When I was at VT, a buddy on our dorm hall decided to prank his roommate...


Right before winter break, the prankster created a spoof email to look like it came from a VT network admin, saying that the "victim" was known to have illegally-downloaded content on his computer and he had a finite time to remove all of the content, or he would be banned from the VT network and his hardware would be confiscated. The R.A. was in on it, so before the "victim" got back from winter break, he/someone else went into the room and took out the guy's computer, so when he came back, it seemed like the school had confiscated his stuff as threatened. I can't remember if he actually fell for it, or if he was suspicious all along, but it was funny.

These days, someone would probably get expelled for something like that.
