.
I also would recommend that you keep a hold of these with the birth certificates
and anything else you should happen to get. I will talk a little about this at
the end.
SIXTH STEP - ATM CARD / BANK ACCOUNTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for the profit part, and then the fun begins. This is the most difficult
part, simply because you're not dealing with retard government employee's any
more... Although bank people aren't paid or treated much better. About the only
info a bank will require or ask (and not all will) is for your mothers (or more
appropriately his) mothers maiden name. This is a real bitch and pretty much has
to either be extracted from the banks computers, from the real person, or by
bullshitting some employee, although the former is VERY difficult.
Once you have this, simply ask for a replacement ATM card, flash that nice new
state-issued ID and they'll mail you off one in less than a week, with a copy of
the real person's PIN. And if this poor sap doesn't have one, then get one...
After all, you are him, so why not.
Also make sure to take over all of his banking and checking accounts. When you
are pulling money out, make sure to never get more than $5000 per day, otherwise
they have to notify the government, and this is one thing that you don't want.
Also the bank account and ATM card just are two more forms of ID for this wonder-
ful identity... And should be kept safe with the rest of the paraphanalia.
You can also get the subject's credit cards re-issued to you, and then also
make sure to hook them up to the ATM, so you can get cash advances from them
without having to deal with any real people. A little less than half of the
ATM machines have real cameras, so just go around and scam out the ones that
you know don't. Ones which almost always don't are those is 'safe' areas, like
hospitals and in malls.
One more way to make cash with this new-found identity is to follow all the
steps covered in the file 'Bank Fraud', by LE Pirate and released by cDc. Just
use the real person's bank account, and don't stress on the ID, then that files
idea works GREAT. Good thinking LE!
SEVENTH STEP - PURE RAPE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now you essencially are for all intensive purposes this person, so you can do
everything a person would normally do, such as apply for a car loan, in a no-
title state (refer to my file 'Auto Theft, a Practicle Approach'), drive it for
a week or two, get the plates, then turn around and sell it for a nice profit
to a local used car dealership. They usually will buy it with no problems and
have no way of knowing who owns the car outright. Then just use the ID to cash
the check at the issueing bank and wala... You just make a good $10,000 on like
a $20,000 car. Try to choose common, easy-to-sell cars, like Mustang 5.0's or
Mazda Miata's. Don't get a Ferrari or Lotus, since no place will by it and it
will look totally suspicious if you sell it low.
You have the guys credit cards, so spend! Jeez... Or just pull money out of
the ATM until there isn't shit left (my personal favorite).
You can also do a little twist on the idea of the car loan, and just take out
a personnal loan from your (his) bank. Then just cash it and pocket the cash.
A LITTLE BIT OF THEORY AND ALOT OF LUCK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have only been able to pull this off once, although I honestly haven't tried
it too often. What I did is took a forty-two year old guys Identity, and changed
the birth certificate to say 1969 instead of 1949, then went to the DMV and made
it look like some kind of computer mixup (and we all know how often those really
happen, hehe). Then I got the guys drivers license, with my picture on it. I
then went to the bank, and pulled the same trick on them (although they were to
damn dense to even realize it!) and got the guys ATM/savings/checking/line of
credit/credit cards. Needless to say, he had quite a good amount of credit which
I used to the fullest exstent.
This is definantly more benifical, unless you're like 30-40 and can take over
people who have decent credit, but considerably more dangerous. Since not only
are you dealing with forged documents, but ones which conterdict the ones which
they have.
STASHING REFERENCE MATERIAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would highly recommend that you keep all of the shit you forward, to refer
to when needed... But NOT in your house. Use one of the identities, and get a
safe-deposit box at a bank. Then, put all the info in it, including that identity
papers. Then just put the key in a safe place... Since one of these identities
will stay good essencially forever you have no need of worring that they discover
the box, and it is almost impossible for them to connect it to you. Most nice
banks even have killer private rooms for you to look over the papers, so you
don't even need to leave the bank! I personnal keep one, and love to go in there
and run my fingers though all those wonderful ID's and papers!

CONCLUSION
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, as many people have told me, my destiny lies in hell, where, of course
I will just take over some poor saps identity and then go to heaven (if I hell
doesn't turn out to be a challenge). And isn't a challenge what we all are out
here looking for? Well, I hope some of you damn goodie-goodies out there stop
talking about doing illegalities, and start doing some... Then you'll learn
just how much fun it is to take things at other peoples expense. hehe, fuck
'em. As usual, I am going to laden this with some greetings to all the little
people out there that made this wonderful, and quite entertaining file possible
as fun: The White Rider, Grandmaster Ratte, /<ludge, Death Mage, Visionary,
Strato-Viper, One Meg Cacher, and anyone else who I am in any regular contact
with. I also want to take a moment to welcome Maximum Overdrive back to society
