I'm sure you guys have heard of PrankNET by now. They are the guys who did the KFC Strip Prank, Hotel break pranks, and a lot of other stuff. I'm sure you guys would love to hear them live, so here is a guide of how to. They're usually on every night at midnight EST.
Here is a guide: http://pranknet.org/beyluxe
If you would like to listen to some of their calls before doing this, go to their youtube: http://youtube.com/pranknet.
Have fun and enjoy,

Anyone into signing up, recording, and reposting it for the benefit of those who don't want to install some Benelux whatever for whatever?
-
I love listening to their YouTube pranks, but why can't they just use Stickam or some other similar thing like normal people? Beyluxe scares me!

I'll record the show, but it's like 6 hours long, and I don't want to edit it My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself..

They were using uStream, but the admin banned him. They said they're going to try Justin.tv, but they hate Stickam for some reason.
-
They banned me from that room like... 3 minutes after I joined. I didn't even do anything :D
-

Probably because it's filled with whores, emos, and emo whores.

Yay. I got unbanned. I <3 Dex!
Also, they did some crazy stuff tonight.
They had 4 guests in the same hotel activate the sprinklers in their rooms while the front desk lady pulled the fire alarm.
And that's not even the half of it.
They did epic pranks like this for literally hours, and none of them were the least bit boring.
Probably because it's filled with whores, emos, and emo whores.
Emo whores? That's a bit redundant, don't you think?

Edited due to the prank being removed.

First, download Beyluxe Messenger (http://beyluxe.ourtoolbar.com/Storage/82/195/CT1954382/Downloads/Beyluxe.exe). Next, install it, open it up, and register an account. Once you're logged into your account, go to the toolbar at the top and click Action > Join a Chat Room > Adult > Playground (check show Adult and Restricted rooms) > PrankNET.
This is the wrong link and it's a sketchy bullshit toolbar. I found the messenger and it doesn't seem too scary. I installed it in sandboxie and it seems OK. So far it hasn't installed anything else or sent any network traffic that doesn't make sense.
I'll record and post if I hear something cool

Okay, I changed the link, thanks. I haven't been listening for a few days since I'm on vacation, but I listened a bit the other day.
-
Right now Dex is making us spam his Stickam link. He is trying to get on some special list of popular channels or something. So go to http://stickam.com/pranknet and idle. That link should be useful to anyone who doesn't like Beyluxe, too.
-
This is pretty awesome now.
-
I offer to host, but I am never needed.
-
I hosted the whole night so I have admin in the room now. I'm going to start a list of news articles of pranks these guys did.
Please do because I sure couldn't find anything in the news about their pranks using Google. (Excluding KFC and that fridge out the hotel window one.)
-
I installed Beyluxe Messenger and have had no problems with it
Last night they were trying to get hotel guest to break their windows by telling them that there was a GHOST in the hotel
-
They just somehow managed to get a hotel to give him remote access to their computer. Now we are listening to an employee on the phone while Dex watches/controls the computer.
-
The ghost was anally sodomized...
The ghost episode is up.
-
Ghost leak! You don't hear it in the video, but afterwords, the old lady asks him to call her son in the next room and let him know about the ghost leak.

"Bergmann, aided by a hotel guest, would subsequently follow a series of directions from the caller that would result in about $50,000 in damages to the hotel's windows, carpets and electrical system."

All done within the past week.

"Bergmann, aided by a hotel guest, would subsequently follow a series of directions from the caller that would result in about $50,000 in damages to the hotel's windows, carpets and electrical system."
The one night I listened to PrankNET, I heard Dex do this same prank over and over about 15 times. It got boring after awhile and I quit listening. But at $50,000 and with him doing this every night for months now, I bet he's easily caused at least a couple million dollars in damages.

It sent me to Google the first time, then it was normal the second time.

Not sure what's going on with PrankNET.org ::)
-
They also do these call where they pretend to be a radio station and get people to do crazy things because they think they will win money. ;D
RBCP you should try and interview DEX or some of the other guys for the PHONE SHOW or PLA RADIO

http://www.pranknet.org is now re-directing to http://www.fridaynightcranks.com
That's because in one of the articles, they mentioned pranknet.org. Dex thought it would be funny to redirect the shit to some other pranker's site. It seemed pretty funny at the time he did it.
-
Well, since the FridayNightCranks people suck balls, noone will believe they do anything near what Dex does.
Actually, what Dex does is easy enough if you're into that sort of thing. Meh, I can find 100 other scenerios to try out that would be alot more challanging.
-

That doesn't make much sense. The night I listened Dex was having everyone spam other chat rooms to get more listeners because he wasn't happy with the 20 or so he had. He seems to want as many listeners as possible for his pranks, which is understandable. So why would he just hand over his sudden surge of media attention to some other prank show? I don't think it's just to be funny.
-
He wants people to listen but does not want cops under cover to listen
-
Pranknet.org seems to be back to normal now.

