Phone Hacking Technique 3: The Art of Fake Fingering

Also known as the "Fake Fingering Technique" or "F.F.T.", this is the most underhyped phone hacking technique of all time.

It's a simple yet effective technique that involves faking a phone call to a person in order to get what you want.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Fake a phone call to a person you want something from
  2. Use a fake accent and pretend to be a friend or family member
  3. Ask the person for something
  4. Pretend to be in a hurry and hang up the phone
  5. Wait for the person to call you back, eager to help
  6. Repeat the above steps until you get what you want

Example:

John wants to borrow money from Mike, but Mike is a tightwad. John uses the F.F.T. on Mike, faking a phone call from John's brother, who just got in a car accident.

Mike: "Brother, it's me, John! I need $100 for gas for the car."

Mike: "Oh, okay, bro. I'll send it over."

John: "Thanks, bro! You're the best."

John: "Oh, and by the way, can you also send over some more money for the car insurance?"

Mike: "Uh, sure thing, bro."

John: "Thanks, bro! You're a lifesaver."

Mike: "Just, uh, just be careful with that car, bro."

John: "Will do, bro! Thanks again!"

John hangs up, and Mike sends over the money.

John: "Mission accomplished!"
