Caller uses technology to terrorize the 'other' Bill Clinton

Associated Press

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A man who shares the name of Arkansas' most famous native son has endured many pranks, but none as scary as this one.

Bill Clinton of North Little Rock, who is not related to the former president and Arkansas governor of the same name, was the victim of a dangerous prank late last month when another person used a computer to hack into a caller-ID system and hijack Clinton's home number.

After hacking into a computer system in a process called "caller-ID spoofing," the as-yet unidentified caller made several calls to Clinton's home Jan. 29, telling Clinton's son he was going to disturb all the neighbors with calls that would appear to come from Clinton.

The prankster then called police to make it look like it was Clinton calling, said he had a gun to someone's head and hung up. That caused armed officers to besiege Clinton's home.
