Was watching the news when a story about this new cell phone services Spoofcard.com

Selling points on the site:

SpoofCard calling cards offers you the ability to change what someone sees on their caller ID display when they receive a phone call.
Key Benefits: Make calls truly private, Ability to record calls, Change your voice, Fun and inexpensive, Easy to use and fast to set up!

Ya know this world and our society is already fucked up, I don’t have to editorialize to you people what scam artists, criminals, pedophiles, vindictive people will use this site for.

I’m just dumbfounded that this is even legal and unlike dude below I don’t think this shit is the least bit funny.

Check out the story clip.

“So far I have…………………..

Pranked a friend in the Army, and told him that I was from the (lets just say a government intelligence agency) and that if he didn’t quit using government property to surf for animal porn he would be reported to his superiors,and demoted in rank, and possibly even receive a dishonorable discharge. ( I made sure to leave the automated switchboard # for that agency on his caller ID just in case he called it to verify)

I’ve called Republicans and tried to get them to convert to the Democratic party and vice versa.

I’ve ordered Domino’s pizza from the Pizza Hut ID

I’ve called friends when they were home sleeping at 3AM. I called their cells and made their home number show up on caller ID, using the spooky male voice I’d say, “lean over and look under the bed”……. They SHIT when they thought someone was in the house with them!!

April Fools Day, I called my own mother while she was at work, making her own home phone # show up on the caller ID. Using the spooky male voice I pretended to be a burglar and inventory the nice things in her house that I was going to steal. The real clicher was when I named the new TV she had bought that same day and told her it was still in the original box sitting in the middle of the living room. She hung up on me! I had to immediately dial her right back in the normal fashion and say “April Fools”. She would hardly let me speak, she kept cutting me off saying, “I call you back, I need to call the police. Someone is in my damn house”.

Once I even used it for a vengeful purpose. A guy I hated at work…… lets just say his boss got a prank call from him (using the male voice and acting drunk) and left a very very nasty message on his bosses answering machine. He couldn’t deny it. He looked like a schmuck and a liar no matter what he said because there is no possible way to deny your own caller ID with a time/date stamp on the box. (unless you know about the spoofcard) He only lasted about another week at work, until they came up with a sufficient reason to fire him. LET IT BE KNOWN, YOU DON’T MAKE PASSES AT A GUYS GIRLFRIEND! ESPECIALLY IF HE KNOWS THE POWER OF THE SPOOFCARD!

And last but not least, I even used the “POWER” for a good purpose before also. My brother caught his son (my nephew) dabbleing with selling weed. Of course the next day my nephew gets a mysterious call on his cell from a guy saying “we’re watching your every move! And we know about the dope sales.” When he summons up the nerve to call the number to see who it was……..Low & Behold………it’s the non-emergency number to the local Sherriff’s Department. He’s since gone the way of the straight and narrow. So I have to admit my nephews future was well worth the $10 I paid for the spoofcard……….and I even had 58 minutes left to harrass my buddies!

LET’S HEAR YOUR ADVENTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

No worries for me because I don’t live on my cell phone and except for calls from Mrs. Snoop, work and my daughters and I don’t many cell calls.
I sure as hell don’t have my bank in my phone, but anybody that still does not get that your bank would NEVER ever call you about a bank matter on your cell phone will be the prime targets of this type of service.
Just one more reason to be skeptical of the world around you.

Don’t say Snoop didn’t warn ya.
