Now I'm ticked

mholt · 01-17-2006, 10:07 PM

Okay, some classmates got stupid and put up a MySpace profile - I didn't approve of it and they have my picture up on there, my age, etc, NOT something I want on MySpace -_-

I don't even have a MySpace account, thank goodness.

What's worse now is they're using my name, info, and picture to post completely absurd and inappropriate comments around on other profiles.

How can I get back at them?

UPDATE: I sent in a MySpace identity theft complaint and hopefully they'll take care of it, but still... what prank could I play on them at school?

Thanks,
-Matt

In all honesty you should definately not respond with your own prank. all that will end up happening is that both parties (you and them) will keep responding with bigger and bigger pranks until it gets completely out of hand and goes too far.

to clarify this, im just suggeting sensationlizing and making huge a small issue such as this.

Pranks were always great in high school, I'd call up your local paper and tell them you want to surprise your friends with a few words in the paper about them getting married soon. Bring the paper to school and show it around....I remember when I put up an ad in the local paper selling a brand new big screen tv for $100 saying I just wanted to get rid of it and used my friends phone number...living in the city he got tons of calls for days from people wanting the tv badly. Goodtimes

Lol, so what should I do?

Posting an ad in the paper that people cant help but call about is definatly a great idea. Be sure to put his home phone... calls in the early morning and late night wont be welcome... hundreds of messages on the machine, ect

I wouldn't bother doing anything...

Most people get their name on the internet whether they want it or not

weblord · 01-18-2006, 09:34 PM

compuXP, well it happens all the time. you might react by posting pranks like DN Tycoon is suggesting, or make a press release out of it like what im suggesting including your url or just ignore it, they get tired after doing that.

Call all the taxi services and pizza restaurants in the area and send them all over to his/her/their houses.
