<b>PhoneTrace.org</b> is a bait and switch [[shock site]] made in 2005, it pretends to be a website that can trace any phone. The bottom of the website also has text that allows the viewer to send it to their friends. | |||
The website requires the victim to enter their phone number and state, after the viewer clicks on "Trace it now" the website will take the viewer to a fake GPS tracker, which is actually a flash animation. A fake satellite image will appear and the animation will pretend to find the viewer's phone | |||
After a while, the same GIF from [[Meatspin]] will appear while the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6DwBnea750 2003 remix] of "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)]" by Dead or Alive plays in the background. After a few seconds, the webpage takes the viewer back to the main page. | |||
== History == | |||
In September 2013, the shocking content was removed and the result changed to a clip of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Never Gonna Give You Up] by Rick Astley<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqXPsWhgHSI</ref>. A few years later, the result changed to a low-quality, black-and-white image of a couple sitting in a bathtub accompanied by western music. The image currently remains. | |||
The GPS page was also remade in HTML5 since [[Adobe Flash Player]] has been discontinued and this site has also been at the bottom of every [[ShockSiteList.com]] page. | |||
==Satellite-GPS-Locator== | |||
A safe-for-work version of the site exists as well, located at '''satellite-gps-locator.com''', where the shock content is replaced with a shirtless man in the mud making a face, along with some banjo music. The image was replaced with a photo of two people kissing in the past. | |||
