PRANK-CALLING Insight?
-
I received a strange prank call recently. The strangest was, was that when my friend and her phone were near me her phone number popped up on my screen...so the prank-caller was using her number to disguise himself. He was also using MY number to call me. Any insight on how he/she was able to do this? He/she was also changing his voices. One of the voices he was making sounded computerized. How is this possible? It is also evident that he/she was on my facebook reading off the conversation I was having with my friend who "called" me. I asked her if she was prank-calling me, and she said no. I told her that I couldn't play along with the prank-call because my mom was in the room. About 3 minutes later he calls and asks me "Is your mom still in the room? Can you play along with the prank-call now?" I am scared and very confused. I need an understanding of what is going on and how are things he/she did are or become possible. Pleas help.

Well I had a friend who had something similar happen to her. She would get this strange phone call at random hours of the morning and they would also use a computerized voice to cover up their deceit. Although it was obvious that they were just phrases (sounded like a person) that could be found on the internet by anyone. The computerized voice is no secret. Anyone with a PC can do it. You just have to go to your Text to Speech tab and it will literally say ANYTHING you want it to. This sound like a practical joke to me. Probably some friend of yours on facebook who finds it funny. Trust me I've had a kid send a note saying he was basically stalking me, only to find out it was one of my friends haha. Just ignore the calls. Eventually they will give up

say your going to the police or try and say something like ur voice is stupid and then laugh. Maybe even try pranking them saying i see you or is this pizza hut be funny and don't tell them to stop because they keep doing it. Act like you know who it is and say your gonna call their mom or dad if they don't stop.

its called spoofing the number it can be done online as well as the voice masking... its just a friend you know... if not your mother seeing how youll act to a situation like this... but its definitely someone you know and that knows you well enough to have your number and personal info
