They tried to SLAM me!  HA!

I am a Network Technician for US WEST Communications in Elkhorn, NE
(just outside of Omaha).  Part of my job involves low-level Central
Office work in my HOME exchange (Elkhorn), including wiring on the MDF
and "babysitting" the paper-spewing Service Order printer.

Not too long ago, as I sorted the orders, I came across one bearing my
service.  It was a PIC change order, removing me from AT&T to MCI!

I never received a call from MCI prior to the order.  Since I have
tried in the past to trace the origin of such bogus orders, I did not
bother in this case.

I just cancelled the order!  What a bunch of bums!