Shits Out of Control!. Keep posting on youtube! Sucker!

From http://www.thecabin.net/stories/061209/loc_0612090003.shtml (http://www.thecabin.net/stories/061209/loc_0612090003.shtml):
CPD investigating prank call
A Tennessee woman has contacted the Conway Police Department claiming that she knows the identity of a prankster associated with the Web site pranknet.org, who she says was responsible for Saturday morning's vandalism-by-proxy prank call to a local hotel. The woman said she was listening to it live as it happened.
Hotels across the country have been hit with prank calls in recent days, all following a consistent theme. The caller claims to be a representative from SimplexGrinnell, a company that installs and maintains fire alarm systems, and convinces an employee that there is a problem with the alarm and it needs to be "reset" by pulling on an activation handle. When the alarm goes off, the caller is told that every overhead fire sprinkler in the building will activate unless they "disable" the sprinkler system by striking an automatic sprinkler head, which triggers the sprinkler. In the case of the local hotel, the caller also said that smashing windows would deactivate the alarm.
Management at the Conway hotel claimed $50,000 in damages, cleanup costs and lost revenue.
The prank is similar to one found on pranknet.org in which the caller identifies himself as "dex." A guest who was "duped" into breaking hotel windows said Monday that the voice heard in this recording "sounds exactly like" the man he was speaking to.
Pranknet.org has been offline since Tuesday morning.
Jericho Batsford of Knoxville, the woman who called CPD, spoke with the Log Cabin Democrat Tuesday and Wednesday, saying she could confirm that "dex" was responsible for the call and was willing to cooperate with authorities in bringing criminal charges against him.
"That hotel was one of 10 that night," Batsford said. They did 20 speedpranks. They did 20 in six hours, so this hotel is just one of many, and I don't agree with any of it. "I think that what he's doing is very, very wrong."
Batsford said she had been a fan of "dex," and has participated in prank calls with him under the alias "jericoNtn." When the nature of the calls changed from making people believe an awkward but harmless thing was happening to compelling people to damage property, believe their lives are at risk or perform obscene "examinations" on themselves, she said, she didn't think it was funny anymore.
"I've sat for the last month in the room when he's called," Batsford said Tuesday night, referring to an online "room" where listeners using Web site Beyluxe.com hear the calls live and can make prank calls of their own. Listeners are often given incentives to make prank calls by "dex," according to Batsford.
"(Monday) was my last day with him," she said. "They had kids in there under the age of 18 doing bomb threats. They don't care anything about the damage that they're doing. They don't care a bit about it at all. ... I said eventually somebody was going to get killed or hurt or caught."
Batsford said "dex" is a man in his mid-20s living with his mother in Windsor, Ontario, "who steals WiFi from his neighbor." He has no job, she said, and makes some money selling CDs of his prank calls, which are shipped from a Bangor, Maine, address.
She knows his identity, she said, because she once wired him money through Western Union.
"I've helped him out with bills and helped his mom out with some stuff," she said. "I felt like we were friends, but there at the end he didn't listen when I told him several times about the damages," she said.
Her information has been received by the FBI, according to Special Agent Jason Pack of the bureau's National Press Office.
"I know the right people will take a look at it," Pack said Thursday, though he couldn't confirm that the FBI was considering the calls a federal crime.
Local law enforcement is pursing the leads also, Conway Police Department public information officer Sharen Carter said Thursday, and actual representatives from SimplexGrinnell have spoken with 20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Marcus Vaden about pursuing charges against the caller also.
"I think their lawyers are looking into it, and I don't think they're too happy about it," Vaden said.
Batsford said "dex" is aware of the attention his pranks have received, but she doesn't think he's worried about the notoriety.
"He knows all about the newspaper stories," she said. They post them on there and laugh about them. He thinks he can't get caught."
There are difficulties in prosecuting someone from another country, Vaden said, but whether or not "dex" can be caught remains to be seen.
-
Hah, pranknet.org (http://www.pranknet.org/) posted a call on their main page supposedly made by the tattletale from that article I just posted. That's pretty funny if that's really her.
-
I don't want to say I told you so. At least not yet, I want to savor the flavor.
This further proves my theory that perpatrators of harmless shenanigans don't get caught nearly as often as those who things that are downright eveil.

