I decided to mess with Alienware's techs cause I was bored and they told me that, not sure if it's a scare tactic or if they are serious but uh can I get in trouble for that?

 

 

 

Umar K.: Hi, my name is Umar K.. How may I help you?

 

Amanda: Hi, asl

 

Umar K.: Hello Amanda, how may I help you today?

 

Amanda: Just looking to chat :)

 

Amanda: asl?

 

Umar K.: In accordance with Internet Privacy and Harassment Act, I am to inform you that youre IP, location and ISP are being monitored and logged. This chat is recorded and forwarded to your ISPs anti-spam department. You will be receiving a notice from your ISP concerning your connection to this chat room detailing the contents of this chat. Your IP is also flagged to be used in any further investigations and can be sent to your local homeland security office.

I doubt it.

 

 

 

If thats harrassment, then imagine how often that happens.

its a scare tactic

I think we can safely say you are not rex enough for tech support.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But why mess with a tech support line that you might actually need to use? Read The Boy Who Cried Wolf or something.

Thats not harrassment.... :shock:

Aww, Umar likes Amanda!

You have nothing to worry about. Tech support lines have told me that I was reported to my local authorities, and nothing every actually happened. The most they would do is ban you from their tech support line.

You're going to jail. Have fun.

I'm ok with Tech Support lines. But 911 and Suicide lines are different. One's a crime and the other is just horrible to prank.

 

 

 

But, it's a scare tactic. Don't worry.

I suppose this happens a lot, don't worry. But just in case, I would advice you to stop abusing this service. In addition, can you imagine anyone who really wants to has a job that consists of answering questions from people who are mad at your company? Can you imagine any of those workers looking forward to going to work? Close to everyone having this job has it because no other jobs were available. They are having a crappy job for your pleasure! Leave the proletarians alone!

Hahahaha, that's funny. Of course it's just a scare tactic, seems as though you didn't break any laws at all.

Unless you send countless spam messages in the chat, nothing will happen. You can go to any chat for any help, and just waste their time, nothing will happen. Majority of the time a lot of people like to play along as a break form actually working.

 

 

 

But then again that jail cell is getting empty...

What did you expect to happen...

 

You mess with people, there are repercussions.

im pretty sure the pranks would be the most funny part of their job

You're going to jail. Have fun.

 

 

 

Remember not to pick up the soap! :twss:

 

 

 

I don't think you'll get in too much trouble. I mean, at the most you'll probably get a notice from your ISP as they stated. It's not too serious.. It's not like you threatened to blow up their servers with C4s or anything.

Good luck, prank callers don't do well in prison :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

On a more serious note, how were you harassing anyway? I don't get it. What's asl? And were you reported because you just wanted to chat?

ASL is chat speak for "age/sex (as in gender)/location".

oh, and here i always wrote 19/yes please/wisconsin.

 

 

 

weird. and this won't get you anything, it's just a scare tactic.

Don't drop the soap... (unless you like that sort of thing.)

 

 

 

 

 

OT: I don't think any legal action could result from it. They have the right to refuse to service you but I bet they were just trying to scare you so they could move onto the next person. It being forwarded into the local homeland security sounds just like if someone was planing a terrorist plot over the phone.

You're going to Guantanamo bay and getting waterboarded, if there's one thing the FBI and the CIA hate it's people harassing helplines :|

 

 

 

Don't drop anything, especially the soa. Your friendly prison male rapist will take any chance he gets.........

Don't drop anything, especially the salt. Your friendly prison male rapist will take any chance he gets.........

 

 

 

I agree, don't drop the salt. [cabbage]'s bad luck.

Throwing it over your left shoulder is a much better idea. It's supposed to be good luck, and you might blind Bubba as he stalks his prey.

Are you kidding me?

 

No, duh.

Well now that I understand it better..

 

 

 

I really think you shouldn't have done that in the first place. If your going to mess with anyone on the phone, mess with your friends or phone sex hotlines. But tech support has a pretty important job and doesn't need bored people logging on for the hell of it.

 

 

 

As for punishment, you won't get very much. at the very most, a letter from your ISP. But the department of homeland security and the FBI have more important things to worry about that prank callers. Unless it's an important government building or something...

a very stupid thing to do but i doubt anything will happen.
