100 Ways To Disappear And Live Free – Index
LIVING FREE
Avoid attending church. If you must, however, use an alias when attending, and make contributions in cash, never by check. If you are asked by inquisitive neighbors what church you attend, either name one of a different faith than theirs or deny interest completely. Give the minister totally false information about yourself, as these good folks are great gossips when approached by snoops.
Never tell neighbors where or for whom you work. Give them false information on this subject. If you are paid by check, DON’T deposit the paycheck in any account with your name on it. The best idea is to go to the bank on which it is drawn and cash it there. If you make a regular practice of this, avoid becoming familiar with any tellers or other bank personnel. Vary the times and days for visiting the bank.
Visit different branches of the bank, too.
Another check cashing tip: avoid getting it cashed at your favorite bar or tavern. FBI agents probably spend at least a third of their working hours hanging around such places, as they seem to attract the kinds of people they are looking for. Anytime there is a bank robbery, the *first* places the FBI check out are all the bars within the immediate vicinity of the robbery. Don’t laugh. It’s true because it works.
Be wary of answering “personal” ads in newspapers, as well as job offers too neatly tailored to the type of work you did before disappearing.
If the ad calls for replying to a box number at the newspaper, disregard totally: it’s very likely to be a trap. Reply only to ads that can guarantee not having to give yourself away, such as offers for appointments at known companies. If phone numbers are provided in the ad, call only from a pay phone. There’s always a possibility you might be calling directly to a bill collector or private investigator who will give you enough patter to smoke you out.
For some really unique ways to find employment, Eden Press distributes “HOW TO STEAL A JOB”, literally every dishonest way there is to gain honest employment. With the techniques in this book, YOU can call all the shots. Well worth reading even for those who already have a job, too. Someone could be gunning you. This book will open your eyes.
On the job, avoid giving background information to fellow workers.
If you’re planning to stay on the job only for a short while, however, make an effort to plant false and misleading information in the minds of the other workers, such as your favorite pastimes, places you’d like to travel to or live someday, and your plans for the future. Insulate your private self by keeping your personal interests and ideas to yourself alone.
Share the spurious with the curious.
Don’t subscribe to any local newspapers delivered by carriers.
Buy what you need at a newsrack. These cute kids have sometimes been “helpful” sources of information about people’s habits at home.
Don’t be obvious in your living habits. Turn lights off at a decent hour, keep stereo music from annoying neighbors, don’t place empty pony kegs on the front porch, and don’t have pets that stray or annoy.
Don’t do major engine overhauls in the driveway, either.
Be very careful about who comes to see you at your residence.
Avoid anything unusual which might spark the interest of neighbors.
If what you do or the people with whom you must deal are “interesting”, it might be best to arrange get-togethers elsewhere. Keep your nest clean–good “criminal” advice.
Avoid using banks except for actually cashing checks given you by other people. Try to conduct your affairs with cash and money orders.
When using the latter, never write your name on the face or the line marked “Payer”. Use fake names, account numbers, or business names.
For most purposes money orders can be considered “untraceable”, since the issuing institutions (American Express, banks, US Post Office) file the paid orders *by number only*, not by other criteria which might tend to give you away. People and businesses to whom you might remit money orders virtually never record this number, either. They are usually happy to be paid by money order and will consider it the same as cash. Individuals wanting to hide income and/or otherwise disguise their financial dealings find money orders most useful in shortchanging the bandits at IRS, too.
Undertakers are another source like ministers, in that they are good talkers. If you have to deal with one, be on your guard with what you tell him. If you are called on to provide information for a death certificate, give him only the data he actually needs. It should be easy to appear too grief- stricken to want to chat…
Whenever you need the services of a physician, dentist, hospital, etc., make it standard practice to use an alias and an address other than where you live. Pay in cash. Recite–don’t display–your “driver’s licence” number and Social Security Number, making sure that they are totally fake.
Other data requested, such as employer, birth date, etc., should be misleading. Ignore the “warning” at the top of some hospital forms that federal law requires honest information. We’ve never heard of anyone getting busted for such a “crime” who also paid his bill. Fraud is fraud, but identity is your business. Medical records are very definitely NOT confidential. How else would life and health insurance companies be able to decide so imperiously who “deserves” their coverage, and at what rates…? For most people, medical insurance itself is a fraud.
Don’t have milk or other items delivered to you on a regular schedule.
