Rough draft The California Highway Patrol, the Corrupt Judge, and the Police Report The San Bruno PG&E fire, and the links to the above phone number
Dear Mr. President, Rough draft
Eight dead bodies and a fictional phone number The above circled phone number can now be linked to the death of eight people. On September 9, 2010, an underground PG&E pipeline failed, causing a huge fire that killed 8 people, injured and burned dozens more, and destroyed 38 houses.
Non-Existent seamless pipe In the aftermath of the explosion, it was found that PG&E records fraudulantly stated the 30" diameter underground pipe, which was installed in the 1950's, was seamless. According to experts, 30" diameter seamless pipe was not available at the time the pipe was installed.
Non-Existent Records In the preliminary investigations, it has been found that PG&E can't find a lot of records, including records of where $5 million went, which was appropriated to replace a section of the pipeline near the area that failed.
A Non-Existence phone number According to AT&T, the above circled phone number, which received service through a phone line that was known to be defective, has the last five digits of "85093." I claim the phone number has the last five digits of "25093", and this proves AT&T committed a series of frauds to conceal problems in the underground infrastructure providing service to my premises. An internal phone company document I photographed dated March 16, 2009 can be used to prove that no such phone number existed in my neighborhood. If it is proven that a phone number with the last five digits of "85093," did not exist in my neighborhood, it can be linked to events that led to the PG&E pipeline explosion.
So far, nobody in government is willing to make the determination of whether the phone number has the last five digits of "25093" as I claim, or "85093" as a telecom Attorney claims. This includes corrupt CPUC Officials who have repeatedly helped public utilities conceal problems in the underground infrastructure, and the FBI, which was asked by Congresswoman Tauscher on May 16, 2008. Congresswoman Tauscher, letter May 16, 2008
After the FBI refused to respond to Congresswoman Tauscher's letter, her staff in Washington DC told me it would be up to the Executive Branch of Government to answer the question about the phone number, hence the website, www.APhoneNumberForThePresident.com
The biggest mistake of my life -- complaining about altered records In March of 1997, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I filed an informal complaint through the California Public Utilities Commission, complaining about telecom executives altering records to conceal recurring problems in the underground infrastructure. March 28, 1997 One of the executives I complained about was Linda Standen. Later, she went to work at PG&E -- this links at least one PG&E executive with a history of altering records.
Threats of Bodily Harm As a result of filing the informal complaint in March of 1997, the telecom responded by accusing me of threatening its employees with bodily harm, and imposing Rule 11 upon me. April 3, 1997. An Attorney who looked at the letter told me it was a standard form letter written with the intent to intimidate me. According to a conversation with CPUC employee, Marco Valenti, a lot of consumers were receiving similar letters from the Pacific Bell legal department, after filing informal complaints with the CPUC. In 1997, Mr. Valenti did nothing to investigate this behavior. I received a letter from Mr. Valenti in August, 2009. He is still behaving about the same as he was back in 1997. Email from CPUC CAB
Proof of Fraud The above circled phone number, if proven to have the last five digits of "25093", proves that Linda Standen (and others) committed frauds to conceal problems in the underground infrastructure which provided service to my premises. The phone number also provides legal proof that the telecom's claims that I threatened employees with bodily harm, was a fraud.
CPUC Formal Complaint -- Threats to kill, and non-existent supporting documents In July 2001, I filed a Formal Complaint through the CPUC, complaining about recurring phone service problems. August 1 , 2001 In response to the Formal Complaint, the Telecom claimed the underground infrastructure was in good condition. The Telecom also claimed I repeatedly threatened to kill it's employees. August 31, 2001. There are no police reports or other documents to support such claims, as required by company policy.
Internal phone company documents, proof of fraud A few days after the Telecom claimed there was nothing wrong with the underground infrastructure, four telecom repair trucks showed up. Four trucks and photographs of the first two acts of perjury I photographed some of the internal documents the repair technicians were using. At the time, I didn't know the significance of the documents, but years later, I found out they proved that 3 out of 4 of my phone lines had been defective for years. http://www.mikeandmabell.com/359_hi-res.html At the first Pre-hearing conference, I showed the internal documents to the telecom attorney who claimed I threatened to kill its employees. The telecom attorney broke out in a cold sweat -- at that moment, I knew the documents were very important. Afterwards, the telecom never again stated I threatened to kill its employees, or that I threatened bodily harm upon its employees.
