Best piece of social engineering ever -- it's even phone-related! -- was done in the UK sometime in the late 80s or early 90s.  Dude ran an ad in the paper that looked something like this:
Quote:
 
Guaranteed system to eliminate all your telephone bills once and for all: local rates, long-distance -- it makes no difference.&nbsp; Send 5 pounds and a SASE to <insert address> and the method will be mailed to you on the same day.


Dude made a killing selling slips of paper saying "call your telephone company and ask to have your service disconnected"....

This even made it to court and the judge said (paraphrased), "While I think it morally reprehensible, legally this does not entail fraud. Case dismissed."

This has to be a sign that humanity is in serious trouble. Maybe a new apocalyptic scenario should be titled "Death of Humanity by Stupidity". I believe in the old saying "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is". I guess the another saying, "a sucker is born every minute" fits better.

Perhapse by looking up at the rain and drowning?

The Anarchy Cookbook is what holds many an article about 'phreaking', and using certain type of colored 'boxes' in which produces a certain sound on a certain length, to get free phone calls.

Though, much of the information in the cookbook is at best, shaky, I due believe that these articles are legit.

"Who was the most beautiful Seraph in Heaven?"
And I reply, "Seraph Michael?"
"No."
And I reply, "Seraph Samael?"
"No."
And I reply in finality; "Then surely, Seraph Seraphiel."
"No.
The most beautiful Angel in Heaven was,
Seraph Lucifer
And as He fell, His feathers departed
Thusly, were the Souls of man and woman
Tis the reason why He wishes so desperately for
His Lost Feathers... His Wings...
To fly
Back Home."
-God to Taslan
