Basic Information About Arnold Prank Calls And Other Similar Ones

By Catherine Wallace


Pranks or practical jokes are mischievous tricks some people play on someone, normally to let a victim experience perplexity, embarrassment, discomfort or confusion. These differ from confidence tricks and hoaxes because victims are told regarding the joke after instead of tricking them into handing their money and other valuables. They are lighthearted usually without a lasting impact.

Their aim is in making their target feel foolish and humbled but not humiliated and victimized by using gestures with affection and humor to encourage laughter. Samples of these are the Arnold prank calls which the caller use some sound clips acquired from movies of that actor into fooling the other person to think the one calling them is the celebrity. They use for this digital applications where they only choose recorded sentences in talking like them.

These were originally done by imitating voices of famous people while having these telephone calls that is easier since callers remain anonymous. Doing this became harder though because newer technology has been developed that lets you identify who is calling. These are caller IDs which could let individuals see names of the person calling them.

Pranksters also could use payphones because the receiving device cannot display their numbers but most people prefer not answering calls with no caller IDs shown. These are less common now since the payphones are fewer due to them getting phased out slowly. Their goal in remaining anonymous has become harder with these situations.

Another option is increasing in popularity which is using some VoIP services where telephone number will not exist simply. Tracing these calls are very difficult because they could pass through several servers and routers operated by different entities from various countries. Law enforcement agencies can trace them though but the required resources, effort and time is too great for an ordinary prank.

With more people on the internet, prank calls have increased their popularity again with some radio stations dedicating their content on this. Various submissions coming from the community are broadcast and featured on their channel by them. There are software apps which allows private sharing of pranks with fellow users in real time.

Sharing of personally created pranks calls through the internet is possible allowing their own community to get developed. They might share previously recorded or live ones with some systems giving listeners the platform of chatting with pranksters while they are calling victims. Giving suggestions to what they would say is possible including having some discussions.

Be careful though when you plan to do this yourself because laws are there against the abuse of this joke that is considered a crime. You could not call emergency services then pretend someone needs help immediately or just talk to them random things. Calling with intent of threatening, abusing or harassing someone is a crime too.

Another prank commonly done and considered a criminal act is when law enforcement agencies are contacted to report threats like explosives. This can cause inconvenience due to the area being searched or possibility of cancellation for the event there. They will trace your call and arrest you.
