Speaking of "regulations/scams/Y2K events" etc., this is confirmable, so read and draw your own conclusions. This message is from Dave Roberts <dave812@hotmail.com> 11/8/98 I (a person named Sonya Wilkinson [sgw@was.com]) was in Dallas this weekend - It (the Sam's Club FBI raid) was the Mansfield (near Ft Worth) Sam's Club and "it" did happen. On 11/6/98 Sonya G. Wilkinson wrote (Dr.) Gary (North), I (Sonya) wrote that a friend of mine in Dallas told me that this really happened! A friend of his works there and saw them come into the office and knows they searched the records for "hoarders". I will be there (in Dallas) this weekend so if the issue is not settled by then - I will get more info for everyone - how's that? Sonya ___________________________________________________________________ [The Email that started this all [below] came from Dave Roberts, who's email address is listed above. He participates in an active Y2K email list to which, I (O/49r) am not privy to. However, Sonya sometimes pops up on a list I am connected to and that is how I learned of this whole dealie.] 11/6/98 Dave Roberts posts to his Y2K list the following: OK FOLKS...HERE ARE THE FACTS: The correct location is the Sam's in MANSFIELD, TEXAS...a little town south of Ft. Worth. It seems that the FBI came in unannounced and said they were "looking for people that were hoarding food." They (the FBI) 1) DOWNLOADED FILES, 2) took hardcopies, 3) checked "links" (whatever that means) 4) and STAYED A FEW HOURS. This info came from a person close to the source. That is all I can say, in keeping with the wishes of the source. The FBI might have made a permanent link to the computer file system so that they can monitor the store files from then on out. Who knows? Wouldn't doubt it, but I can't confirm anything like that. The Sam's Clubphone number in Mansfield, Texas...817-293-9225... Ask for the manager, Steve: He'll will tell you what he told me, "I'm sorry, but I can neither CONFIRM...nor DENY* that statement." **************** my further 2¢ worth: BTW, Deutsche Morgan Grenfel's Chief Economist, Ed Yardeni's Y2K speech Friday, weekend must have awakened someone! I was in my bank Saturday AM, and it was 25 deep all the time I was there. I waited in line 1/2 hour before I was waited on. And this is from the Seafirst bunch who brags about service in 5 minutes or else. (P.S. I didn't ever learn what the or less part was about.) This is the first time in 7 years this has ever happened to me at this institution. And when I got to the teller's window, there were 24 more folks behind me, waiting their turn!!! And it wasn't even a 1st or 15th "payday weekend!" hmmm O/49r
