Help with prank
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if you could help me with ideas for a bit of a prank I'm planning on a guy at work. The basic premise is that I'm going to get him to call a number thinking he's calling someone back about an exciting opportunity, etc... but in actuality I'll give him a number for someone else.
I'm hoping you can help me with ideas of who to call. I want it to be somewhere that its immediately apparent from the moment they answer the call that its a wrong number, if it takes too long, then there's confusion and its not as funny. Pretty much any number is up for consideration, but, it has to look like a normal phone number (not 1300 style numbers, etc...), and it can't put a charge on the call since he'll likely be using the work phone.
I was thinking something either really embarrassing like an escort place or something, or even better, something a little scarier, where he'd feel more uncomfortable about having to deal with it, like the federal police or national security hotline or something.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Mr Lion
A very old one is to get the victim to call the zoo and ask for Mr Lion

Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Had a workshop manager ring a male prostitute's number we got out of the newspaper ads asking about a certain lubricant .. Nearly fell out of the chair laughing when he described the call later

Thanks for the replies
Thanks for the replies everyone, I like the STD clinic one. I want to try some numbers out first to see how they answer the phone, but, I want to avoid bothering the people too much - I'm already going to make someone prank ring them, its kind of a dick move to keep hassling them.

I used to work for a company
I used to work for a company that sold hand railing. One of the product was more aesthetically pleasing and was called 'Mega Ball".
One of the blokes was setup to call a brothel after their query about his mega balls.

Choose carefully
My mate at work got me with the zoo one so I though I would get him back. Sometime later I left him a message. The number was the gay and lesbian hotline. Problem was that it was an answering machine. He left my name and number. I got calls for the next few months checking I was ok. Never did that again!!

Depends on what you you do
Depends on what you you do for a job as well, Im a drafty and we got a work mate to call Langtrees asking about the "penetrations". Was hilarious watching his face turn bright red once he realised where he was calling!

I reckon I'm leaning to a church of Scientology information/recruitment line. Hopefully they'll call him back after he tries to end the call

My mum got me to ring a collegue and pretend I was from 92.9 and told him he'd won a prize and he had 30 minutes to get to the station (he worked 500m down the road). Worked a treat
