Yeah, I watched that episode a couples of days ago, its insane what people will believe from a random phone call and how quickly it can escalate.

Its crazy how many people believe you when you give them a phone call.

yep it would be interesting just to see what you can make people do but I think for the most part people are naturally very trusting so it can be fairly easy to take advantage of them especially if there in a stressful situation.

I wonder if itāll ever catch up with him or if people will become more aware of it, probably why he switches up targets a lot. Could also be copy cat pranksters at this point though.
From the story it sounded like he was careful about his identity so i doubt they will unless he fucks up. Its beyond easy to generate a random phone number that you can use for next to nothing in price.
I wouldnt be surprised though its a fucked up prank. If you have a prank then they should be able to back out at any point but this crosses some kind of line
Just gotta know what keywords to use =P

Yep, if I remember from the story correctly he had multiple throwaway skype accounts that he used for this.
yep some people just like to see the world burn and just fuck with people, Iād doubt there are many that would even take it this far.
lol yep Google Fu
Common sense should apply.
But that guy is causing more trouble than just some smashed windows. If word spreads people might ignore legit calls about emergencies (lets say, a place nearby has a gas leak and police warns other companies close to that building via phone cause itās faster than sending a patrol car around).

The thing is no emergency service will ever do this and people should be suspicious about these types of calls and always act on the side of caution. Same reason why you shouldnāt instantly believe calls you get from your bank. The article hits on this at the end saying in future they just exit the building and call the authorities on 911 which is the rational thing to do. There are generally much better ways to warn people than over the phone anyway such as dispatching offices, loud speakers or in more severe instances using the EAS system.

Makes sense but in emergency situations - even if thereās no threat - people donāt always think rationally. Hence the smashed windows. And people might also think āIf I donāt do this and something happens Iāll get firedā.
But yeah, keep calm and practice common sense.
