Star-Ledger Story on Chat Line Line "Bombing"
The Star-Ledger: False 'Help me!' is latest plague from phone chat
"...she was playing a game called "bombing" that she claimed is popular on the chat line, which can be accessed through dozens of local phone numbers...
...Callers ring police with fake emergencies, then watch how many police show up. In some cases, they make the ruse appear more authentic by using technologies to fool caller-ID systems and mimic the phone numbers of their victims."
My hope is that this kind of blatant abuse of our emergency phone systems will not be tolerated and the people who are responsible for such abuse are held directly accountable for their actions.
