OK this was funny:)

A friend from this site got someone to call me claiming to be with Es executive office, the caller ID even showed 800 333 3474.....

They were unhappy with my postings and offered me a years FREE service to quit bashing them... I refused the free offer...

It was a classic great joke...........

Kudos to all involved.... they got me good. Having played jokes like this on others I appreciate others trying to get me A real howl!

Well, I guess I can see why you double posted this.

Dont they know executive offices dont show the 800 number everytime Dish executive called me and there been a few from engineers over issues with the 7200 they all had Colorado area codes if there in CO or not.

I've got to say I don't see the humor in this. There are too many bad things that can happen with this kind of joking around.

Whatever it was, I have him on ignore, I wouldn't believe it, that's why I have him on ignore. After years of BS and drivel I don't care anymore!

 

[Bobby]

Yeah, especially if the joke is on Bob...:dev

 

[Bob Haller]

Yes you can believe it because I do have the same program that will display any name and number you want on someones caller ID. Funny to play pranks on friends.

I've never doubted the technology, just the source and story.

I would occasionally get calls from 800 numbers in which the prefix begins with or has all zeros. I pick up the phone and before they say anything, I tell them, "I don't answer calls with fake phone numbers", and then hang up.
