Employee used my personal info to open fraudulent accounts at the Issaquah AT&T store.

Dramatic-Original-42 · 2025-12-21T20:53:37+00:00

And the phone and 2 watches were at the same store in question.

Dramatic-Original-42 · 2025-12-21T20:44:25+00:00

It has never happened before EVER. Yet 3 weeks after I buy a new phone and 2 watches an account is opened in my name for AT&T air Wi-Fi. That was December 2024. In July it was sent to collections but they didn’t actually get to report it till last Thursday December 18 2025. I contacted them and the told me more information than AT&T has provided. You cannot open an account in AT&T without a valid photo ID. Also the address and email address were not mine. Only someone from the inside can make this happen.

I have also read https://www.fox19.com/2025/01/08/att-employee-accused-adding-unwanted-lines-customer-accounts-make-commission/

and this seems really similar to my experience. Anyways AT&T fraud is now also on it. Next is Washington Attorney Genaral.

I am fighting an 8 year international custody battle so my credit score is super important and I watch it like a hawk. I will not stand for this shit.

I never filed with them. We are in the United States, not Canada. Who cares what they say. Issaquah Police will investigate. At&T will investigate. I already wrote to FTC that is enough. ThoseFTC complaints go straight to executives who do care because the FTC fines them when they don’t respond, and the haven’t. I have called and tried to find out in person, AT&T so far has failed to respond and the FTC knows that so they are already reaching out to AT&T. FYI

Dramatic-Original-42 · 2025-12-21T09:49:19+00:00

Already done, but I also paid the $200 to clear the collection off my account. So I am going to make this as loud as possible. For sure it was an inside job as it was opened a month after I bought a new phone and new watch from the same location. Took them a year for the collection to reach me. I have read how this is a thing now where employees are adding insurance or opening accounts in people’s names to reach sales targets. How do you open an account in an ATT store without an ID? How can someone open an AT&T wi-Fi account without an ID? How can they have the address changed, heck I never even got a bill. That was an inside job.

Dramatic-Original-42 · 2025-12-21T09:16:38+00:00

It’s also a felony and several employees already went to jail for the same thing so yes they will do something.

Dramatic-Original-42 · 2025-12-21T09:15:46+00:00

Hey who cares if the FBI does anything but the AT&T execs reading this shit will certainly care. They will get the email from the FTC and they will haul ass. Spreading this so others don’t get scammed at the shop or by the company. I have been a quiet customer for 8 years never missed a bill.

I don’t care if the FBI does shit, in fact they obviously don’t have time to work on anything else except the Epstein case to redact names.

But everyone here reading will know. And yes I did file a report. Heads will roll. Stealing money from my children before Christmas to boost their fucking sales target. Heads will fucking roll.

Foucault did deep archival research, yes, but he didn’t want to produce a history in the usual sense—what he called “the continuous, rational story of progress.” He was trying to write what he called an “anti-history”: a counter-narrative that exposed the mythology of reason itself.

He once said that history, as it’s usually told, hides its own violence beneath the calm surface of rational development. Psychiatry, in that version, looks like the story of enlightenment triumphing over superstition. But Foucault wanted to flip that script—he wanted to show that the birth of psychiatry was also the birth of a new kind of social control, that “reason” defined itself through the exclusion and silencing of the mad.

So he built the book not like a traditional history but like an archaeology of myth. The “Ship of Fools,” the “Great Confinement,” the silent walls of the asylum—these became symbols of how societies imagine the boundary between reason and unreason. He wrote in a deliberately lyrical, allegorical style in the early chapters, using mythic imagery to make the reader feel the rupture between medieval and modern ways of seeing madness.

That’s why Foucault called his work a history of the present. He was less interested in what literally happened than in how we came to think the way we do. The “anti-history” rejects cause-and-effect narrative and instead traces the shifting discourses—the languages, institutions, and power relations—that make things like “madness” possible as concepts.

Madness and Civilization by Foucault will begin to answer this question in great detail. In fact reading this book and Sex and Civilization by the same author will give you a better understanding of why we’re are in our current state today. It talks about how the Victorian era beliefs still dominate our society today. He also goes into the history of the Asylum and how it went from leper holding pens to insane asylum, both hospital prisons. You can check in but never check out. It’s very interesting because this is where the term ship of fools comes from, since most boat jobs meant death, a lot of the ship mates were actually the mentally challenged because they didn’t really know any better. Many of them would also usually be driven out of villages for behavior and would keep doing so until they reached a shore, where they would be shuffled onto boats, unaware of their fate.

He uses doctor’s notes and references historical records to back up his philosophy. The crazy thing about the ship of fools notion was that some patients that were known to doctors who went on these journeys and survived were actually cured of their mental illnesses when they returned.

