I received a letter today from Pacific Bell that describes the details of the fradulent access to my phone records. It was postmarked 26 Aug 1995 from return address P.O. Box 2907, Rohnert Park, California 94927 1 (800) 924-9258. Here is the first paragraph:
August 22, 1995 Pacific Bell A Pacific Telesis Company
Re: 707-826-7712 and 707-826-7715
Dear Mr. Ward,
I am providing this document as a confirmation of our verbal contact of August 7, 1995. At that time I indicated to you that a caller had contacted Pacific Bell and presented himself as you. The caller had sufficient identification and information about your account to convince us that he was in fact, Grady Ward. Despite the fact that we had attempted to secure your account via a password, the caller was so thoroughly convincing as he described "his recent stroke and the subsequent vision problems and memory loss that he had suffered" that he effectively manipulated us into discussing your account. His act was very well rehearsed including labored breathing and slurred speech which resulted from the "stroke". He seemed most interested in changing his long distance company and confirming the amounts and dates of his most recent payments on both your accounts. Of course he wanted the password removed as well since he was no longer able to remember such things.
It was not until after the close of the contact that my suspicions were aroused as I realized that the slurred speech had disappeared. At that point I contacted you by telephone and the "scam" became apparent.
[ details of additonal security measures and official reports omitted ]
Sincerely,
Douglas E. Waterman Manager
This follows the incident with my mother when she positively identified Eugene Martin Ingram as the man who lied to obtain photographs of me and my children in Tacoam, WA, and the phone call to my publisher in Austin Texas from a "Gene Ingram" characterizing me a lawbreaker.
The next time you are interviewed about the criminal cult of scientology, ask them why they continue to employ such a criminal as Eugene Martin Ingram, who I understand makes $700,000 a year with such thefts and lies.
Also is there an attorney on the net interested in helping me stop the harassment and criminal activity of the scientologists against me and my family?
