Phone Tapping

How do you to tell if your phone is currently tapped or has been bugged in the past?

Call 101-073-2177-0988-9664

They will first repeat the phone number you are calling from and then repeat a bunch of zeros.    The number at the end of the zero's is what is important.  

If it is a 1 - you have never been tapped and are not presently tapped.

If it is a 2 it means you have been tapped in the past but no longer are tapped.

If it is a 3 it means you ARE being tapped presently and you need to be careful what you say over the phone.

How do you know when your phone is tapped or room is bugged?

It's impossible to determine if an eavesdropping device is in place without electronic testing unless you accidentally stumble upon it.. People often notice clicking on the phone line, sounds in the wall or people knowing information that should not be known. Most of these symptoms don´t have much relevance as to the existance of bugs or taps. The only sure way to locate a device is through the experienced use of professional test equipment. Noise on a phone line is usually due to bad connections in wiring and not a tap. A tap is silent if installed correctly. Sounds in the wall may be caused by a variety of reasons. A bug or radio transmitting device is also silent. Myers has the electronic tools, training and experience to detect bugs and taps as well as other types of eavesdropping operations.

What if the last number they give you is a "zero?"
