Anti Albero Bloggers And Their New Phone Game

Folks, I have received numerous messages/calls today from people allegedly returning my phone call.

It turns out, I never called them, yet they all insisted my cell number was on their Caller ID. After doing a little research I came to learn of a stupid program T-Mobile has where someone can play that game. In fact, one of the programs is called "Jail Break" and people can make it look like someone is calling them, when they're not.

In all cases today there was a phone message left instead of them actually getting a hold of the person called.

I have contacted Verizon and T-Mobile and they are investigating this and taking it very seriously. My apologies to any of you receiving such childish messages and I'm sure you know who's playing these games. JT, JR, TM, BB, I just wonder which one of them is with T-Mobile. We'll find out soon enough.

I think you will find Iphones also have apps to change the phone number displayed

Soon, spoofing the caller ID will be a federal crime. Hiding it, however, will not be.

Just get a court order and you CAN get the names of the people that did the "hiding".

Jailbreaking is what you can actually do the iPhone OS 3.1.2 and below. This allows you to download programs denied usually by the iTunes store.

I think JT has gone too far. His website is full of hate for Joe.

Joe, as you may know, today war was declared on you and your supporters by General Fatton and his little "Whos". This is the green cartoon faction of the Dr. Suess empire. It is thought that this telephone maneuver is the opening attack of the conflict. Over the past week, Gen. Fatton has issued a series of video attacks on you and you hard-hitting blog. While this looked like a frontal assault on your very fine reporting, it was a discreet call to arms to his loyalists using the throbbing vein in his forehead to pound out a secretly coded message to his field commanders.The declared battlefield is the City of Salisbury from Fruitland to Delmar. The northern command is led by Major Tom McGoo and his wife Nurse Ratched. In the south, Colonel Billy Bob Hogg and his wife Petunia Pigg will be leading the charge. It is rumored however, that their headquarters has been foreclosed on and they will soon be using a mobile command post. On the front lines of Salisbury, Gen. Fatton has called up retired Coast Guard buoy(boy?)inspector, Lt. Cmdr. Robinson and newcomer Dr. Strangelove to assist and consult respectively. Today Gen. Fatton issued orders for open recruitment of like-minded morons to join up. Recruiting will occur on the outskirts of Whoville where our informants have told us that JR's YUDU has been working overtime making uniforms. It is also thought that Gen. Fatton has painted his Rascal scooter dull camouflage and will soon be disguised in order to attack you. Joe, please, if you see an extra- large boxwood or rhododendron moving in your direction, take cover!!! Must close this update now as Gen. Fatton has initiated a communications dragnet in my immediate area. Joe, be vigilant, the General and his ilk do not know how strong the SBY News army of support is, but you do.

Pretty weird these guys would take the time to go to these extremes.

Anon 9:32pm: In my opinion, your comment is worthy of a post. Joe has just acquired a new volunteer for his army, me. Believe it, there is strength in numbers, and I am actively recruiting. Keep up the good work, Joe. You are an asset to the community.

How can the grinch fight a war when he can't even get his fat rear end out of his chair?

What a joke.

For what it's worth (maybe nothing, maybe something), JR has posted on Facebook that he got rid of his iPhone and now has an Android. No, I have no other knowledge of his number, his account, or who his carrier is.

Anon 4:57 Probably didn't pay his bill and was cut off. Went with another carrier, easy to do since they all want business.