That Jew rat! She never liked his pranks. She was just trying to get close enough to expose him. She wasn't too good about keeping her identity tho. Dex probably knows who she is so he can have his ninja assassins take her out before she testifies.

jericoNtn you're giving PrankNet a bad name by doing evil calls like this! You should stick to harmless pranks like Dex does. Geez, grow the hell up lady.

My ass has fallen off due to laughter. i like how they completely said that her name was Jericho Batsford from Knoxville...so now who is going to look up the number so we can harass her? :P

The FBI is taking over the investigation into a prank call that caused $50,000 in damage to a local hotel.
Conway Police Department public information officer Sharen Carter said Monday that the FBI is looking into the June 6 prank call, where a man claiming to be a representative of Simplex Grinnell compelled hotel employees to pull a fire alarm by saying that the alarm system needed to be "reset." ....
:nonsense:

That's already been posted, and the FBI hasn't done anything and it's been almost a month.

BAYTOWN TEXAS — The manager of a Baytown fast-food restaurant was duped by a prank caller into pulling a lever triggering fire suppression equipment that soaked the eatery with foam.
The caller told an Arby's general manager Sunday that he was from the fire department, and the lever had to be pulled for a test to be performed. Nothing happened the first time it was pulled, so the manager was instructed to pull the lever again, which prompted spray from the ceilings, The Baytown Sun reported.
The caller then told the manager to break the windows and evacuate the building. Workers evacuated, but did not break the windows.
The restaurant was shut down for cleanup. Police said several area businesses have received similar calls, and they are seeking the public's help.

-
Dex still won't say why the website is down.
-
WTF!!!!! AGAIN!!! THIS TIME I DIDN'T EVEN SAY SHIT!!!!! I POSTED A LINK, GAVE PRANKSTER CREDIT FOR FINDING IT AND GOT BOUNCED!!! AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?

They have stopped breaking windows now they are posting craiglist ads for free stuff and get people to call them
-
"While I can't help finding Dex's calls extremely amusing, I think that they need to stop before he seriously hurts or kills someone," said Brad Carter, who runs the Web site phonelosers.com and has been following Dex's activity.
"I'm amazed that nobody has hurt themselves yet by breaking these giant plate glass windows [at hotels]. I'm amazed that he's still making all of these calls when he knows the FBI is investigating them and he's probably caused millions in damages at this point."
Watch out Brad, Dex is gonna start attacking you now and calling you a douchebag!

It seems there a lot of people being banned for "not saying anything".
If you really didn't say anything, then maybe you were supposed to. Or maybe they just didn't like your user name.
-
Dex is bouncing people who have names that appear to be paki.
-
well if he has a problem with my name ill change it, thats not a problem
i just want to be unbanned :-\

Why don't you PrankNET people get your own forum?

Yes the Pranks on Prank Net continue no one can stop Prank Net
-
as much as you would like to see them stop, the pranks continue, i'm in the room right now and they just finished up a call where they got the guy and his wife to order porn and turn the volume all the way.

last night started out shitty. No calls came in at first and the beyluxe had troubles. Once u left the room you couldn't come back in. It got down to about 50 people left. Then when it came back it was great. we had 2 or three really epic calls. I'm editing my recording of the whole night as we speak so i might post links later
-
So does anyone have any insight on how dex is dealing with his recent publicity.
-
I even played 2 UPL calls
those guys suck so bad.
-
hey trotfox, did you make a IF_I_WAS_A... name? that was pretty cool. but ya people the pranks are still going on, you thought that it would all shut down because of a news story? my guess is that they will have to arrest dex before he stops.
-
This cat Dex is the next Applesauce.
-
So does anyone have any insight on how dex is dealing with his recent publicity.
Yeah, he stopped doing legally questionable calls. I never hear stuff being broken anymore.
edit: I guess you meant the TSG article linked in the post I read just after writing this. Nevermind.

Retarded stuff going on -- I remember being apart of pranknet since 99-00... I even designed the logo that everyone sees today. Maybe you've heard the rap songs I made when I was 15 to eminem instrumentals.
So anyway I figured I'd stop in and say hi to anyone who might have remembered me and I get banned from the chatroom within the first minute! lame.

if it wasn't for someone starting it here, we wouldn't be here, stop talking shit about pranknet, they do things that you could never do, i think dex is gonna stop the pranks towards the end of the year because all of the news going around. so we're just enjoying the last couple months of pranknet that we got left
-

Without this topic the PLA forums would be back to only 5 posts a day ;D
When I play PLA pranks on Prank Net i give the PLA link to anyone who wants to hear more calls so Prank Net is getting more people to the PLA web site
This topic does not hurt the PLA in anyway

This topic does not hurt the PLA in anyway
until they try to start linking PLA activities with the activities of Dex the retard.

