8265 - Cell Phone
Is wireless bug install technology available?
Yes.
Is there some kind of device that can scan her phone and tell her what it finds, and maybe where the signal is being transmitted?
Is that really the question? What if the answer is 'Yes'? Now the cost question arises. And the inconvenience of assembling the phone with the scanner. And the problems of that phone being offline during testing. And finally the issue of trusting the results provided by the equipment and operator.
Your friend has to refine her goal and decide if keeping the phone and number is worth the trouble. If it is, seek help from a licensed PI.

Susan #8265
Susan,
There's an article on the Wall Street Journal's website about ex-spouses stalking their victims using cellphone GPS technology that your friend might find interesting. The name of the article is "Stalkers Exploit Cellphone GPS."

Cell Phone Bugs
I have a friend who thinks her cell phone is being bugged by her ex husband. How can she find out if there is software or hardware in her phone that is doing this? This man has not had physical contact with the phone as far as she knows, so we think it must have been wirelessly installed in the phone.
Is wireless bug install technology available? Is there some kind of device that can scan her phone and tell her what it finds, and maybe where the signal is being transmitted?
Every time I ask someone this, they think the friend is really me. The person who wants to know is really my friend. She doesn't want to ask on this website. My network is full of people who know the ex husband. I don't ask in my network.
Any help is appreciated

Debit Cards for Direct Deposit
Hello,
Just looking for an opinion on the best debit card that offers some privacy but will accept direct deposit, let me do ATM withdrawals, plus pay bills. I have found several, but would like to hear from others who have had a good experience with this type of arrangement. Thanks in advance.

Electronic Pickpocketing
Walt Augustinowicz would like to warn us, in this shopping - I mean holiday - season, that the addition of RFID tags to our credit cards is a lure to the very active Russian and Chinese mobs, and also to bored college kids-turned-hands-free/remote cut purses.
Identity theft has few risks and almost no real consequences to the professionals.
Walt has a US patent on a sleeve he sells in various forms and styles, from the website linked in the article below.

Ghost Addresses
If I'm not planning to receive packages or letters, can I use a ghost addres, like an abandon lot with a mailbox, as an address to use for misinformation?
...
This has been tried and usually does not work. I suggest you find a real ghost address, one where mail will be held for you

...

RE: #8254 NM LLC in SC
I have my cars owned by my NM LLC registered/insured in SC, Direct TV, Electric bill as well as a bank account under the NM LLC. I don't "operate" a business under the LLC name, so I am not sure exactly what you are talking about. I found very little resistance using the NM LLC in SC.

license plate frames
License plate frames are very common here in Georgia, but make sure they don't cover up the County name. It is a violation if it covers it. My Brother in Law got a $150 ticket because of his. Why they singled him out from everyone else, I don't know.
...
Mark is referring to an entry in my blog. As the picture shows, my frames do not block out any vital numbers. And I agree, this is important.

Abused wives absolutely need to read this!
Combine this information with basic common sense. Don't keep your cell phone if you leave your abuser!

RE: 8248 and college
From Mr. Luna's Skip College book:
"I have yet to meet a lawyer who’s content and happy in his profession. Many would get out of the racket tomorrow if it were not for the money. (A Nevada partner in a big law firm once told me that he had no friends at the office because “I can’t stand lawyers!”) If money is the goal, trust me: Many paralegals—and I’ve been one of them—make more money than others
with a law degree, and as a bonus, the paralegals sleep better at night!"
Well, the more and more that I read or discuss in person with attorneys, this seems to be the case. If someone is considering law school, see the link below, "Is law school worth the price of admission? Most lawyers don't make enough to justify the cost of law school" and read some of the comments too, like this one:
"I make now nearly what I made as a paralegal. Except as a paralegal, I didn't have the debt."
To add my own comment: I mean, $17 for "Skip College: Go Into Business For Yourself", that sure beats $150,000 in loans for law school!

SC LLCs
I was trying to decipher the LLC laws in SC. Do you know if I could operate a NM LLC as described in HTBI in SC. I know some states (like FL) have weird rules. Thanks!

What do you mean by "operate a NM LLC?"

Ghost addresses
I'm currently just looking for some privacy. So in reference to your section on Ghost addresses, could you use an old address where you have recieved mail before?
...
It all depends upon whether you can CONTINUE to receive mail there.

RE: 8248 and college
From the late Ed Romney and his book,
"Living Well on Practically Nothing"
"The secrets of successful people are closely held by old families with money. They are passed down from generation to generation. You will not learn them in college. Very seldom do you find them in books or articles. Why am I telling them in my book? Because I am worried about our nation's future... There are too few people these days who are business or investment oriented for our society to continue to be successful. I am satisfied with what I have, and I have no fear of competition. So I have told all I know...Don't feel a college education is essential for yourself or your family. The brightest and most successful man I know personally, an inventor, never went to college. I, myself, learned much more studying on my own than I ever learned from a professor. It may be better to put the $25000-$35000 a year that a college education costs into starting a small business instead...You might learn welding at a community college. Mount a welding machine on an old pickup truck and go around welding all sorts of things. Should be possible with an investment of no more than $6000. Quite lucrative. Better paying than many jobs requiring a college degree."

Tip of the Spear by Simon Black
Thank you Mr. Luna for directing me to Simon Black's site. If it had not been for your recommendation, I would not read his site.
Regarding freedom of travel, the 4th Amendment, and laws being passed for our "safety", Simon Black writes:
"I’m convinced that what we’re seeing right now from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the tip of the spear in the government’s battle for increased control of the public...These tactics are not about security… they’re about submission, obedience, and cultivating the slave mentality– that people should be afraid of their government and happily yield to authority without question or hesitation...This is the tip of the spear, and what comes next can only be worse."

Skip College
I know you wrote a book on skipping college, but do you recommend that to everyone? If everyone did this we would not have well trained doctors...etc. Just wondering what your point of view is?
...
Had you read the e-book, you would know that I list exceptions such as those who wish to become a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor or an architect.
As for the "point," it is to not go into debt for a so-called education you may never use. Rather, prepare early in life to work for your self. That is the only real job security!

Don-8244-welfare nominees
The short answer to Don's question about whether welfare recipients will cause themselves problems by acting as a nominee for a bank account is a resounding YES, it will be a huge problem. Welfare recipients are supposed to account for all of their assets when applying for assistance. Food stamp recipients in particular are allowed $2000 in assets (that's cash, bank accounts, vehicles, property, etc., except for a vehicle used to get to or look for work and the house that the recipient lives in). A bank account in the welfare recipient's name would count as an asset. The fact that the recipient might not be aware of what the bank account balance is (because he was a nominee for someone else) does not negate the fact that for legal purposes, the nominee is the one who owns the assets. Don needs a nominee who is not required to be poor on paper to the government.

Nominee and Income Concerns
I have someone who is willing to be my nominee, however, I have several concerns before I continue the process. If a use him as nominee on a checking account and LLC for performing a business, what would be the consequences?
He currently receives food stamps. Will this hurt his chances to qualify for future food stamps or other social programs. This guy is flat broke and I doubt if he will ever be able to hold a steady job.
Suppose I report this income from the business on my personal income tax return. Then if someone sues me and is successful in getting a judgement against me, would they be able to get a court order granting them access to my income tax returns?
...
"Income from the business ..."
Stop right there. Drop the idea.
