You are being tracked!

[Spin dryer]

You are probably aware that it's been possible for a few years now to track mobile phones. Even individuals have been able to do this, but it's been okay until now because you would receive regular warning texts in the unlikely event that someone tracked you.

All that has now changed. I was horrified today to come across the following website.

Mobile phone tracking

Type in United Kingdom in the country box. Then type 44 for the country code and then your mobile number. Try it and you will see exactly where your phone is located. Amazing, but truly disturbing.

BRILLIANT I am so glad you found this website because some one nicked my phone yesterday.

I managed to satelite track it and found the culprit in a pub garden nearby

[Cruella]

[Lucy Locket]

[Gentabout]

Very, very funny.

However, just a quick note to those that have entered their mobile number. Your mobile phone is now in the database of an organisation that sells mobile number lists so that companies can spam you with texts and give you unsolicited sales calls.

Nice one. Thanks for that.

Hence why I stuck in 0123456....

Yeah, me too. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to put their own number in...! Durr...!

[Gav]

Yeah, me too. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to put their own number in...! Durr...!

I thought that until I sent it to a few people who did exactly that! The amazing thing was that they admitted to it, of course no-one one here would be silly enough to use their own number, would they?

[Trousers]

Durr...!

I worked for a company called Durr!

Kids loved it!

[Tiggerbabe]

of course no-one one here would be silly enough to use their own number, would they?

I wouldn't have thought so, unless you have lost your phone or it's been stolen, in which case it's worth a shot

[Barry Shnikov]

What would make it really useful is if it was accurate enough to tell me which room of my flat the phone is in...

Hmmm. They can't spell 'Contact', and none of the areas that appear to be designed as hyperlinks actually work.

Phishing!!!

[Twirly]

And if it's down the back of the sofa or the armchair...

Is that a company for only very, ahem, special people like you Trousers?

[WittyBird]

Yeah, me too. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to put their own number in...! Durr...!

Nah - I put yours in cos I wanted to know where u were.

[Double Trouble]

Nah - I put yours in cos I wanted to know where u were.

D'oh...! You found me out.

If you look carefully, you can see a brass monkey in the background, crying his eye's out.