If that was a problem then why would RBCP let his name and the PLA web address be in articles about prank net. People reading those stories could go to the PLA web site and see some of the PLA pranks and say they are as bad as Prank Net.
From day one RBCP has talked about Prank Net and we have not seen any problem because of it.
-
why would rbcp talk bad about dex in an article if he didn't want PLA associated with pranknet? i think that question asnwers itself.
-
I'm just pretending to be a reporter by writing/copying articles about PrankNet onto phonelosers.org because I think it's fascinating stuff. You'd think that wouldn't confuse people into thinking we're PrankNet, but the recent comments on our Hotel Pranks page suggest otherwise.

A couple things:
First, did anyone else hear/read about how Dex got the phone company to redirect calls to his Skype? Basically, he called the phone company and said, "Our main line isn't working! We need you to redirect all calls to XXX-XXX-XXXX right now!" That's... pretty clever. A lot easier than ordering remote forwarding and then tricking the business into forwarding the calls. Has anyone else tried this and is it really that simple?
Also, why the the PrankNet YouTube page suspended? The calls that were actually posted on the page weren't really that bad from what I remember. Or, at least, they weren't anything worse than getting a Walmart put on lockdown because they think a child is missing like Friday Night Cranks did. That sucks...
-
there's not much more to getting lines forwarded than that. it doesn't take a genius. it's just simple SE'ing.
rbcp, you wouldn't know anything about those methods, i bet ;D

There's so much Dex stuff on here lately that I can't remember if this was posted yet or not. It came out just a few days after the original TSG PrankNet article.

Heres something bill won't tell you.....
The FBI has found no violation of a federal statute and has discontinued its investigation.
Special Agent Steve Frasier of the FBI, said Thursday, “We looked at the allegation. There doesn’t appear to be a violation of federal law. From the information we’ve received, it may violate state law, but from what we’ve received, there was no violation of a federal statute.”

Prank Net set up a craigslist ad for women seeking men and this 46 year old called in and the prank net girl that was answering it said that she was only 14 years old he wanted to meet her at MacDonald’s and then he masturbated on the phone. Then another prank net user jumped in at said that he was from NBC and the cops would be getting the tapes. The guy freaked out so next time we will think twice when trying to talk to a 14 year old about sex.
At the end they got him to go the police station and turn himself in
So who said that prank net was all bad they did some good work.
-

Not surprising that people are getting arrested. I'm suprised it took this long really. Is there any estimates on total damage caused all toghter by Pranknet?
-
arrested yesterday for a June 20 call targeting a McDonald's in Lufkin, Texas (Markle lives in Diboll, a neighboring city).
Second local arrest, yet another good reason to avoid local shenanigans.
-
Or you could just keep the shenanigans to stuff that doesn't cause thousands of dollars worth of damage or cause a person to be covered with fire extinguisher powder or drink urine or risk injury.
Yeah. It's so crazy. It's so crazy it, just, might, work.
-
I got hassled by cops when I was a kid for local mischief that wasn't harmful in the slightest. It's not as simple as avoiding harm. I'm sure other people here have similar experiences of being the subject of some idiot local cops witchhunt.
It's like a law of nature, the chance of you getting hassled by cops for a prank is inversely proportional to the distance between you and the prank.

Both of the guys arrested from PrankNET were using Skype, pranking local businesses.

