I know this is going to sound too simple, you can verify the
authenticity of a phone number (at <= same cost as posting and
article) by calling the number using a standard telephone.  Also, the
United States Postal Service will help you in finding out if an
address is correct.  All you have to do is put the address on the
front of a postcard, along with $0.20, and if it comes back marked "No
such address," you have your answer.  (You can even ask that the
person reading the letter tell you what they know about JOCKER.EXE.)

:-), of course.
