America: Starting with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 11 - : Identity Revealed

Left the scrap collection station.

Allen Zhang started walking to familiarize himself with the nearby road conditions.

He found a convenience store and spent 12 US Dollars for a prepaid SIM card with unlimited data from a small, unheard-of network provider.

Here in America, SIM cards are anonymous; most providers don't require identity verification, only a few do.

Driver's License ID, SSN are your identity.

There are pros and cons to this verification system.

Before the identity verification system, although fraudsters could call you, they didn't know your identity. After the system was implemented, they could not only call you but also know your full name, contact list, bank account numbers, and home address.

They can even make international calls over the internet to threaten and scam you with your personal information, getting at least ten nuisance calls a day while sitting at home!

Just tell me if that's good or not.

The so-called promise by service providers to not disclose any customer information is simply the biggest joke of the 21st century.

Do you believe their tales, or believe I am Qin Shi Huang?

The telecom industry in the US is also very competitive; various data plans are offered for free, but those with cheaper monthly fees have poor signal and inadequate network coverage, you might not even be able to make calls in the city center. Those with good signals are expensive and often rip you off.

Anyway, Allen Zhang finally managed to get his phone online.

He downloaded Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, and immediately followed and messaged Simone.

She quickly accepted the friend request and replied: Mike Tyson? hahahaha.

Putting your head on someone else's body, or someone else's head on yours, Black women find this puzzling but amusing.

Allen Zhang didn't reply; instead, he used a search engine to find the OnlyFake website Dominic mentioned, explored the tutorials a bit, and then downloaded and paid 15 US Dollars for a data packet generator tool usage rights.

Of course, his online account was out of money, so he chose proxy payment.

Simone: Way? What is this? Why do you need me to pay 15 US Dollars on this website?

Allen Zhang: I haven't set up online banking and can't afford this payment. I need to get a fake done before I can handle other matters.

Let's not talk much, I just sold some cans and made 40 US Dollars, I can give you cash when I return, Simone, please help me with the payment, Please!

:)

Sent a smiley face to show friendliness.

Simone: F**k!! I thought you were different from other guys! Turns out it's still for my money, I really misjudged.

She grudgingly paid the 15 US Dollars.

Simone: I'm going to work now! Don't bother me again! Remember to give me back the 15 US Dollars tonight.

Allen Zhang: Thank you, Simone, have a smooth day at work, be happy every day, see you tonight.

Simone: International friendly gesture, finger.

Willing to lend money to someone she just met on the first day, this woman is indeed generous.

He didn't misjudge her.

Allen Zhang entered the information he wanted to appear on the card on the OnlyFake website interface and uploaded a blue-background headshot stored on his phone.

The system then automatically generated a series of images, turning the inputted name into a signature. Sometimes the generated signatures were messy full names, other times just initials.

Clicking "Generate Photo" started the process, and the page displayed system progress updates like "Generating PDF417 and Code128," "Sending to server," "Replacing text," and then it finished and provided a preview of the finished product.

If it wasn't satisfactory, one could change it again, and if it was ok, click "Download and Pay."

Allen Zhang had successfully paid by proxy, so he obtained two files, the front and back of the new fake Driver's License against a classroom wall background.

The entire process took about one to two minutes.

A photo of myself, paired with all the required content for a California Driver's License, is enough to create a convincing fake.

I tried verifying my identity on a social media app, and indeed, it showed that my identity was verified.

"Identity verification successful."

"Congratulations! You have completed identity verification."

With a complete identity template, now all I need is to print it out in person.

But Allen Zhang doesn't know where to print, as it's his first time dealing with this and he has no equipment or materials, so he needs to ask Dominic how his fake was printed and who made it.

...

He returned to the main base at Bridge Tunnel 19.

Allen Zhang felt that Lori Louis 19's name should be changed to the Little Duck Club.

There were little ducks all along the way.

Allen Zhang queued up at the roadside and collected two servings of pasta with fruit sauce relief meals, along with a few packets of chips and boxes of juice. He originally planned to keep his promise and hand them over to Dominic, but when he returned to their bridge tunnel home, he found that the other party had already gotten up and was not there anymore.

He must have gone out to collect cans.

Since he brought the relief meals back, Allen Zhang could only enjoy them by himself; it wasn't like he wanted to eat them all alone.

Holding the chips, sitting on the old sofa, he pulled out the remaining 27.59 US dollars and counted it again, of which 15 dollars was still owed to Simone.

So, his remaining usable money was essentially just 12.59 US dollars.

On the way back, Allen Zhang also passed a discount store supermarket that sold camping gear and went in to inquire about it.

He found that even a used small two-person tent costs at least 35 dollars and the quality is also very poor, with summer models having only a thin layer of fabric that doesn't keep warm.

The shelters and nonprofit organizations mostly give out these types of off-brand tents for free.

If he wanted to buy a tent for multiple people, it would cost at least 50-300 dollars. The brand bestsellers can go up to several thousand dollars.

A moisture-proof pad is also essential, besides that, he would need to buy pillows, bedding, a solar charger, insect repellent light, and various kinds of outdoor gear.

All together, it wouldn't be possible without 500 US dollars.

That's too expensive!!

A can is worth five cents, one hundred dollars for 2000 cans, Allen Zhang would need to collect at least ten thousand cans without eating or drinking to afford a tent and a full set of basic equipment for a homeless person!

A tent and a small cart is basically all that a street homeless person owns.

It turns out that Zero-Dollar Purchase is a bit faster.

People like Black have been surviving in such harsh conditions since childhood, they must have tried everything and already figured out the path ahead, if there was any way, they wouldn't end up in that state.

After calculating a little, Allen Zhang holding his boxed meal suddenly felt he had no appetite.

At my age, coming to the West Coast to strive, having no tent, how can I even sleep?

Forget it.

Given the circumstances, let's have a meal first.

Can't rush, have to take it slow, because rushing is useless.

Slowly progress, exchanging time for space, since I won't starve to death for now, and nobody's pointing a gun at my back, life is getting better every day.

Soon, the day passed.

As the sun set in the west, Dominic returned to the place carrying a black trash bag filled with cans.

Allen Zhang lay on the sofa holding his mobile phone, with his legs crossed, the empty chip bags and juice bottles thrown around, mainly focusing on enjoying life.

Monitoring the latest news through various online apps, making more contact with information and things, trying to influence and affect the randomness of daily reports.

Seeing him return, Allen Zhang greeted the landlord enthusiastically, "Yo, Dominic, you're back?"

"Allen, I've heard from some scavengers on the streets that an Asian homeless guy who's good at fighting showed up nearby, beat up Ethan and his buddies, took their cans, and even chased them away!"

Domonic put down the bag and asked eagerly for confirmation, "He even publicly declared that the trash cans on Hopson Street belongs to our Lori Louis 19, that wasn't you, was it?"

News travels fast?

Allen Zhang was a bit surprised, nodded, and openly admitted, "Yes, that was me."

"Well done, buddy!!"

Dominic smiled upon hearing the news and gave him a thumbs up, "I've always wanted to do that!"

Then he added regretfully, "But it's a shame I couldn't beat Ethan and his guys. You really did me a favor!"

"No worries, buddy, those guys were also looking for trouble with me, but clearly they bit off more than they could chew and got a lesson from me."

Allen Zhang waved his hand as if it was nothing.