Senior Citizen falls victim to Motel 6 prank (http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9027886)
Here's a brand new PrankNet news story:
According to the Smoking Gun, Joseph Jones, 73, was sleeping in a Motel 6 room in Spartanburg, S.C. late Sunday evening when he was awakened by a phone call.
The male caller, who identified himself as a hotel administrator, spun out a bizarre story about a prior guest having left “highly sophisticated cameras” in the guest’s room. The man told Jones that “he would tell him what to do to get rid of them,” according to a Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office report.
At the caller’s direction, Jones took the ceramic toilet tank cover and smashed the television (presumably a hiding place for a hidden camera). Since the cover shattered without breaking the TV, the caller told Jones “to throw the TV outside and he did.” Jones was then told that cameras were “behind the mirrors and that he needed to smash them.” The guest complied, grabbing a wrench he had in the room to smash the mirrors.
-
Wow didn't know they were still going, that's definitely them though. I feel bad that I gave them the idea for the mirrors.
-
Here's PrankNet's latest prank. I bet you'll never guess what they did!
Hotel Prank Causes $115,000 In Damages (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/hotel-prank-causes-115000-damages)
JANUARY 14--A Nebraska Holiday Inn suffered damages in excess of $100,000 this week when a phone prankster posing as a hotel employee convinced a guest to set off a sprinkler system, according to police.
The January 9 hoax targeting the Omaha hotel (pictured at right), which caused significant damage to seven guest rooms and a conference room, is identical to scores of prior calls placed to hotels by members of Pranknet, the online band of phone vandals. The group has often targeted Holiday Inn locations because callers can be directly connected to rooms without needing to know guest names.
In light of the six-figure damages, cops are investigating the prank as a felony, according to Officer Aarion Nielsen, an Omaha Police Department spokesperson. Nielsen added that investigators are actively pursuing leads, which may include tracking telephone records. Holiday Inn staff provided police with the phone number from which the hoax apparently was placed; calls to that number (in California’s 530 area code) are now met with an immediate busy signal.
The Omaha prank began with a call to Room 202, which was occupied by businessman Mark Thomas. Posing as a hotel employee, the male caller told the 47-year-old Thomas that a maid had broken a gas line. Thomas was directed to place wet towels at the base of his door, so that dangerous fumes did not enter his room.
The caller, who claimed to be following Fire Department instructions off a computer, then told him to unplug all electrical devices and open the room’s windows, Thomas recalled in a TSG interview. The hoaxster, he added, was “very self-assured and sounded like he was working from a script.”
An Omaha Police Department report notes that the caller then directed Thomas to “break the red glass vial in the sprinkler.” This was purportedly necessary because the device could hold an electrical charge that could lead to an explosion caused by gas seeping into the room.
Thomas broke the bulb, setting off the sprinkler. As the room filled with water, the caller told Thomas that the shut-off valve was located behind the bathroom mirror, which had to be ripped off the wall. The guest complied, only to discover nothing behind the mirror.
The deluge lasted for about 15 minutes, flooding Thomas’s room and adjoining spaces, as well as causing significant damage (as seen above) to the Holiday Inn’s lone meeting space directly downstairs. Hotel owner Kurt Trivedi told TSG that he believed about 5000 gallons of water flooded the hotel, which he opened in 2009.
Trivedi said an insurance adjuster this week estimated that repairs to the hotel would cost approximately $115,000. The hoax, he said, has cost him the use of seven guest rooms and the meeting space, adding that repairs could take about three weeks.

From Convicted Degenerate Phone Prankster, 20, Arrives At The Big House In Texas (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/archive/201102)
After a brief stay in a county jail, convicted felon James Tyler Markle arrived last week at Texas’s notorious Huntsville prison to begin serving time for a telephone prank.
The freshly shorn Markle, 20, is being held at Huntsville’s Holliday Unit, an intake facility where state inmates are assessed by corrections officials. Markle, seen in the new mug shot at right, could spend up to two years at Holliday before being transferred to his unit of assignment, according to a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman.
A blubbering Markle--who used the online handle “Prankster” when tormenting victims on the phone--was sentenced in late-November to five years in jail for criminal mischief in connection with a hoax call he placed to a McDonald’s restaurant. Markle was once a leading figure with Pranknet, the notorious confederation of online vandals.
While Markle’s projected release date is in March 2013, he could be paroled as early as this June from Huntsville, Texas’s oldest prison and home to the state’s death chamber.
Five years for a prank call! Keep this in mind if you ever think making a Dex-like prank call would be hilarious.
-
I'd never thought of making Dex-like calls as hilarious. Still standing by my ideal that Dex himself is a huge piece of shit and not even that funny, but his victims deserve what they get for not having the common courtesy to think anything out for themselves instead of panicking and doing as told in any given situation, I don't think Dex deserves to be punished. But far from praised, either.
Dex is a prick.
Dex's victims are fucking idiots.
This leads to five years in sing-sing without a condom to call your own.

