After he was prank called for over 3 years he developed cancer and died. You can YouTube him to see the endless calls. But basically they kill him.

Your thoughts? 😚

You don't actually believe that prank calls cause cancer do you?

When I search on YouTube it seems a guy called Frank garrett is the one doing the calls not receiving them..
Unless it's a different Frank garrett then I'm confused..

a reply to: lavatrance Maybe you could expand on the details of the story a bit? Was he so wrought with bitterness fro the prank calls, the anger inside him manifested into illness? Sad, he could of changed his number if that's the case. Whatever it was may he RIP.

My thoughts?... I need a link.

the only way this can be proven that calls gave him cancer is to build a time machine to see if he gets it without prank calls.
sounds very slim chance phones calls gave him cancer.

The confusion here is did he RECEIVE or MAKE prank calls, description prank "called" is very loose. Anyway i cannot see how using the telephone one way or another can cause terminal illness, or there would be people dropping dead every were, sorry....

Pssst little secret friend...no one gets out of here alive. Lol

Excuse me...do you have Prince Albert in a can? Is your refrigerator running, is the streetlight in front of your house on?
Do these things still fool people?
Caller ID and changing his number could have been miraculous for this guy.

I think I've seen in other threads where you are rabidly anti medicine and believe Drs and hospitals kill people.
How can phone calls cause cancer? I'd really like to hear your explanation for that, along with some proof this happened to him and not just from some crank site.
My Mom had non Hodgkin's lymphoma and the only thing that saved her was early detection and chemo, plus radiation. How do you explain the Drs not killing her or making it worse, by "fiddling with it" like you described the tumor in another thread?
I think your opinion of medicine is almost paranoid to the point of being a danger to yourself, as in not seeking treatment for a serious condition.
Are you just going to walk it off if you get hit by a car? Or have a limb amputated in an accident?

I hope his real name wasn't Mr. Parker. Those Mj & Bj prank calls were hilarious.
