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:
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!"
