Phone Bomb
« on: October 28, 2006, 08:15:43 PM »
I just got an email from the webmaster of this site:

http://www.phonebomb.net/

He wants to link swap with me.  I'm not sure if it's an automated link swap request like I get all the time or not.    But the site design is awesome.  And the service is...interesting.  Apparently it lets you submit a number of someone you hate and the service harasses them forever.  In the "about" section it says this:

Once a phone number is submitted for bombing, a team consisting of both staff members and users call using computer programs, relentlessly, for as long as they feel like. Simple as that. No questions. No joke.

DO NOT submit your own phone number as a test, as you will be called relentlessly.


And here's the FAQ:

Q: What's the risk?

A: There is none! Just submit the phone number of a person who you hate or want revenge on. Has someone been giving you hell at school? Get fired from your job? Girlfriend break up with you? Fuck them over!

Q: What if I don't know their phone number?

A: If you don't know the persons phone number, you can always crack open your phonebook, or use a website such as Yellowpages.com (U.S.) or Yellowpages.ca (Canada) to find their number.

Q: How do I know if it really works?

A: Submit your own number and see what happens...

Q: Isn't this illegal?

A: You would think, but no - not one bit. Since it does not automatically bomb the number, it is legal. Real people are calling the numbers.

Q: What if my phone number is posted and I want it removed?

A: Too bad, motherfucker. Wait it out, or change your phone number.


I'm not going to test this out tonight.  But if anyone else wants to, I'd like to hear the results.  Is this really real?  Or is it just going to spam the number with phone sex ads?  There's a forum on the site, too.  I'm just now starting to read the posts.  But this one is interesting:

Hey rbcp,

That was not an automated email.  One of your members joined my forum and posted your link ( see http://phonebomb.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=64&pid=371#pid371 ) So I thought, since the sites obviously have something in common, we might as well link up because that's what all the cool sites are doing these days.

Wow if that is real, that is probably the coolest thing I have seen in a while.  You should do a "link swap" with them, I mean why not, it seems like a cool site to me.

Well it says it isnt illegal, but I certainly wouldnt want to host all those phone numbers on my website, where the members are encouraged to harrass the owners of said number.

But then again I have no problem phoning thme  ;D









































































P.S.... Frog made me do it... Frog is my new hero and he told me to do it... Direct all angry stuff at frog..

He already did.

I'm kinda supprised this hasn't hit digg(or other such sites) yet, but if it did, the thing would be over.
