A phone pranking app called Ownage Pranks is facilitating robocalls to people across the United States (and Canada) that leave threatening voicemails about their derogatory anti-Donald Trump posts, Gizmodo reports.
It was kind of threatening, Vanderbrook told Gizmodo. I was dumbfounded at first and then creeped out. Then I was angry and thats when I decided to share it.
In the call, a mans voice tells Vanderbrook, Weve been monitoring some of your posts and it does seem that youve been making some rather negative comments about President Trump.

When you sign up for account, they ask for your number and give you option to make it public or only share with people you want or with no one at all.

(1,828 posts)Threats on FB Messenger. One individual threatened to cut the throats of my children. I reported them to FB and blocked them. Don't know what happened, it was a few years ago.

(1,896 posts)Don't like it? O.K. then, I guess I'll have to double up on my posts about Trump. A robo-call never hurt anyone. You're dealing with people who worship words, not action. Trump's only skill is saying things that sway the weak minded. When you think about it, he's not all that good at it, there's just a lot of gullible people. Call away dumbphucks, it doesn't make you any smarter and it doesn't make Trump any better at being president.