This article (http://www.yorknewstimes.com/articles/2011/03/16/news/doc4d80d5d007f06708298095.txt) says the same ole stuff about damages and fire alarms in a York, Nebraska hotel this week. The end of the article says this: Klug said it’s believed that the 2009 hotel incident in York was prompted by a group from Canada that calls themselves Pranknet (who had been implicated in other cases around the nation, although no charges were ever filed). “But there’s so many different groups out there now, doing the same thing, there’s really no way to know who was behind this latest one.”
Do any of you think that's true? Are a bunch of spinoff groups really being created that imitate Dex's hotel destruction pranks? I've never heard of any, but I guess it's possible. I'd probably think it was complete bullshit if someone hadn't done all that hotel damage in Vancouver, BC a few weeks ago. Authorities there were blaming "an American" just because the caller ID showed a southern California phone number, but Skype often displays southern California numbers to prank victims. Would Dex really pull this shit in his own country, though, even if it is in another province?

I think the real question is why he did in US. It's not like he wouldn't get caught and prosecuted for his crimes, guy lives in Toronto, that's not exactly Islamabad or even France. You can throw rocks at America from Toronto. If he really wanted to get away with it, he'd put on a bad UK accent and do it at expensive/shitty/whatever hotels there. I'd also like to add that flooding out a hotel is FUCKING OVER. Yeah, that's right. Over.

Unlimited calling to the U.S. with Skype, that's why! Doing nonstop destruction pranks to the U.K. would get pricey. He's been doing this for 2 years now, causing millions in damages in the U.S., and they still haven't gone to arrest him even though everyone knows who he is and where he lives and his voice is in all these calls. Apparently you can throw rocks at America from Toronto.
-
It stills blows my mind he hasn't been arrested yet.
-
Maybe the government loves him because he helps stimulate the economy.

Would Dex really pull this shit in his own country, though, even if it is in another province?

It was 16 year old kid that did the damge in Vancouver he was trying to copy the old PrankNet damage calls
-
Damned kids these days. In my day we just tried to make people confused and angry.
-
for once Malik is innocent. I think i just saw a Pig fly by my window.
-
Yes they have stopped the damage calls and have moved on to even worse calls. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/internet/vile-phone-prank-pulled-iraq-vet
They made a man eat his own poop because they basically threatened him by saying he will die from a virus in the room.
They also did this to a mother and her child. This isn't on TSG but it's recorded and dex brags about it all the time. He made the woman pretty much probe her 13 year old child because of the virus. This dude is a psychopath

Sure. He's completely insane. But these people are acting under their volition and assumption that Dex is who he claims to be. But, really? Can you name the last time anyone called you at any point in time with instructions to do any of this?
Also this stuff was already talked about on here.
-
Dude, you're just justifying the action of hurting a person. Yea, people are stupid but does that mean we should try to take advantage or try to harm them for kicks? It's ridiculous that you can somehow justify a horrible act with something so minimal.

No. Dex isn't hurting anyone. These people are willingly decimating themselves in fierce competition to show their complete and total lack of cognitive ability to perform thinking even on the most basic of levels. Even if he were to get fifteen of these people to swallow a mouthful of battery acid, I'd still show no remorse to them whatsoever.
Can you, in your entire existence, tell me the last time you thought it would be a good idea to piss on your fellow employees? Eat shit and drink piss? Take a hammer to everything in a rented room because someone told you there are spy cameras setup some where inside of said room? Shit, man. I never laughed at any of Dex's stuff; always found it amazingly boring. Real entertainment came from reading about these apes and their outcry to be pitied because they lack any aforementioned ability of thought.
Dex is social engineering on a grand scale. Do I think he should be punished? Not in the least. Because if he can convince people to do this and they don't bat an eyelash in question of any of what he proposes as a solution or a proven method of solution, they all deserve what they get. Brutal, sure. Truthful, very.
-
I think that you can get people to fall for so many things just because it's their instinct. Their instinct to respond to danger with anything necessary. I can say that those types of calls aren't fun to do and if you are not fully desensitized you feel bad afterward. Your last statement is a repeat of your previous one. Just a longer way of phrasing it. I still think that just because you can, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do or that you should do it. But I understand your point. btw has anyone seen this:

I found some OLD PrankNet Mp3's from 9-10 years ago. THese are unedited, lots of dead air or retard side talk to the listeners. Enjoy! I love how he *67s when calling Toll Free Numbers.

Did he have a website back in 2000? Was it just a regular shoutcast stream? There weren't a lot of prank call shows back then, so I'm surprised I never heard of the guy until just a couple years ago.
-
he had pranknet.org registered if i recall. it didnt last long, nor did his IRC Network he ran. All he did was a shoutcast stream, just him, NO one else, there was another guy Gabe that did pranks on his server as well. check out the Deltree prank in the zip, i still cant beleive that they pulled that one off to this day.

