Probably try to act as if you have some sort of skill "they" might be interested in slaving you for.
Like for instance, if you are somewhat good at intimidating people, they might recruit you to become some sort of officer or programmer or handler.
Or you could dial up George Bush and ask if you can be his sex slave...

Well, one good way to start is to stop logging on the Internet, and for sure stop posting to any public message boards. I mean, that's a no-brainer.

And why exactly is that?

You're kidding right? You don't understand that the second you log onto the Internet your every move is being tracked and analyzed by somebody, and you can never be quite sure who that somebody is? And posting only makes it 1,000 times worse, because you're making a positive, active interaction. This isn't like watching TV, where nobody knows for sure what you're doing with it. It's all logged and filed and accessible to anyone with the resources and will to find it. Internet anonymity? Ha! That's a good one!
So if you really want to be "off the grid," you need to stay as far away from the Internet as you can, pay for everything in cash, and keep modifying your appearance so that the dozen tracking cameras that see you every day can't identify you. Then dump your cell phone, unless you like the idea that everything you say is broadcast for anyone to pick up.
After that, you can start working on diffusing your identity regarding utility bills, credit card payments, and so on. Think Jason Bourne. The trick is not to steal someone else's identity, which is going to raise a flag, but to create a variety of functional identities of your own that you can shift through or discard as necessary.
