    Join a hermitage / become homeless. The hermitage works for prank calls and heroin addiction. But being homeless just works for prank calls.
    Nobody's going to prank call a homeless junkie.

    Post the Number in personal ads your preferences to include elderly gentlmen of any sexual orientation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 Tedette


    Answer the call, don't hang up but leave the phone down, they'll soon get pissed off paying for a crank call that lasts forever.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,464 ✭✭✭Celly Smunt


    text them,if they text back,take their number and post it here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    Not really sure. Did you catch your refrigerator by the way? :cool:

    Murder, murder, murder, death, death, death.
    Keeping chanting this until it happens and I assure you this problem will go away. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭some random drunk


    Do nothing. Seriously, next time they ring don't say anything to them and don't hang up. Just put your phone down and walk away. They'll just get bored and it will waste their credit too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Create a fake profile for a beautiful girl (I'm assuming the dirty pranker is a young man) on facebook, also a few other fake profiles to be her friends if you really want to take it seriously.
    Have her add him as a friend, saying she'd seen him around town and always wanted to talk to him. Take your time and do some flirting.

    Finally, have "her" arrange to meet her at a certain spot in town, preferably with him wearing a red carnation. Then you and your friends can be there to laugh at him and break his little heart, and maybe beat him up.

    If that's too much effort, take out some subscriptions to embarrassing magazines in his name and have them arrive at his address.

    It's annoying getting prank calls.

    Especially the silent ones where the other person doesn't talk and then hangs up. I remember getting them for a couple of months a while back, well the span of a couple of months, they didn't phone regularly all the time. Thank God that's over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor


    Find him and blast him with piss


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 606 ✭✭✭Jammy Donut


    Ohh loving the suggestions. :cool: :D

    Some numpty rang my Dad over and over again a few months back in the small hours of the morning, I woke up to hear Dad telling someone to f off on the phone, the phone than rang again.

    I took the phone and waited for it to ring again, when it did and the "chap" started talking I hung up, he rings back straight away and tells me not to ever hang up on him :eek: Hung up again straight away, this went on for a few mins over and over again. The lad was getting very irate so I told him his mother loved taking it up the hole. He got very p1ssed off with that and after a quite frankly retarded insult fest (on both sides) he hung up and that was it.

    I have a fair idea who it was, an acquaintance of Dad's who has a drink problem and when he goes on a session he goes a bit lala. Bit of a w@nker when sober too I may add.

    why not just walk into a phone shop and just a buy a sim card with that number that's ringing you? It's almost definitely a pre paid phone. If not, head to the Gardai and say he's harrassing you. Might put the ****s up him.

    Failing that get an extremely irritating sound and play it back to him. Like this:

    1. Put adds up on Gumtree with his car & house for sale.

    2. Also put up furniture free to take away.

    3. Put adds up on daft of apartments to rent.

    4. Dating websites saying he is looking for a boyfriend.

    5. If you know his address block you number and ring about 5 or six places and get food delivered to him all different times at night, giving his name and number

    6. Rob his reg plates in the middle of the night and put them on a very similar car and do a few laps of the TOLL PLAZA let him get a huge bill weeks later.

    Get a friend to call them from a landline. State you are calling from X Garda station, received a complaint and the next step if it continues will be filing for a Section 8 and requesting the telephone operator reveal your identity/location. Us doing so will result in a prosecution.

    Might stop!

    Yeah let's not even take into account the capabilities of a phone's mic and speaker :rolleyes:

    Anyway, post it on /b/ if you really want revenge, but only as a last resort.

    Falsely singing anyone up to any service is tantamount to committing fraud and mis-representation.
    Both of which alone are answered for in an Irish court.

    One should be VERY weary of asking people how to do this - never mind actually doing it!
    (Never mind also asking on a public forum where everything is subsequently on record and might be used as evidence later!)

    I say the above in the wish that the OP should be careful in how he responds.
    I wouldn't wish to see anyone here get into trouble.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 927 ✭✭✭AngeGal


    Ad in local paper offering a job, barperson wanted, no previous experience required or something. Will obviously cost a few quid but the way things are these days, they'll get hundreds of calls for days, that ought to learn em!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭longhalloween


    Go to gumtree.ie

    Write personal ad claiming to be a young, newly single, promiscuous woman. Also add that pics are welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    A few years ago, we kept getting phone calls to my house asking about the "grey-footed geese" we were apparently selling. I live in Dublin, I dunno where we were supposed to have the space for all these geese...

    Anyway, turns out there was an ad in Buy & Sell with our number. Never did find out if it was a prank or a misprint.

    So yeah: put out an ad saying he's selling grey-footed geese. He'll get all sorts of weirdos... hopefully including the person who left a message on our answering machine and forgot their own phone number :P

    Got a few prank calls , had their number.

    Decided to respond by going to the o2 website and scheduling my 250 free texts to him on the hour every hour, day and night with the message " what time is it? "

    After 3 days he was begging me to stop ..... gave it another couple of days for good measure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    WD he obviously deserved it if he hadn't the brain to put his phone on silent or something.

    Still like it though

    An ad for half price (ono) tickets to see Rammstein at the O2, say you have to get rid of them quickly because you got offered a job and need to leave the country this week.