The reporter calls them PrankNet University.
-
The damage call that was done to the Aberdeen hotel was not Prank University Damage calls have been banned in the PrankU room for nearly 2 years now.

You're right, what other group of prank callers would instruct people to open sprinkler valves and smash plate glass windows?
-
Geez, they sure keep a close eye on this thread.
-
Oh Snap... Sounds like the same voices as before!
-
The calls played in the video were from old damage calls from Youtube. People get bounced from the PrankU room for requesting damage calls. The call was likey done by someone who has been in the PrankU room and when we find out who they are they will be banned.

Water damage has closed down 37 rooms in a hotel.
Cue a pranknet member posting "OMG, IT WASN'T US!!!"
-
It really wasn't pranknet this time. Dex doesn't even send guests to other rooms now, they have really toned down. Does anybody know who is doing the damage calls now? Id love to listen to them instead of pranku.
-
Wow I'm glad this new user registered just to tell us that it wasn't pranknet.. I totally trust this user's post since they are not affiliated

Pranku has really gone downhill, I'm not here defending them. I would much rather find out who is really doing the damage calls and listen to them instead of pranku. If you don't believe me download PuleIM and see for yourself how bad their prank calls are now. Dex lets anybody get on the mic and do calls, no matter how bad they are.
-
If you don't believe me download PuleIM and see for yourself
I'll take your word for it
-
They don't do damage calls anymore. All they do is convince hotel residents that their life is in danger and they should piss and shit on the floor. Oh yeah, masturbation as well.
I did laugh at that one though.

-
I have come accros several new (to me) recordings of Pranku damage calls that have been posted recently. All the voices are recognizable. Is someone releasing old recordings?
As far as I am concerned, the calls to guests that involve screaming for help until the cops arrive aren't really any less disturbing than the broken window calls. It still ties up emergency services.
That being said, I have listened to all of them and feel like an asshole when I laugh.

silly bosk
(PM received from bosk:)
I didn't join this forum to defend pranknet, i joined to find out who is doing the damage calls now because i want to listen to them. You should really get your facts straight, if you took ten minutes out your busy day to join the chatroom, you would then see how false the claims in your posts are. By accusing people of lying in the thread, you essentially being the liar.
Its amazing how ignorant people can be, you would make a horrible scientist, your basing what you say on nothing but your opinion. It would take you 10 minutes to go to pranknet and see for yourself that you are wrong.
STOP SPAMMING THE THREAD. YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS. DEX IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ANY OF THE MOTHERFUCKERS IN THAT ROOM, im just looking for the new prank callers to see if they have a chat room i can listen to them at.
-
"I hate this Dex character, but please go download his software so you can listen to his show!"
-
wow that looks like something Dex would write.

RBCP that video doesnt just point out that Pranku is clearly bullshitting the pla, it's for you too, you need to confess you know what happened to Jon Benet!!!
-
"I hate this Dex character, but please go download his software so you can listen to his show!"
haha, im jot asking you to do that, all im trying to say is that if you truly believe dex is doing the damage calls then see for yourself that you are making the wrong assumptions. I would like to find out who is REALLY doing the damage calls so that i can listen them instead of dex, if everyone here keeps blaming pranku then we are never going to find out who is really behind it. The sooner you realize that pranku is NOT behind the latest string of damage calls the sooner we can work at finding out who really is doing them. That is all im trying to say.
-
Could you please say a few more times that PrankU is NOT doing damage calls any more.... you know, just so we get it straight
-
Hrmmm... maybe if he convinces everyone here that pranku is not behind this (all 5 of us?!?) That will be the greatest prank pranku ever pulled.
The greatest prank pranku ever pulled was convincing the world that pranku did not exist.
-
Heres one thing that pranku did a few months ago i think you guys might enjoy. Dex called a gas station near one of the listeners homes and got the gas prices lowered for him in exchange for the listener taking this picture.

Anyone know if there's any truth to this article's claim that Prank U is making bomb threats now? It says the calls came from Ireland. I'm so confused.
"Earlier this week, we learned a bomb threat that led to the evacuation of Rigby High School came from overseas.
Threats like these could be a growing problem, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
A similar threat was made to Bonneville County on Memorial Day, which, along with the Rigby threat, is being linked to threats being made in Florida.
Detective Michael Jensen said the calls are made as part of a network of pranksters, and that placing a threatening phone call is a pretty simple process."
The video on that page has a little more information than the article does.

