Now that I’ve accepted an offer for next summer, my buddies and I have decided we’re going to prank call some of the douches we talked to while trying to network from a non target. Need good ideas that will make these guys either so pissed off they cuss us out or freak out because they think they’re late on a deliverable lmao. Know someone you think deserves a call? PM me lol

Funny as hell lmfao but be careful
Go for it and def report back
When will banks stop taking people from non ivies? So depressing every time I read one of these posts.
Bro def got a shitty bonus
For the amount of hours I work and seeing some people being laid off or getting bagels, I am very thankful for the bonus I received this year.
This comment tells me you’re exactly the kind of person I would prank call
I really really want Smoke Frog's number
What a total badass you are! Prank calling takes balls!
What’s sadder:
a non target getting an IB role
or
a married man with kids who grew up as a trust fund baby is so bitter that he thinks some poor kid realizing the American dream is sad and depressing?
Why would a trust fund kid not enjoy life? Why would he get into ivies and work in IB? Your theory doesn’t make sense.
Agreed - seeing more and more brainlet posts by the day
This comment is pathetic but you're nothing if not consistent and pretentious, nobody can take that away from you.
Okay trumper. No way someone so thin skinned cracked into finance.
Unfortunately the non-ivy kids outnumber the ivy kids on here lmao. On a more serious note, a lot of students at ivies don't find ib to be attractive or prestigious enough as an industry anymore. I see more state school kids glorifying it now while the people at ivies want to do VC, startups, impact investing, quant etc
Literally touch grass you virgin
Did you get weekend work or something?
he just knows he'll be one of those getting the prank call
Repeatedly calling as a disgruntled food delivery person, trying to deliver an order. Endless possibilities...
This is the way, especially on a Wed or Thurs evening when they're trying to work
"youl oldel is leady sil, I'm hele at the tall shiny skysclapel. Please come fol youl oldel sil, the gualds don't let me entel"
Did this to one guy who was an insecure douche. Recommend using an alternative phone number and potentially a voice changer.
Lmfao. Two people come to mind but they are alum at my MBA program. And one did help out a first year friend quite a bit.
Ngl this is tempting but would rather not have randos bothering alum as much as I may not like but with one of them, I enjoy speaking with their colleagues who are also alum at my program. The other one is tempting to send over to you...
Feed me
Gonna pass but have fun lol.
If you can figure out who they report to, anything is possible.
Pose as a Partner. Tell them you spoke to their Associate or MD and were referred to them about a huge turnaround on some complex CIM slides. Come up with details to make it believable, but make it confusing enough to overwhelm them. Freak out about how such a communication breakdown could even happen, have a melt down about the whole deal coming apart if they don’t get this done. Threaten them with their next year’s bonuses or jobs.
Or touch grass and move on.
Be careful with this because ironically one of my friends did this a year ago - texted a VP's corporate phone NSFW pictures using a texting app with built in VPN. He did this 10 times over the course of a week with different numbers. VP filed a complaint with his bank, bank compliance / IT traced the mobile device IP and filed a police report.
Cops showed up at my friend's door a few days later (not sure how they got the address) and gave him a warning. Don't ask me how the cops found his name / address, I think Apple / texting apps have to comply if there's cops involved.
If banks can catch money laundering activity buried under 3 accounts in the Bermudas, they can definitely find a kid doing prank calls. Not worth risking your career to get a chuckle. If he works at a small firm however... go nuts
Well they still haven't found my money laundering activities buried under 3 accounts in the Bermudas so they're not that good are they
I would have said "if banks can catch that you didn't eat 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees alone in Amsterdam, they can definitely find a kid doing prank calls".
Use one of those websites that lets you make two people call each other
This thread absolutely made my day. Obviously be careful and don’t threaten anyone, but please report back with any results.

Yo DM me I've got a number for you to call
So how do you plan to prank them? Technically I think this is illegal lol so be careful af (altho this is funny af), I don't wanna spoil everyone's fun but you have ntg to gain from doing this
Have you never prank called someone before. 😹
Illegal to prank call someone hahaha
let this incoming prospect cook
also DM me, I'll share DJSol's number
this will end well
Perhaps the meanest thing you could do is pretend to be a head hunter and call the bankers who were layed off.
Edit: excuse the repeat comments…wso glitch

Sorry, didn't catch you the first time, could you repeat your suggestion?
I would subscribe to one of those services to where you can set your own phone number and call anyone. Then, set your phone number to the banks toll free or HR number. When you call the banker, tell them that their role has been made redundant and their services are no longer needed and they have been terminated as of today. They will get 4 weeks severance with their last check mailed to their address.
Make sure to use *67 or a VPN😂😂
Play jingle bells by Barbara Streisand for about two weeks every time they pick up. Make sure you use VOIP numbers and rotate area codes around where they are originally from and based out of now.
Added bonus points for calling them from a spoofed number from their bank. Would be particularly great if you could spoof a number from their office specifically ensuring they’d have to pick up each time.
Do it. Record too.
I'd echo the comment above, totally fine but BE CAREFUL. There are services that will get you a random phone number for a week and you can pay like $5 a month after that for it, and you can change numbers every month too. I'd use that though a burner would be even safer. Sounds hilarious though, do report back with any stories haha
Lmaoooo. put their phone number into TellAPartner. Will send them a text telling them they have Chlamydia or whatever u want.
Will for sure ruin their week.
