    I am a fairly senior person in a public company, approaching
    retirement. I have accidentally become aware of a successful
    conspiracy to defraud employees and clients, perpetrated by
    three individuals in the company and two outside the company.
    Many millions of dollars are involved. My pastor has told me
    that it is my obligation to do something proactive about it,
    since there are many victims.

    When this cancer is cut out, it will be traumatic but the
    company will definitely survive and will probably become more
    profitable in the long term - though the guilty individuals will
    either be fined or jailed.

    Therefore, I wish to make safe/untraceable phone calls to my
    company's CPA, to the IRS, to the SEC, to members of a
    shareholder committee, and to the state attorney general. The
    content of the phone call would be a description of what's been
    going on, the location and identification of certain records,
    why they are important, and who is responsible. To keep the
    calls short, each time I would read from a prepared script. The
    result will be a major change in management, and as long as I'm
    anonymous and at arm's length it will not include me. I will not
    gain any reward or even promotion, as this problem is not in my
    division of the company and in any case I'm on my way out. I
    have no personal relationship with any of the people involved -
    this is not a vendetta.

    There is a criminal connection, with the possibility of deadly
    prevention if I am discovered beforehand, and retribution
    afterward. The people on whom I'm blowing the whistle have huge
    resources. I have a great family to consider, so will do this
    only if I can be reasonably certain that my personal life can be
    insulated from the whistleblowing.

    One idea is to visit an electronics superstore wearing a
    disguise (thinking of overhead cameras, time-stamped
    transactions, etc.) and use cash to purchase a TRACFONE (or
    similar), preloaded with some number of minutes. I would then
    make the calls from some location far from the office or my
    home, using one of those electronic voice-changers, and then
    destroy the phone.

    Does that make sense? Is it safe? What should I look out for?

    I'm not a tech person - what did I forget?

    Thanks.

    (and at this moment I am in a supplier's office, using a
    computer provided to visitors, connected to a free news group
    provider)

    Re: Whistleblowing using a prepaid cellphone - is it safe?

    [ regarding the security of an anonymous cellphone ]

    It depends on Just How Badly they want to
    get you.

    Taking this to extremes: "They" find out
    you've called the SEC. They get the records
    (either legally or not...) of incoing
    calls and get the phone number of
    your cellular phone.

    They then can force the cellco to provide
    records of all other calls made by that phone.

    I'd betcha that if the Bad Guys asked
    a dozen call recipients, they'd find
    a couple who'd rat you out.

    And.... once they've got your cellular
    phone nuymber they can demand the
    cellco provide them with location
    tracking. That'll let them know
    where (within a few hundred or
    thousand feet) where you made each call,
    AND ALSO quite a bit of the other
    places you were whenever the phone
    was on - even if you didn't make
    a call from there.

    How 'bout a pocket full of quarters and a payphone?

    Not only will "they" know exactly WHO you are, "they" will know exactly
    WHERE you are, at all times, once "they" get that impossible-to-stop
    caller ID. They'll track down the phone exactly like the cops do the
    drug kingpins.

    Abandon all your cellular phones, aircards, any connections whatsoever to
    your former cellular phone life. Dump 'em. Pay the ETF for early
    termination. Get rid of all cellular connections.

    Do it all from pay phones....NEVER the SAME payphone, not even in the
    same city if you can help it. Drive out into the boonies, best in one
    direction or two and make pay phone calls impossible to trace to you from
    as far away from home as you can drive.

    Every cellphone is now being tracked like rabid dogs by every government
    snoop....INCLUDING THE SNOOPS WORKING FOR THAT COMPANY'S CORRUPT
    BUREAUCRATS! I wouldn't trust ANY law enforcement bureaucrat or
    government agent, SEC or not. Government bureaucrats work for
    CORPORATIONS, not citizens....It's about MONEY.

    Let's see what his connection is in his not-so-honorable profession....

    Make all the calls from HIS phone, seeing as how he has now, mistakenly
    on your part, been informed of your intentions. Of all the people you
    know, I'd trust him the least. Too bad you had to screw up letting him
    know who you are.

    Unless it DIRECTLY affected my retirement's delivery or threatened my
    life or family, I would NOT get involved as you have NOONE you can trust
    in matter of millions of dollars, certainly not clergy, cops, government
    bureaucrats! Just retire and let "them" handle it, without ruining your
    remaining years. Damned religious zealots always trying to put you on a
    guilt trip so they can control you. It's bull****!
