Prank Victim #1

Man, I seem to be always falling for pranks, seemingly clueless always.

Here’s the latest prank I fell for. I had ‘oi whats your phone number‘ my MSN personal message last night, and within a few hours, I was flooded with people wanting to give me their phone numbers. Anyways, u238 decided to join the fun. This is our chat log:

u238 says:
03 9347 6000

u238says:
call me now

Chewxy says:
Er.. I already have your phone number

u238 says:
house number

Chewxy says:
What for?

u238 says:
I got a cool house phone? and a nice number

u238 says:
58 bucks from myer. panasonic cordless. with this that

At that point, I called the number. Then this is our continued chat log:

Chewxy says:
Thats… not your number

u238 says:
my house phone doing

Chewxy says:
How come when I called someone other than you picked up?

u238 says:
coz i have an operator

Chewxy says:
wtf

u238 says:
and did the operator say “manhattan terrace, how may i help you”

Chewxy says:
ya.

u238 says:
thats my friend

At this point, it seemed a little suspect, so I asked cfgt, who was his previous housemate.

Chewxy says:
Hey, is u238 staying in Manhattan Terrace?

cfgt says:
…

cfgt says:
you do know what manhattan terrace is, right?

uh oh… trouble. I quickly googled Manhattan Terrace. And there it was… Manhattan Terrace (NSFW).

Chewxy says:
ah. brothel

cfgt says:
so do you still expect u238 to be staying in Manhattan Terrace?

Chewxy says:
Damn.. got pwned

cfgt says:
anyways, your chatlog for that should be bash-worthy

Chewxy says:
I’m blogging this

cfgt says:
LOL

cfgt says:
fyi this prank was in the can for a long time…

And then I decided to counter-prank him. I had wanted to send some escorts over to his place, but it turns out they require you to use your credit card to make some deposit before sending out any call girls. Damn…

p/s: To Manhattan Terrace.. sorry for calling at such unwieldly hours. And oh… that’s free advertisements for you.