Altered documents and false definitions -- Obstruction of Justice I could not find out the meaning of the documents because Attorneys altered documents and definitions to conceal the true meanings of the the trouble code 98. In addition AT&T claimed they could not find a document I photographed, which was later defined as a "log of defective cable pairs"
Definition of Document in Briefs In Briefs, the telecom attorney described one of the documents I photographed as a Log of Defective Cable Pairs. This "log of defective cable pairs" proved that my residential phone number, 462-5093, was defective since the first day it was connected to my premises -- indicating that the underground infrastructure was defective, and that costly repairs were required. To avoid paying fines to the State of California, the Telecom told the CPUC the phone number was not mine, and it had the last five digits of "85093 (See photo at top of page). "85093" A fictional phone number and a blatent act of perjury. Other documents I photographed confirmed that my two business phone lines were defective (with a trouble code 98) on the day that the telecom Answered the Complaint. Other documents confirmed that the phone lines had been defective for years, with the same trouble code. To avoid paying fines to the State of California, the Telecom told the CPUC the trouble code "98" was not an indication of trouble on the phone lines. Trouble Code 98
Defective phone lines, altered and missing records. The Formal Complaint was done in writing. The Judge stated that I would not be allowed to cross-examine the utility. When I asked her why, she told me it was not her decision -- indicating that the Judge was being ordered to behave corruptly by high level CPUC officials. Using information from the documents I obtained through photography, I was able to prove that the phone company was knowingly using defective phone lines and that records were altered and/or missing. The Telecom did not dispute that defective phone lines were being used in my neighborhood. The telecom acknowledged that records were altered and/or missing.
CPUC rules that Altered and missing records is acceptable The telecom told the CPUC to ignore the altered and missing records. The Commission (including CPUC President Michael Peevey) ruled that it was OK for the records to be missing and altered. Altered Repair Records The Commission made no comment about the documents I photographed, or the fact that the phone company was knowingly using defective phone lines in my neighborhood. Most of the Commissioners, including CPUC President, Michael Peevey, have the perfect alibi. The Corrupt Judge and the Denial for Rehearing Commissioner Geoffrey Brown and the Sham Charity. Commissioner Geoffrey Brown, who was assigned to my Formal Complaint, does not appear to have a good alibi. Commissioner Brown is a cousin to the current Govenor of California, Jerry Brown. According to the "Leslie Brody Report," Geoffrey Brown is now being investigated for criminal acts linked to a sham charity organization which accepted money from the Utilities he had regulated, and this includes AT&T. CPUC Commissioner involved in sham charity Besides being linked to the sham charity, CaliforniALL, Geoffrey Brown was involved in a Fundraising Dinner for the CPUC, which took most of its donations from the Utilities it regulates. This is a clear example of Conflict of Interest. cpuc-fundraiser
The Corrupt Judge and the Defective DAML To avoid the issue of the use of defective phone lines, and the altered and missing repair records, the Judge created the defective DAML, blaming all service problems on a piece of telecom equipment that had been removed from my premises in November 1996. The DAML was never found to be defective, and this shows evidence of exparte communication, and conspiracy to commit fraud.
