PhoneTrace.org 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~~.

PhoneTrace.org was a bait-and-switch [[shock site]] created in 2005 that pretended to trace any cell phone.

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

The website tricked the user into entering their phone number and state, before interacting with a "Trace it now" link. It would then take the viewer to a fake GPS tracker, which is actually a [[Flash]] [[animation]]. A fake satellite image will also 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 "[[Wikipedia:You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)|You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)]]" by [[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive (band)|Dead or Alive]] plays as the background music. After a few seconds, the webpage takes user back to the main page.

~~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 video clip of [[Wikipedia:Never Gonna Give You Up|Never Gonna Give You Up]] by [[Wikipedia:Rick Astley|Rick Astley]]<ref>https://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.

~~== History ==~~

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.

An alternate safe-for-work version of the site exists as well, located at "satellite-gps-locator.com", where the shocking content is replaced with a shirtless man in the mud, accompanied with banjo music in the background. The image was replaced with a photo of two people kissing in the past.
