At this point Matt called my fake number. I answered, pretending to be Cat Facts customer service. I "looked up" his account, and said it turns out there's a problem with his account, we don't have his credit card number on file.

Then, I called Matt from my own phone number, and I told him that I (Hadi) had been signed up for Cat Facts. I was "getting spammed," and the service said that Matt's phone had referred me. I acted pretty upset.

He said he'd been screwed by it too, and that it was some spammy thing, probably his phone address book was compromised, and he blamed it on his Blackberry. (Who still has a Blackberry?!)

He said it was terrible and apologized profusely for getting me stuck with this awful service. After he apologized to my morbid satisfaction, I finally asked "it never crossed your mind one of your friends is pranking you?"

Matt finally realized it was a prank and groaned a loud, long groan. I told him I loved him and he was a great sport.