The Corrupt Judge and the "admittedly defective DAML" More threats of Bodily Harm. More evidence of corruption. On October 22, 2010, after the PG&E explosion, I contacted CPUC Safety Director, Richard Clark, and Executive Director, Paul Clanon, requesting a meeting to discuss problems at the CPUC that they may not be aware of. On November 2, 2010, the State Police showed up at my front door. The Officers told me that the Judge was worried I was going to harm her. I have had no contact with the Judge in over three years, except for two emails three years earlier, letting her know that her refusal to follow the Rule of Law led to more phone problems. The only contact I have had with the CPUC since the PG&E pipeline explosion was with Richard Clark's Office and Paul Clanon's office. The officers told me they read the emails I sent to Clark and Clanon, and that there was nothing illegal or threatening. This provides evidence that Clark and Clanon are trying to intimidate people who have evidence of fraud committed by the CPUC. The California Highway Patrol, the Corrupt Judge, and the Police Report I had a couple of meetings with Richard Clark back in March of 2001. Richard Clark is hostile towards consumers and very unprofessional. The letter from our meeting proves that Richard Clark decided to look the other way when answers to my questions proved the telecom was violating laws. April 27, 2001 A report by the State Senate Office Oversight Committee, Gaps Emerge in Telephone Consumer Protections, provides evidence that the CPUC's CAB Division, which is headed by Richard Clark, has a history of refusing to respond to thousands of informal complaints filed by consumers. I spoke to the reporter, and she informed me that Richard Clark had a background in law enforcement, and he liked to act like a tough guy. Some of the words used in the police report, such as "threats of bodily harm," probably came from Richard Clark. This is evidence that Richard Clark had coached Judge Grau into filing a false police report.
More evidence of altered records. On December 14, 2010, the NTSB reported that the pipeline was not seamless, as PG&E records claimed. This information is repeated, to show the timeline of events. On December 18, 2010, I emailed the NTSB, alerting them that I had proof that a former PG&E executive had a history of altering records in the underground infrastructure when she worked at the telecom.
FBI calls me -- this time it's a pleasant conversation. On December 21, 2010, the FBI called me, asking about corruption at the CPUC. The FBI agent was vague about who asked him to call me, but based on the words used by the FBI, I suspect it was the State Police. I first contacted the FBI on July 5, 2007, after I learned the meaning of the Trouble Code "98." For years, I had been trying to get the FBI to open an investigation into the corruption at the CPUC. The FBI, which has limited resources, told me they would not open an investigation. Mike and the FBI The letter below confirms that the Assistant Director to the FBI was aware of my complaints about corruption at the CPUC back in March of 2008.

My Fears of an incomplete investigation There is overwhelming evidence the CPUC conspired with the utilities to conceal violations to laws, and problems in the underground infrastructure. Based on my experiences, the telecoms cause more financial damage to our country by violating laws than the PG&E pipeline explosion. The reporter, who wrote Gaps Emerge in Telephone Consumer Protections, also believes that the phone problems are more costly to the State than the damage caused by PG&E's defective pipelines. Most of these Telecom losses could be prevented with a Telecommunications Consumer's Bill of Rights. So far, nobody in Government has been willing to meet with me, in person, so that I can provide evidence of fraud and corruption that is not shown on my website. I fear that elected Officials don't want to risk losing large campaign donations from AT&T. In a Public CPUC hearing on January 13, 2011, Assemblyman Jerry Hill told the CPUC that he doesn't trust the Commission due to its "Complacency." CPUC President Michael Peevey, told Assemblyman Jerry Hill, that he was "contemptible" for his criticisms of the CPUC. After the NTSB report came out, Commission President, Michail Peevey admitted the CPUC has been "Complacent."
San Mateo District Attorney An article in the news spoke about the San Mateo District Attorney doing an investigation into the PG&E pipeline explosion. I contacted the San Mateo District Attorney's Office regarding the corruption at the CPUC. I told an investigator about Linda Standen committing frauds to conceal problems in the underground infrastructure, and that she later went to work at PG&E. The investigator asked if she altered records regarding the pipeline. I told the investigator that I don't know, but I do know there is a culture of altering records at the utilities, and that the CPUC allows it. I asked the investigator to investigate all aspects of record altering. I mentioned evidence of corruption that is not on my website. This did not seem to surprise the investigator -- he appeared to have knowledge of the problems I spoke to him about. He told me a lot of people were coming out of the woodwork.