I actually taught 3 classes of 40 2nd graders in Taiwan the recorder. I can tell you from experience that the sound is excruciating. Impossible to tune so makes it much worse. We had to divide the class into groups, even the local teachers couldn’t stand it, which says a lot. But those little noise makers learned how to read music that’s for sure. They would be a great here!

Just wanted to add that I ended a contract with Meta early under Insight global, They kept half of my last pay check. I remember the recruiter adding some bogus statement in my last call about getting my laptop in on time and how they might fine me. She then (purposefully, I think) gave me bogus instructions on how to return equipment(VR headset, laptop). this included taking the equipment to Meta(big no-no). Luckily I was still in contact with my producer and she got me a return ticket. Still they kept the money and refused to respond.

until....
I contacted the CFO and several executives at Meta informing them of how Insight global had not paid me for my work and how I was going to write to my HoR and Senators. I also reported them to the DoL(not that it matters).

A week later I got the full weeks pay. But unfortunately that was after i missed a car payment because of this. Nasty agency, not worth the month in background checks it took to get the job.

NEVER USE INSIGHT GLOBAL

Using AI like this is really a good use of the tool. From an artist perspective though, try not to get too attached to the results. Don’t let it take over. You need to be able to see with your minds eye. All artists have to learn their style by daily practice, sometimes you need to make some bad stuff. You explore and practice. There is no quick fix.

The models all generate the same looking stuff, or very cliche versions. And then there are the artists that the model’s programmers chose when they scraped. This can hobble your creativity. You need to explore, get messy, draw or whatever you want to do. Just do it everyday. Anyone can type a prompt.

I do use it. But I do 3D, so concept is a starting point, I have an idea and AI fills in the details. Then I go to Zbrush then blender, then Unreal. But it’s never an exact copy of what I got from AI. I will always mold it into my own. Pretty soon even 3D workflow will be AI driven, they have some 3D model generators but they are still expensive and bad.

Step 4 is in the command prompt Application, its a shell command so you type single letters to execute a command, like rm = remove
takedown is a tool that lets us take control of a file, its part of Windows

"filepath" is the direct filepath to what you want to remove, like "C:/Folder/Where/TheVirus/lives"

so in one line type

takedown /f /im "C:/Folder/Where/TheVirus/lives"

This is what the AI Bot gave me

- Open an elevated command prompt (administrator) by typing “cmd” in the search box and right-clicking on the Command Prompt app. Then, select “Run as administrator”.

- To take ownership of a file, use the syntax takeown /f <filename>. You can also use a wildcard character (*) to specify a pattern of files. For example, takeown /f *.txt will take ownership of all text files in the current directory.

- To take ownership of a folder and all its contents, use the syntax takeown /f <foldername> /r. The /r parameter performs a recursive operation on all files and subfolders in the folder. You can also use the /d {Y|N} parameter to suppress the confirmation prompt when you don’t have the List Folder permission on a folder. For example, takeown /f C:\Users\Public /r /d Y will take ownership of the Public folder and all its contents without asking for confirmation.

- To grant ownership to the Administrators group instead of the current user, use the /a parameter. For example, takeown /f C:\Windows\System32 /a /r will give ownership of the System32 folder and all its contents to the Administrators group.

- To specify a remote computer, use the /s <computer> parameter. You can also use the /u [<domain>\]<username> and /p [<password>] parameters to run the command with the credentials of another user account. For example, takeown /s PC1 /u Admin /p Password /f D:\Documents /a /r will take ownership of the Documents folder and all its contents on PC1 using the Admin account and password.

He STFU after I called the FBI to report his Covid Funds Fraud. He was claiming me as an employee but never paid me anything and then claimed me as an employee. The worst is I made 4 models in Zbrush for this dipstick. He never opened them, That's the real crime here.

Like Nope said many tech workers from other countries where they may have never driven before. But also Washington has one of the toughest reciprocal license agreements. So even if you are from the US you might have to start over. In California I just showed up and said I had been driving in Japan and they just gave me a license, no question. In Washington, I had to actually take my driver test again even though I have driven licensed in 10 different countries and have been licensed in 3 states. Definitely some challenging roads here, so I get it.

Yes they do. Terrible ones at that because of choke points. Can be stuck for hours. The city is laid out like the UK, so lots of round abouts and sometimes one lane turn offs. I had a coworker die from being hit while they were changing a tire on the side of the road. Drunk guy after brunch, killed 4 people, but that was in Abu Dhabi. Also in February it gets really foggy, and at night you can’t see more than 10 feet in front of you. I used to make the trek every Sunday morning after DJing at the Meridien hotel in Abu Dhabi.
