There are basically two types of crank fone calls, the ones where you know
|
|
who you are cranking and hate them, or random cranking. The former is
|
|
generally more phun, but if they know your voice, watch out! Here are some dos
|
|
and don'ts of cranking.
|
|
|
|
Type #1--People you know and hate
|
|
|
|
If the person can recognize your voice, there is a very easy solution. Just
|
|
get a friend over and have him call up. If you don't know the person's number,
|
|
just call 411 (NEVER look up things in the fone book! It takes too much time!)
|
|
and ask for their fone. Of course, if they use a handle (which they most
|
|
likely do) you won't know their real name. This can be easily found, however,
|
|
if you are friends with a sysop. Since sysops generally have the people's fone
|
|
numbers on file, just ask him for the number. If the sysop is against
|
|
cranking, just say you want to work out a trade or something. Of course, if it
|
|
is the sysop you want to crank, you must get on his good side and say, "What's
|
|
your fone...I need it if I can't get through and have to talk to you." He'll
|
|
most likely tell you his personal fone number. Ok, now that you have the fone,
|
|
let's get cranking!
|
|
|
|
One thing that really annoys people is the old call 'em and hang up method.
|
|
This, however, is not very phun, and I don't advise you doing it. It is much
|
|
more enjoyable if you actually talk to a person. You can always say things
|
|
like, "Is your refridgerator running? Why don't you try and catch it?" but
|
|
that isn't very original, and thus not very phun. Same goes with, "Is there a
|
|
John in your house?" etc.
|
|
|
|
If you are cranking a real idiot, just say, "This is the FBI. We have traced
|
|
a number of illegal phone (FBI officers don't say fone) calls to this number."
|
|
assuming, of course, that they phreak. They will phreak out when they hear
|
|
this, and, if they're smart, they will hang up. Just call back, and say, "Why
|
|
did you hang up on the FBI?" He'll make up some bullshit story like, "Um...I
|
|
dropped the phone on the reciever...wh-wh-what do you want?" Now he is ready to
|
|
shit in his pants, so say, "We have a number of agents coming over your house
|
|
right this instant. Give yourself up and there won't be any trouble."
|
|
"O-O-Ok." Of course, there are going to be those smart enuf to say, "FBI! Ha!
|
|
Don't give me that bullshit!" Well, you can say something like, "What was that?
|
|
A profanity? To the FBI? You have the right to remain silent..." but it most
|
|
likely won't work. Just keep calling back, and whatever you do, DON'T LAUGH!
|
|
This will phuk everything up so don't do it! If they don't phreak or pirate,
|
|
or do anything illegal, then come up with something else.
|
|
|
|
You could always pull the old, "Is Leroy Brown there?" five times and then
|
|
call l8r and say, "This is Leroy Brown, have there been any calls for me?" but
|
|
I don't like that kind. It's sometimes phun to threaten people and stuff, like
|
|
"You're going to fuckin die if you don't stop calling [BBS]!" Pretending to be
|
|
someone else is often phun, like, "Hi, this is The Apple Bandit! Do you want
|
|
to trade some games?" and some assholes will fall for it! Do this to a friend
|
|
(of course having another friend call while you listen on an extention) and
|
|
when you talk to him l8r, he'll go, "Wow! Apple Bandit wants to trade with
|
|
ME!" You'll be rolling on the floor laffing!
|
|
|
|
Obscene fone calls are not all that great, i.e., the "heavy-breathers" (which
|
|
are really stupid, in my opinion). Pretending you are bra company that is
|
|
giving out phree samples and asking for their bra size isn't too great either.
|
|
Having your girlfriend or sister call up some idiot and say they are a certain
|
|
female sysop [Cloud Nine II (609)(234)(3347)] sounds like phun. Especially if
|
|
they have never heard her voice or seen her (they won't get too excited if they
|
|
have).
|
|
|
|
You can also always call and send out a carrier, but this is generally not
|
|
phun...unless you keep doing it and they get smart and set their term program
|
|
for "answer." Then you can curse them out with the computer! Phun, phun PHUN!
|
|
There's a lot more you can do with people you don't know, and we'll cover that
|
|
in the next section...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type #2--Random cranking
|
|
|
|
Just pick some numbers at random, like [prefix]-1234 or [p]-3825 (which just
|
|
happens to spell "FUCK") and dial them! There are lots of things you can do
|
|
with people you don't know. One of my favorites is pretending to be a radio
|
|
station. Here is a sample conversation that my friend had. This REALLY
|
|
happened!
|
|
|
|
"Hello this is [radio station]! Can you tell me what the Jackson's first
|
|
album was?"
|
|
|
|
"Ummmm...I don't know...hold on a sec! [in the background] Mom! Dad! Wake
|
|
up! Do you know what the Jackson's first album was?" (keep in mind this was
|
|
late at night)
|
|
|
|
"[still in bg] No! Go wake up Mike! He'll know! [she then proceeds to wake
|
|
up everyone in the house, and none of them know the answer]"
|
|
|
|
"Sorry, your time is up, you just lost 5 front row seats at the Jackson
|
|
concert!"
|
|
|
|
"Well, could you tell me what the answer was?"
|
|
|
|
"How the fuck should I know? [click]"
|
|
|
|
If they happen to get it right, be sure to get thier name and address, and
|
|
say, "Your tickets are in the mail!" or something like that. Try not to give
|
|
away that it is a crank, cause if you don't, they'll be waiting by their
|
|
mailbox for days!
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's phun to just say, "This is a crank call!" and see what they're
|
|
reaction is. Other times, don't say anything! Some of them will say, "What
|
|
are you? Chicken to talk?" and will probably curse you out after a little
|
|
while. It's also phun to crank the operator, but be careful! My friend called
|
|
from MY house at a party and said, "Is Huckleberry there? This is Tom Sawyer."
|
|
and two seconds later the fone rang and it was the operator! I'm like, "Umm...
|
|
that was my friend!" and she's like, "Yea, right. Well, don't do it again!"
|
|
You should also watch out for tracers! I know one dude who has one, so what
|
|
you have to do is hang up every 15 seconds or so and call back. Or you can
|
|
always call from a pay fone. You don't have to be too imaginative to come up
|
|
with ways to crank people. The radio station is probably the most phun, but
|
|
saying someone won a random phone number lottery is also phun, but the radio
|
|
one is more likely to work. One time I was cranking someone and I actually
|
|
started getting into a conversation! It was realy weird! I told him my name
|
|
was John, though. But it is really strange! Try calling someone and just say,
|
|
"Hi, how are you doing?" "Who is this?" "Joe [everyone knows someone named
|
|
Joe]" Then you actually start talking to them! Believe me, it is a strange
|
|
experience for them!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part #3--Being the victim of a crank
|
|
|
|
First thing to remember is that if you are getting a lot of cranks, simply
|
|
take the fone off of the hook. If someone calls and says, "Is there a John in
|
|
your house?" just say "Yes." This happened to me a few days ago and they simply
|
|
hung up. If you pick it up and get a modem, boot up your term program and set
|
|
it for answer. If someone claims to be the FBI, ask for their name and serial
|
|
number. Try to get them to goof! You could act scared and make them laugh so
|
|
they give themselves away, then curse them out! Try to turn them cranking you
|
|
into you crankning them! You have to also remember that radio stations don't
|
|
usually just pick numbers and call them! Don't be stupid! When you get a
|
|
crank, just play it C00L. If they are getting on your nerves, say "This call
|
|
is being traced." Ten to one they will hang up. If you know who it was
|
|
[someone read the first part of this] then just crank 'em right back! Don't
|
|
let cranks get to you!