Webpage prior to the San Bruno PG&E fire. Before the San Bruno fire, this webpage focused on the corruption at the CPUC that would allow an AT&T attorney to create a fictional phone number. Dear Mr. President, To avoid paying fines to the State of California, that could have exceeded $100 million, AT&T told the State of California that the above circled phone number has the last five digits of "85093." See: "85093" A fictional phone number and a blatent act of perjury. The State of California, which has huge budget problems, has decided that it is better to lay off school teachers, police officers, firefighters and other other vital Government employees, instead of taking the necessary steps to send the AT&T Attorney to prison, and fining AT&T for violating Public Utility Laws and committing perjury to conceal the violations. The Judge at the California Public Utilities Commission is absolutely corrupt. She refused to follow the Rule of Law, and she made up fraudulant statements of fact in her Decision to avoid the issue of the above circled phone number. There is even evidence that she intercepted my Application for Rehearing, and wrote the Denial for Rehearing. There are nine red flags that the Judge is corrupt, and 14 red flags that she hid evidence from the Commissioners: The Corrupt Judge and the Denial for Rehearing . (Please note, a police report dated 11/02/2010 provides four additional red flags the Judge is corrupt. The Corrupt Judge, and the Police Report) From what I have been told by the FBI, an FBI agent tried to open an investigation into corruption, but somebody shut it down. (FBI calls back on 12/21/2010, see update on the bottom of The San Bruno PG&E fire) If you were to declare the phone number has the last five digits of "25093," you could save consumers and corporations billions of dollars each year caused by lost productivity, while creating thousands of jobs in the private sector, by establishing a Telecommunications Consumer's Bill of Rights So far, nobody in Government is willing to do anything about AT&T committing perjury, and that includes your administration, the FBI, the California Public Utilities Commission, Congressman McNerney, Senator Boxer, and the Governor of California (at the time this was written, Schwarzennegger was Governor) An FBI agent actually told me that Attorneys commit perjury, and I should just, "let it go." Every AT&T Attorney knows they can get away with criminal acts of fraud, and the message from the FBI is that they will do nothing about it.
On June 9, 2009, I wrote to the White House, regarding issues linked to the above phone number that is costing our country to lose billions of dollars a year in lost productivity caused by unfair laws, corporate fraud, and corruption. I received a form letter from the White House, dated July 15, 2009, indicating you would like to help, but that you were focused on Health Care Reform. White House letters
An AT&T document I photographed, dated March 16, 2009, provides the evidence necessary for law enforcement to prove, beyond a doubt, that AT&T created a fictional phone number. Unfortuneatly, the FBI refuses to do anything about it, and has repeatedly told me to, "Let it go." Mike and the FBI
a defective phone line and a fictional phone number The phone number noted above, received service through a phone line that was known to be defective. Nobody has disputed that fact. See:Log of Defective Cable Pairs. The dispute about the above phone number, is about whether or not it is my phone number (925-462-5093). In a court of law, a phone company attorney stated it is not my phone number, and that it has the last five digits of "85093." See: "85093" A fictional phone number and a blatent act of perjury. By looking at the photograph, and comparing a "2" which is flat on the bottom, to an "8", which is round at the bottom, a ten-year-old child can determine that AT&T committed perjury, but not our government -- not even the FBI, which had been asked by Congresswomen Ellen Tauscher, to make that determination.
If the Federal Government were to determine that the phone number in the above photograph is "25093," and not "85093," as AT&T told the State of California, it could:
Saving the jobs of 2000 California State employees could be done by fining AT&T over $200 million for repeatedly violating public utilities laws that are linked to the above phone number.
