Exclamation Prank Warning - 11-28-2007, 11:40 AM


I got an e-mail with a link to a web site that was very disturbing yesterday. It was a site that claimed to be able to track where a cell phone is by using GPS technology. I was an idiot and fell for it. if you get a link to a site called www.phonetrace.org DO NOT CLICK ON IT AT WORK OR WITH CHILDREN IN THE ROOM!!!!!

My three yr old was sitting here with me. some friend huh? not a funny joke.

Yikes. Wish you didn't post that here or at least allude to the type of prank.

I go to the site in the link, but don't find anything unusual except another link to a personal relationship site.

If you can't find it, don't keep looking. It goes to an explicit video of gay sex.

Right now, it goes to an all text site. If it went to some gay porn, its probably alot more disturbing to most adults than to your average three year old.
