Prank phone calls

An offset of the private number thread, where people dont answer cos of ranking.

Whats the funniest prank you've ever gotten, made or overheard?:)

Ruu_Old

One of the lads in college had a huge amount of email addresses that he used for circulating porn and he made it well known too. Anyway we got someone else unknown to him to pretend to be from Eircom and that they were "checking his accounts and found the porn". He really wasn't the brightest star as you can tell from below, bless him. It went something along the lines of (I have the sound file somewhere)..

Eircom: Hello [insert name]
Lad: Yeah, this is him speaking.
Eircom: We've been checking our servers and found that you have 8 email accounts that you use for circulating pornographic material..
Lad: Wha? What? I don't have 8 email addresses, I only have..eh 6 or 7. What is this about? Where are you calling from?
Eircom: We are calling from our London office and just wanted for you to be aware of this, we'll be seeing you soon [insert name]
Lad: Ok bye..:(

a friend of mine in college recorded a one-man conversation, acting like a man ringing up about a car in the Buy and Sell. He would ring up random people and play the tape. The phone would be on speaker and you can hear the person on the other line getting wound up. it's f*cking hilarious. I think some of the lads in the other thread have been caught out with it, it could be a different prank tho

Crucifix

The only prank I was ever a part of, was ringing direct to people's message service at 5 o clock in the morning, and the group drunkenly singing away. Some things seem soooo funny when you're drunk.

Probably an oldie, but I heard this the other day & thought it was funny. My friend's sister in law works in an office, & would regularly get messages left on her desk asking her to call people, so someone left a note on her desk asking her to call "Moira Maines" & left the number for a funeral parlour...I can just picture asking "Can I speak to Moira Maines please?"!

Whilst working in a supermarket me and a mate found a box of old competition entries in the storage back of the stockroom for end displays etc, we then called around ten people informing them they won said dvd player and should come up to customer services at around 1 to collect, great prank and worked a treat.

I pranked an adult shop before while very very stoned. The poor girl on the end of the phone was in tears laughing as I told her that I wanted some good hard wearing whips to break off the arse of my girlfriend. I was just describing that I was also looking for a leather Gimp suit when she hung up....

I work in a retail store, staff turnover can be pretty high. To break in all the new customer service and sales staff, one of the guys in work would go into an office with mirrored windows, ring up the phone at the desk and pretend to be an outraged Nigerian complaing about a PC or Laptop he had been sold. He did a great accent an all. He'd have people almost in tears.

Pighead

Pighead rang his sister once to tell her that Mam had died. But get this.............she wasn't dead at all! You should have seen her face when she arrived back from her holidays in Australia the next evening. Priceless.

cson

Oh that Pighead and his hilarious wit!

Not strictly prank calls but however,
****** Tickets in the buy and sell and the phone wont stop ringing
Order a load of cement/sand to someones house
Trail of oil from underneath a car

Oh that cson and his crappy ideas for prank calls! Chortle chortle, ha ha. Listen pal, the thread is called "Prank phone calls, you listed off 3 non prank phone calls in your post. Blatant off-topicness, sort it out.

On topic, Pighead will point you towards this link.

I have to sat the buy & sell is a mine of mirth waiting to happen..
Years ago, while doing shift work, we would amuse ourselves by picking articles for sale and ringing up the numbers.
A few were made to people advertising in the pets section -
I rang the number for an ad for a Vietnamese pot bellied pig. The lady who answered told me it was a lovely pet, very friendly etc, but as they were moving they wouldn't have room for him anymore. I asked about its size & weight, fobbing off her tales of how wonderful the animal was. I told her we were having a big family reunion and wondered if it would be large enough to feed 30 of us...
Another was for IKC Yorkshire terrier pups, so i asked were they nippy (as in fast) little fellas, did they jink and run. When asked why did i want to know that, i replied i wanted them so i could blood my Pit bull.
And also ringing up someone who was selling Hush Puppie shoes, sz 9. I said i only wanted the left one as i was one legged. Ok, not hilarious, but we got a laugh....

The buy & sell tho', where else would you see an ad that states "Mirror for sale, E20, never used"
