Title: How did PLA do some of this stuff?
Post by: ataxicwolf on September 06, 2007, 07:19:54 PM
Hey guys, I was wondering how PLA pulled off the pizza, walmart, auto parts, and tech support pranks. I've tried looking around on google but it was to no avail. How did they intercept the calls that were headed to the other places?


thanks a ton guys :)

It's very simple. You just need to send the right intercept commands.

As Brad has explained many times, they took the workers hostage.

You guys are all stupid. We actually got jobs at these places, and then used our days off to answer the phones in the back.

ha, you guys are my heroes. I work at the drive-thru of a fast food place, and so many times i've wanted to scream at the stupid people in their cars.

Also, one more question, if you guys really worked at these places, why did the bell employee call you and say that your lines were crossed with the movies theaters?

As far as the newest class of newbs go he has to be one of the best:
He doesn't only post in the jammer topic, doesn't drag up old threads and at least makes some effort to learn how to phreak.

People pay for cats? What ever happened to seeing a "Free Kittens" sign somewhere and taking a kitten out of an unwanted litter?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and actually answer someone's question without trying to be a comedian:

My guess is that they used the *72 trick, that is, they pretended to be the phone company and got the people at said businesses to dial *72 and forward all their incoming calls to their phone number.

You should have went with the comedy 'cause you are
WRONG SIR

Ask and ye shall recieve. I for one saw this coming in a dream I had the other night. RBCP, murd0c, Tachyon, i-ball, altalp and I were on a school bus with some n00b who wouldn't shut up and I kicked him off the bus. It was either forsight or I need to stop reading these forums right before I go to bed...

I must say, Doctor Strange and the Short Bus Crew is one kick ass name.
