I clicked it and said the video had expired since it was viewed three times. I really swear I am not lying here. I have been on this site for like 5 months and have never lied once in a thread. I'll even take a screenshot or a picture if you want.

This has to be a prank or something. Worst case scenario is a stalker. Should I really call the cops though. My parents should be home in a couple hours and they probably won't believe a god d*mn word I am saying. I tried *69 to no avail. Can the phone company trace where the number came from?

I am trying to think of who it could be. The voice did kind of sound like one of my friends. Maybe the video sends him a message right before I am done watching it and he called me right after saying that while trying to mask his voice.

To think of it, the girl who sent it to me must know something. She is actually pissed at me because I started calling her "Leen" because I told her she doesn't deserve a 2 syllable name. She's got to be in on it, you just don't stumble across a video like that. I am going to call her now and let you know what she says.
Dude, it's a prank. Anyone can do it on the net. See here http://www.monkeydoo.com/pranks_Online%20Pranks_The+Ring+Prank+V.2.html

The Ring Prank V.2
If you like the original "Ring Prank". You will love this. After watching the video, your friend will receive an actual call with the caller ID "000-000-0000" (very creepy) and A VOICE will start speaking to them. The best part about it is you can CHOOSE what you want the voice to say for the prank. So for example, if I entered "You are going die in 7 days as the message", that is what the voice would say. How awesome is that?

Unregistered users get 2 trial pranks. Registered users get 10 pranks daily, go register.

Unfortunately you have to wait for it to scare your sh!t off before you can use it.

EDIT : The funniest part is he was literally owned by the internet. That has to be a first here.

If only I had seen that earlier. I've never heard of monkeydoo and didn't think much of it. I just got off the phone with her and I guess it was her method of revenge with me. I'll admit, big time pwnage.

I am kind of pissed, but relieved at least. You need excitement in your life. Now I just need to get her back. I have to admit, this is a kick a$$ prank. I'll definately have some fun with it over the weekend, lol

Christ, where do I start. I was on AIM and this girl from my class sent me an IM. She said she was surfing the web and found this really creepy video that had my name in it. I told her to get the link because I thought she was messing with me, but she actually posted it.

Needless to say, I clicked the link. The video actually was kind of wierd, but I am so desensitized to that stuff by now. It was basically similar to the video in "The Ring" with some other twisted messed up crap. Throughout the film, stuff about me like my name and birthday were spliced in. I'll admit it creeped me out a little bit, but I knew it was possible for one of my friends to make something like that.

Here is where it takes a turn for the worse. As soon as the video ends (I mean like a half a second after), my phone starts ringing. I jumped a little, but the phone was right on my bed so I checked the caller ID. It displayed the number as 000-000-0000 which I had never seen before. Of course I had to answer it being the skeptic that I am.

There is a slight pause and after I say Hello, a voice comes on. It was sort of like the voice from the movie, but it sounded more like a guy. I think my heart stopped while I listened to what he said. I am not in the best state to remember it exactly right now, but it was along the lines of this:

"J***** (my name), I am going to rip your f***ing head off on the 6th. But first I'll have a little fun with Sarah (my gf)."

He hung up and I nearly fainted. I literally couldn't breath or think. The first thing I did was call Sarah. She answered the phone and was fine. I told her about the call and she thought I was joking with her (I have pulled some stuff like this before on her) and had to leave for a Field Hockey game.

After I got off, I tried to think logically. This has to be some kind of prank. There is no way there can actually be a killer video tape. But, how would they know all that stuff about me and call immediately after I finished watching it. I am really worrying that it might be a sick stalker or something. He could be watching me now as I type this. I have pissed off quite a few people who might try to do something crazy.

I don't know; I am at a loss right now. I am really just trying to keep cool by typing this. What do you guys think I should do. I swear to god I am not lying. I am in honest need of your help. Please


Edit: Well, I just found out from her that it was a prank. Seems a few AT users beat me to the chase though. I'll admit, I got owned big time. This is one great prank though. I can see some seriously potential for fun with this. Here are the details on it

Do they have to watch the entire video to get the phone to ring? What if they get a few seconds into it and then close it? Do they still get the phone call?