"And End Users" --three words that can save $billions Saving this country billions of dollars in lost productivity, creating jobs, and making work easier and less stressful can be accomplished by adding the words "and end users" after the word "carriers" to the following Federal Law: This would give consumers (end users) the rights to test their phone lines, and see the test results, without interference from the phone companies. A website, created by a reseller, explains the process:mlt test
The FCC letter to Congresswoman Tauscher (shown below) confirms that law 47 C.F.R. Section 51.319(a)(1)(iv) provides pro-competitive protections to resellers of phone service, but does not apply to consumers. In other words, the law that was written to prevent unfair treatment to resellers of phone service, is not intended to protect consumers from unfair treatment: (The above letter references a letter from the FCC in 2001, which the FCC cannot confirm having, because, according to the above letter, it only keeps records for one year. This is the letter: July 27, 2001 ) I suggest going even further to protect consumers, phone company employees, and the Government. Here is what I propose: Telecommunications Consumer's Bill of Rights
Helping AT&T The company that will benefit the most, if you determine the number has the last five digits of "25093" is AT&T, as it will expose frauds designed to conceal problems in AT&T's infrastructure. Furthermore, it will explain why AT&T has lost more than half of its landline marketshare where I live, and why the AT&T sales people cannot get customers back. Sadly, no one in Government is willing to say anything about the above phone number, and AT&T may be the next House of Cards that fails, not unlike Enron, WorldCom, and most recently, Bernie Madoff.
Another WorldCom? Pacific Bell executives and Attorneys have been cooking the books since 1996. The above noted phone number received service through a phone line that was known to be defective since the first day it was connected to my premises. Nobody has disputed the fact that the phone line is defective. See: Log of Defective Cable Pairs. As a result of deregulation, which allowed phone companies to be bought and sold, the phone number proves phone company executives and Attorneys at Pacific Bell concealed problems in the infrastructure to fraudulantly inflate the value of the phone company before it was purchased by SBC. In the Summer of 1997, SBC purchased Pacific Bell. A few years later, SBC purchased AT&T. SBC then changed it's name, and became the new "AT&T." One of the Pacific Bell executives, who had offered me $2000 in November 22, 1996, is now one of the Presidents of AT&T. He had knowledge that the phone lines to my premises were defective, and he can be linked to repeatedly altering repair records to my business phone from 1996 through 2008 to conceal recurring problems. Altered Repair Records In 2008, when Comcast offered business phone service in my neighborhood, I immediately switched to Comcast. Immediatly afterwards, AT&T repeatedly called, asking me to come back. I asked every AT&T sales person who called me what the number shown above looked like -- they all agreed it had the last five digits of "25093."
LOST MARKET SHARE AND CONSISTENT RECORD PROFITs? As a result of the defective infrastructure caused by AT&T executives who are cooking the books, Comcast has now taken over half of the landline marketshare where I live. AT&T, which has lost over half its landline marketshare in my neighborhood, is still posting record profits that are so consistent, it could just as well be Enron or Bernie Madoff. A map shown below, shows all of the houses that can receive service through AT&T cable 0807:
The map below shows all of the houses that have no available spare cable pairs.
The map below shows all of the houses receiving phone service through AT&T that haven't reported service problems. There is only one house that hasn't reported service problems. (Note: house below had recurring problems. 10/17/2011, AT&T responded to complaint of no dial tone. 10/19/2011, AT&T responded due to static) The above map is evidence that AT&T committed perjury during the Formal Complaint, when it claimed there are very few service problems on the cable providing service to my neighborhood. The scary part is that, according to phone company repair technicians, the service problems on this street are not an isolated incident.
Harry Markopolos, the whistleblower who reported Bernie Madoff to the SEC in May, 2000, immediatly knew that Bernie Madoff was a fraud because the returns he reported were too consistent. After he investigated Bernie Madoff, he provided evidence of thirty red-flags to the SEC, that Bernie Madoff was a Ponzi scheme. As history shows, the SEC failed to do its job, allowing Bernie Madoff to steal billions of dollars all the way until December 2008, when he turned himself in, because his Ponzi scheme collapsed, due to the bad economy. History has a way of repeating itself. I have contacted the CPUC, the SEC and the FBI about AT&T. After reading the book by Harry Markoplos, "No One Would Listen," I can show a similar pattern of Government Agencies who cannot do what is right. Harry_Markopolos
The WorldCom link to AT&T cooking the books WorldCom was a house of cards that caused employees and investors to lose their life savings. It was a horrible fiasco that cost consumers and investers billions of dollars. To conceal financial problems, WorldCom was buying other phone companies, which made it more difficult to understand the true financial condition of the parent company. When AT&T was a long-distance company, it competed with WorldCom for customers, and stock prices. While many WorldCom employees and investors lost their life's savings, honest AT&T employees were also hurt. For example, prior to WorldCom's demise, honest AT&T employees, who could not match the high profits fraudulently reported by WorldCom were wrongfully terminated, while the AT&T employees who could match the high profits of WorldCom, kept their jobs. This needs to be repeated. The honest AT&T employees, who could not match the high profits fraudulently reported by Worldcom, were terminated. The not-so-honest employees, kept their jobs. AT&T is now trying to purchase T-Mobile. I can't help but wonder if there are some parallels to WordCom.
