Essential Details About Arnold Prank Calls And Identical Acts

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 to make the target feel foolish or humbled and not humiliated or victimized by using affectionate humorous gestures to encourage laughter. Examples of these are Arnold prank calls that the caller uses sound clips from the movies of the actor to fool the other person into thinking the celebrity is calling them. They use digital applications for this where they just choose a recorded sentence to talk like them.

Doing these were originally done by imitating famous people with their voices during telephones calls while remaining anonymous which is easier then. Doing this though has become harder because newer technologies were developed that lets the one calling to be identified. These are called caller IDs which can let persons see names of individuals calling them.

Pranksters could also use payphones since their numbers will not display on the device of the receiver but most people do not answer calls from blocked caller IDs. These have become less common now since payphones are being phased out slowly and fewer ones are left. Their goal of remaining anonymous is difficult to do with these.

Another alternative is becoming popular increasingly that is using services in VoIP which telephone numbers are simply nonexistent. Tracing these calls is very difficult because these are passing through various routers and servers operate by several entities from different countries. Although law enforcement agencies may trace them but their time, resources and effort is too great in tracing 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.

Although be careful when you plan on doing this yourself because there are laws against abusing this joke and is considered a criminal act. You cannot call emergency services and pretend someone needs immediate help or just talk random things to them. Calling with the intent to harass, threaten, abuse or annoy someone is also a crime.

Another common prank considered as a criminal act is contacting law enforcement agencies and reporting threats like bombs planted somewhere. This causes inconvenience for the involved area specially when an event might get canceled. They would arrest you by tracing your call.
