48. If a credit card company and an insurance company
Sat Feb 4, 2017, 03:34 PM
Feb 2017

have your "burner" number, it's not really a "burner" phone, now, is it?

"Hello. Is this MassaCard?"
"Yes"
"This is Special Agent Joe Blow from the FBI."
"How are you today, sir?"
"Just fine, thanks. I'm calling today because I have a court order allowing me to ask you if you have a customer who uses the phone number 555-555-1212."
"I'll need to see that order, sir."
"Yes. It was sent to your fax machine ten minutes ago."
"OK. I'll check....yes, I have it here. Let me run a search."
"No hurry."
"Here it is. We do have a customer who uses that phone number. The name is Ima D. U. User. Do you need the address?"
"Yes, that would be helpful, thanks."
"The billing address for that MassaCard is 5515 Any St., Smalltown, NY 11012."
"Thanks for your help and have a nice day."
"You, too, sir. Bye."