Red Flags that AT&T is a house of cards Harry Markopolos, the Bernie Madoff whistle blower, delivered evidence to the SEC, showing 30 red flags, that Bernie Madoff was a fraud. The SEC ignored Mr. Markopolos. The following nine red flags, provide evidence that AT&T is a house of cards:
violations to public utility laws and the cover-up The phone number (925-462-5093) proves that the company now known as AT&T has violated public utility laws each and everyday, since 1996, by knowingly using defective phone lines, and then committing frauds by telling me that there was nothing wrong with the phone lines. Furthermore, it proves that after I complained to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) about Pacific Bell, Pacific Bell wrongfully imposed special rules upon me (which still apply to me), to conceal the use of defective phone lines. It should also be noted that my two business phone lines (925-846-3642 and 925-462-3619) also received service through phone lines that were known to be defective (See: Trouble Code 98) and this caused my business to lose a great deal of money. The legal costs of going through a Formal Complaint were a huge burden for my small business. The phone number in the photograph, however, provides proof as to why AT&T used defective phone lines to my business -- AT&T had run out of non-defective phone lines at my premises. The losses to my business are in the millions, and the losses to the State and Federal Government, as a result of lost taxable revenue, is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The fines for the violations to public utility laws, and for committing perjury, could have exceeded $100 million, all of which, would have gone to the California State General Fund. Unfortuneatly, unless the Federal Government gets involved, the State of California will not recover a penny.
EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION The letters "RSA" can also be used to determine that the above noted phone number provided service to me, as I was the only person on the above document with "RSA" phone service. See: "RSA" Cable pair identification Unfortuneatly, the politically appointed Judge at the CPUC could not determine that the AT&T attorney committed perjury, nor could she follow the Rule of Law. See The Corrupt Judge and legal error Also, the five politically appointed Commissioners at the CPUC could not determine that AT&T committed perjury, but they have a great alibi. See: The Corrupt Judge and the Denial for Rehearing
tHE fBI and new evidence According to the FBI Website, when a corporation lies to a regulatory agency, or a Judge is corrupt, it is within FBI Jurisdiction. The FBI has told me that they could not determine that AT&T committed perjury. In 2007, an FBI agent threatened to have me arrested (for harassment) when I was at the San Francisco FBI office, asking the FBI agent what the number looked like. This needs to be repeated. An AT&T document I photographed, dated March 16, 2009, provides the evidence necessary for law enforcement to prove, beyond a doubt, that AT&T created a fictional phone number. The FBI refuses to do anything about it.
In 2008, after persistant phone calls, letters and faxes to Congresswoman Tauscher, Congresswoman Tauscher sent a letter to the FBI San Francisco office, asking if the phone number in the above photograph is "25093" as I claim, or "85093" as AT&T told the California Public Utilities Commission. The FBI has refused to respond to this simple request. But, since receiving the letter, no FBI agents have threatened to have me arrested for asking questions about whether or not the phone number is mine.
