The head of PrankNET, who goes by the online name "dex" and has been behaving badly

Not very big yet, but the FBI is now involved ... the real problem here is that "dex" has a following of other pranksters:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,532241,00.html

Online Pranksters Wreak Havoc at Hotels, Restaurants Nationwide

Quote:

If the phone in your hotel room rings unexpectedly at 2 in the morning, you might soon become the next victim of a network of scammers who are causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage at accommodations around the country.

Often imitated and deviously duplicated, a group called PrankNET appears to be at the center of a growing trend that has harried hoteliers and restaurateurs for months and is now being investigated by the FBI.

Amusement at the expense of others seems to be reaching epidemic proportions.

i think i received a similar call when working for the airlines.

It was about midnight, i had just dozed off sound asleep in the hotel room and my phone rings.

i answered it and the voice on the other end of the line sounded as if it belonged to a 15 or 16 year old kid.

he started going on and on about how he was calling from the front desk and he had at least a dozen noise complaints against my room, and would need me to do a series of things to my room in order to make the room more sound proof.

all i said was...

"sir, you have reached one of the airline crew sleep rooms, i would think that if you were from the front desk you would know that... i have a wake up call at 4am that once received indicates i have to get out of bed and fly all damned day tomorrow... i can assure you the only sound coming from this room is the sound of me getting rest."

after about 3 seconds of silence the voice on the other end of the line had a complete change of tone

"sorry to bother you." <CLICK>

i received no further disturbance.

You might be accused of hypocrisy if you think that is a bad thing.
