prank called
Dialed for mischief
Prank called is the past tense of prank call—to telephone someone as a joke, often with a fake identity, absurd questions, or attempts to provoke a reaction: We prank called the pizza place and ordered a hundred anchovy pizzas.
The practice peaked before caller ID made anonymity difficult.