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL It should be noted that the State Attorney General responded to the above letter, stating that, legally, he could not help. Senator Don Perata and the CPUC ignored the letter. My interpretation of the State Attorney General letter, is that this is an issue for the Federal Government.
congressman and senator campaign donations Congressman McNerney and Senator Boxer, who receive their largest campaign donations from AT&T, have repeatedly sidestepped the issue of whether or not the phone number is mine, and will not do anything to help. They have been "bought," and about the only thing I can do, is hope they get voted out of office. A letter I received from Congressman McNerney's office, sidesteps the issue of whether or not the phone number is mine, and claims to have reported me to the Capital Police. According to the Capital Police, there are no reports.
saving jobs This needs to be repeated: If the Federal Government were to determine that the phone number in the above photograph is "25093," it could save the jobs of over 2000 California State employees, and it could create thousands of jobs in the private sector in every State. CREATIng jobs Establishing a Federal telecommunications consumer's bill of rights can create more jobs in the private sector, as it will force the phone companies to repair defective phone lines that phone company executives have deemed "good enough" for people like me.
same old same old With the exception of Congresswoman Tauscher, no government officials or agencies have been willing to get involved in this issue. Please look at a list of twenty people and agencies who have ignored or sidestepped the issue. One reason that nobody has been willing to do this has to do with human-nature. I hope your administration will do the right thing, and declare the phone number has the last five digits of "25093," fine AT&T for violating laws, and establish a Federal telecommunications consumer's bill of rights that will save money, create jobs, and provide better phone service.
even if I am wrong Even if I am wrong about AT&T being a House of Cards, Public Utility Laws are very clear: If a phone company knows a phone line is defective, the law requires the phone company to fix it -- no exceptions. The Rule of Law states that if the phone company violates the law, they have to pay from $500 to $20,000 per day in fines to the California State General Fund. The minimum fines would have been several million dollars. The maximum fines could now exceed $200 million. By claiming the phone number wasn't mine, and committing about 20 other criminal acts to conceal other problems, AT&T defrauded the State of California out of millions of dollars, as well as me, and my family, by concealing it was liable for business losses. Criminal acts are supposed to be handled by law enforcement, not Civil suits.
protecting at&T This needs to be repeated: The company that has the most to gain if you officially declare the number is mine, is AT&T. AT&T is an American icon, and sadly, like Enron and WorldCom, high-level executives are violating laws while the regulatory agencies turn a blind eye. A recent article by a former phone company employee, and an expert in phone repair states that phone companies are wasting millions of dollars by not repairing phone lines (OSP Magazine May 2009, "What Does It Take to Get a Cable Replaced?") The costs to businesses that can't function when the phones don't work is even greater, and as a result, the businesses pay less taxes, and this causes the State and Federal governments to lose even more money. Who benefits from not repairing the infrastructure? Only a few high-level executives can benefit from cooking the books -- everybody else at the company loses. See this page on Altered Repair Records which links an AT&T President, Rick Resnick, with repeatedly altering repair records to conceal recurring problems on the phone lines to my business, and using fraud, threats, and intimidation tactics to conceal that he was altering the records when he was a regional manager and the Vice President of Repair and Maintenance in Northern California (See: Rule 11, a Scary Number).
criminal acts There are over twenty criminal acts linked to the above noted phone number. For example, phone company Attorney, Michelle Galbraith A corrupt Judge at the CPUC refused to follow the Rule of Law (The Corrupt Judge and legal error), and made up fraudulant statements in her Decision to avoid the issue of the phone number in the above photograph, altered repair records, and the trouble code 98 (The Corrupt Judge and the "admittedly defective DAML")). It appears that nobody in the State of California has jurisdiction with CPUC judges -- the California Commission of Judicial Performance told me the Judges at the California Public Utilities Commission are not within their jurisdiction. Furthermore, a letter from the California Attorney General explains that the Office of the Attorney General cannot investigate the behavior of the Judge. (See: State Attorney General).
more defective cable pairs and more missing repair records A phone company document I recently photographed, dated March 16, 2009, shows that in my neighborhood, over half of the AT&T phone lines are now known to be defective, and at least a few of them can be linked to my address. Other documents I have obtained prove that when cable pairs are found to be defective, they are not being logged as defective, as required by Federal law. The document dated March 16, 2009 also provides evidence that the Direct Testimony of Bob Alex on Behalf of Pacific Bell Telephone Company, which claimed there were 35 good cable pairs pairs, was, statistically, a complete fraud. It is possible the Attorneys who fabricated the fictional phone number, also fabricated the Testimony, as I recently learned that Bob Alex is a black man, and no black men were present in Court when written Testimony was handed in. Also, there were no signatures on the Testimony. I have asked law enforcement (FBI) to contact Bob Alex, to determine if he will admit or deny that the Testimony was his, but nobody in law enforcement is willing to take on this issue. It should be noted that I did contact Bob Alex by postal mail, and he has not responded to my request as to whether or not the Testimony was his.
