*Thoooooose were the dayyyyyyyys..* (Score 1)

Hehehe.. this reminds me of one of the all time greatest moments I experienced back in my BBSing days.

In the 914 area I had a rival sysop that liked to start all types of crap with me. He was a late comer that didn't know dick, but had his daddy's money to throw at making a nice board.

Anyway, this dork started using generated and stolen credit card numbers to buy all types of equipment. Eventually the nervey prick tried to order a limo to take him and his little friends down to the New York City for the day. Suffice to say, the guy at the limo company got suspicious, checked into the CC #, and called the cops when he found out it wasn't his. The limo still came and picked them up, though.. and drove them straight to the state troopers!

I nearly busted a gut when a friend breathlessly called me and told me the news. Man, did that feel good.. I even kept the local newspaper clipping about the big "hacker buster" until today. Unfortunately, another friend of mine got caught up in this, because his board was networked to this dork's.. and the guy I knew was 19, while the punk was only 16. Guess who got hit harder, even though he very little to do with the matter? :-/
