Who is DCS? (was "Finding Married Women}

This is in response to the many e-mails I have received on this subject: 1. I am a consultant that works with major banks in the fraud prevention and due diligence areas. 2. I have no connection whatsoever with DCS or any member of its management. 3. Last week (2/26) I made a personal visit to DCS' offices near Dallas for the purpose of learning more about their offerings. 4. VERY BRIEFLY, DCS has assembled a database with in excess of 200 million records. The database is searchable by any criteria or combination of criteria. As an example, if you wanted to know all Janes that were born on 03/01/42, you can simply ask the system for that information and you get it. If you wanted to know everyone with the last name Williams that lives in zip code 90210, same deal. 5. There is a wide variety of information available, including full DOB, physical description, SSN, address, phone number. 6. What I found particularly attractive about this service is the pricing scheme. There is a one-time charge of $195 to establish an account. Thereafter, you only pay for what you access. A nationwide search is $5.00 and returns up to 100 matches. If you want a full report on one of the "hits" that will return everything but credit header information, it costs an additional $4.00. Credit header information costs another $6.00. So, for $15.00, you get everything without paying any monthly fees or "time online" charges. However, if none of the "hits" look promising, you've only spent $5.00. 7. DCS can be reached at 800-299-3647 or 214-422-3600. Contact's name is Andy.

Quotations

Mr. Bell posted: >Note to the rest of you: Observe how Mr. Peterson carefully avoids quoting >any material that was contained in my notes to him. This makes his failure >to respond to my points less clear. This is entirely intentional on his part. The reason I avoided references is that the E-Mail in question was sent off line to him personally. Fortunately I do not expect others to respect that so avoid saying anything that cannot be made public. However in such cases I do not feel any need to requote everything I am responding to. Warmly, Padgett

In a related vein, consider the work of a Minnesota folk hero from the last century named Ignatius Donneley. Aside from trying to start a Utopian community just north or our town, he wrote a book "proving" that Shakespeare was really Francis Bacon. His proof was based on "decrypting" hints in messages hidden in Shakespeare's writings. Donneley also wrote a book on Atlantis (available from Dover) and another postulating that a huge comet caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. A crackpot, eh?

I am also discussing with friends the idea of the no-domain-name style, similar to penet.fi with various forms of REQUEST REMAILING TO.... In other words, this or that person acts as a (perhaps temporary) remailer from their regular account, gets the material encrypted, and massages it in various ways before sending it out. The point is to increase entropy by creating the technological base for an enormous proliferation of remailer/anon tech at the lowest possible price. Internationally know "elite" (in the good sense of the word) remailers are by definition known, and thus easy to monitor. Mixmaster etc sites popping up from the home computers in the rec rooms of suburbia are not. --tallpaul >Jonathan Wienke >

They are just keeping the markup. It costs less that 2 cents a minute to produce a New York to London call but AT&T charges me more than 50 cents a minute. That sort of markup can't last. They need more copetition. Iphone is just part of the disintermediation. DCF