My family business lost millions of dollars caused by recurring phone problems and the costs of the Formal Complaint. Most importantly, virtually every recurring service problem could have been prevented had there been a telecommunications consumer's bill of rights that would have allowed me to see the test results of my phone lines, and know the meanings of the trouble codes. With this webpage, I am begging you to look at internal phone company documents I obtained that prove phone company executives sabotaged my business by refusing to repair the defective phone lines providing service to my business since 1996, after they offered me $500 on October 17, 1996. In a letter date November 22,1996, AT&T offered me $2000, and denied there were recurring service problems. These documents prove that there was nothing I could do, legally, to protect myself or my business while it was being sabotaged. As a result of deregulation and corporate fraud, the phone company executives spent more company resources to cover up the the use of defective phone lines, than they spent to repair or maintain the phone lines.
Many people in government have verbally agreed the phone number has the last five digits of "25093" and not "85093" as AT&T claims, but will not do so "officially." This list includes:
A document I photographed shows that in 2001, Pacific Bell (Now the New AT&T) already lost over half of its marketshare in my neighborhood to the company now known as Comcast. (See: MLT Test Results of Cable Pairs on my Street). When Comcast recently offered business service in my neighborhood in 2008, AT&T lost even more business. Between March 23, 2009 and April 21, 2009, 40% of the houses on my street that received phone service from AT&T lost service for four or more days. April 20, 21 2009, AT&T cable repair. On January 14, 2010, an AT&T technician was attempting to restore service to cable pair 1137, using the service box in front of my house. The following day (January 15, 2010), a cable splicing technician was attempting to restore service -- apparently, there were no available spare pairs at the service box in front of my house. Because of a lack of equipment, the cable splicing technician was unable to restore the service until January 16, 2010. And don't forget, AT&T has already lost over half of its marketshare to Comcast, and therefore, based on their Testimony, should have plenty of spare pairs. Currently, AT&T is trying to make me pay for an early termination fee because I switched my business phone service to Comcast because of the recurring service problems. AT&T has refused to credit my account for the ongoing service problems. AT&T letter January 27, 2009. In response to an informal complaint I filed on February 2, 2009, requesting that AT&T credit my account for recurring service problems, the California Public Utilities Commission refused to ask AT&T questions, and instead, Answered questions on behalf of AT&T (See 4/22/09). I received another letter from the CPUC dated August 3, 2009, which was probably prompted by the Reward I posted in July 2009, as I had no contact with the CPUC since April, 2009. The letter states that AT&T is denying that there were any reported service problems on my lines from 2004 through 2008 -- a pattern of behavior that began in 1996, when AT&T offered me $2000. I was able to photograph AT&T documents from 2006-2009 which absolutely prove there were recurring service problems on my business phone lines (Request to Consider New Evidence). When AT&T told the Commission that it has no records of service problems from 2004-2008, I believe that AT&T was telling the truth. Somebody, or some group of employees at AT&T are purposefully and methodically concealing problems found on the phone lines, which is causing confusion, frustration, and lost productivity among the honest AT&T employees. I don't believe the concealment of problems is an isolated incident. The article (OSP Magazine May 2009, "What Does It Take to Get a Cable Replaced?") corroborates my beliefs. What is an isolated incident is that I was able to photograph phone company documents proving the phone company was (and is) using defective phone lines, and that repair records are methodically being altered to conceal recurring problems. I hope you will ask the FBI to open an investigation into the altered repair records, to prevent further problems that AT&T (and AT&T customers) may experience. Most importantly, I hope you will acknowledge the phone number is mine, and help establish a Telecommunications Consumer's Bill of Rights that can save this country billions of dollars each year, while making jobs easier for phone company employees, government employees, and ordinary citizens.
Thank You Mike Knell |