-
These fuckers need to learn to PRANK RESPONSIBLY.
Did they ever find out if that Arab guy in Canada was involved? You know, the one who lives in
a 600/month apt with his mom and all he does is play Call of Duty and arrange dangerous prank calls with sex offenders from Texas?
-
Yep, he's definitely the leader of Prank U. No idea if they're really doing bomb threats though. This is the first I've seen them accused of something like that. I think it's possible that any horrible thing that happens via telephone now is going to end up being blamed on Prank U by the cops and media. On the other hand, Dex used to be into SWATing, and making a bomb threat isn't much different than that.
-
I thought that PrankNET had one funny prank, and that was on either PLA Radio 23 or 25, and that was when they called that lady at the Best Western and told her there was a gas leak in her room and she needed to bust the window out to get fresh air. Just hearing her bash away at the window while yelling "BREAK!" had me grabbing my balls trying to keep the piss in..
Other than that, they give pranksters a bad name by doing over-the-top illegal shit like making those girls at the KFC in Manchester freeze themselves naked outside while they laugh about it..
-
So, PrankU is pretty much dead now. They were on PulseIM for awhile but moved back to that beyluxe messenger. Dex is gone. People are saying he got arrested. They heard sirens on his mic while he was talking and then he got disconnected. It's just a rumor but he might be arrested now. There's only around 12 people in the prank room now and nothing goes on. It's officially dead.
Here's a pic of dex on ratemyface.com http://imgur.com/vk7eC
-
Are there any archives of his show? I'd probably enjoy listening to them if they were available somewhere. Someone needs to make a torrent.
-
There's a user called Quake that has over 60GB of the calls taped. No idea if he's going to upload that shit anywhere, or keep it to himself (or destroy it, seeing as it's pretty incriminating stuff). I was a lurker there, but came here when they stopped doing calls.
-
I might have 1 or 2 of the the new dex calls recorded from a few months ago. I remember they were very unethical. I'll look around now.
-
http://speedy.sh/NJbG3/dex-2-24-12.mp3 here is a 4 hour recording of one night, I fell asleep so I have not listened to it. Someone should pick out the good ones and put them on youtube.
-
PulseIM is back up with Dex under the name Admin. He is not doing pranks but instead running a black chat room and people refer to him as Dave.
-
They had crawled back into the Beyluxe messenger hole when dex's pulseim network disappeared. I have no idea if they did anything 'productive' while in the hole they came from, as I was only an observer during their pulseim days. Truly fucked up individuals involved there - no morals at all. They give prank calling a bad name.
-
They have their room in beyluxe but no pranks there. Some of them are back on Pulse- 303, alt, dex (under the name admin). You can tell it is Dex when he talks but the users call him Dave. Also, the users are all black which I find hilarious considering all his nigger rants.
-
I heard that Spike Lee and Kat Williams really don't like dex

So they don't even do prank calls anymore? I guess that's a good thing.

A group of us went rougue on dex. Doxxed him, his family. Swatted him during a live stream. We destroyed them. We even got to teamview hotel guests pcs, claiming to be from corporate and needed to secure a virus spreading on the network. then quickly downloaded pulse and spammed his chat with his dox. we used teamview because he was ddosing the troll ips, so the hotel got ddosed instead of me. We sent police to his home nearly every day, we didnt just swat. we said there was fires in his appartment. we were relentless. one time he was swatted they found weed and arrested him My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.. We called family, learned his dad karim died of a heart attack. something nobody knew in public reports. we got the room numbers they were calling for the night, we forwarned the guests about the upcoming pranks because we knew from the chat, the room order they were calling in.. we got one guy to tell dex he knew he was tariq malik on stream by telling him what was about to happen. we engineeered his account numbers for billing services. the first night we swatted him, he was live streaming. we wanted to confirm the dox was real. mid stream, dex went afk for hours minutes after we placed the call. that confirmed we had him. it was relentless after that. eventually, we called the landlord and confirmed he had moved 'things have been a lot more quiet around here since he left.' she said. When dex came back with the black chat on pulse, our group quickly reassembled. we told him if he continues, we would use our still, unused exploits against him to ruin him. he quickly closed pulse for good. its been years now, i finally decided to tell the story of how we took down pranknet. Other doxxed admins got their share of a taste of their own medicine too. please pm me if you were part of our around the clock relentless destruction of dex group. 50mel(miss you), my pentester buddy M, roadway, mawrz. if you see this, pm me, lets catch up. we had good times. miss those days. i could go on for hours about all we did to bring them down. the truth is finally out, it was time to tell the real story that our small group has never told.
