Guess what? Strangers lie...

Well well well! It seems that I, NMRNOMG and The Great Boberic *tips hat*, are part of Omegle history. A small part though it may be...

If you go onto Omegle today you'll see a new message alongside the usual 'You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!'

Yes indeed, In fact you'll get this message too:

'Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label 'Stranger:'. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.'

I'm sure we weren't the only ones to do this but here is our effort:

You: This is Paul from Omegle. We have received multiple complaints of inappropriate, lewd behaviour traced to your IP address. Your internet service provider will be alerted within the next 24 hours.

If you feel you have received this message in error, type 1 to connect to an Omegle representative.

Paul

Stranger: 1
You: Connecting....
You: Hello, My name is Tim from the Omegle customer service dept. How can I help you?
Stranger: Well i recieved a message saying you had multiple complaints of lewd or inappropriate behavior traced to this IP address and there has been nothing of the sort said i do not believe
You: Well I have some of your conversation logs in front of me and that doesn't seem to be the case
Stranger: I really have no idea why though i have not said anything wrong have i?
You: You've been calling other Omegle users abusive names
Stranger: Such as??
You: 'Cock muncher', 'Reptilian Scumbag from Xenon', 'Weasel Snatcher' as well as some others
Stranger: When were these used??
You: The 3 examples stated were recent, within 1 - 3 days. Are you aware of anyone else using your computer without your knowing?
Stranger: This computer belongs to me and only me. and this is the first time for me ever getting on this website from this computer. There must be some kind of mix up i dont use any sort of names. if i dont feel like talking to someone all i do is click out of the conversation. I dont know how this could be possible but this is the honest truth.
You: I'm sorry Sir/Madame but I can see that the IP you are using is the same used for the aforementioned conversations. Are you sure that your internet is secure?
Stranger: Im a almost positive that the internet is secured however our carrier was just switched so i dont know if that has anything to do with it but i am certian that nothing of that sort has ever come from my computer
You: Can I ask which carrier you use?
Stranger: well we had Fios but now switched to Frontier i believe but im not entirely sure on that one
Stranger: I assure you this must be a mistake however because i only learned about this website from a friend while i was over at his house only 2 days ago. and this is the first time i have been on this computer since then,
You: If that's the case then I may know what has happened. We have had a lot of trouble with Frontier, Mixing up the IP adresses. It may be that your IP has been mistaken for another using that carrier, I would suggest contacting your carrier and ask them if they are aware of anyone else using your IP address or any possible mix up. I cannot stop them being contacted within the next 24 hours but if you inform them of the situation and give them my email I'm sure we can have this sorted.
Stranger: I am sorry for any problem that has occured from this. we have had problems with our internet before that i have tried to call and not been able to get a hold of anyone within a couple of days.
Stranger: I am sorry for any problems that may have occured and i will try my best to resolve them
You: Ok, Under the irregular circumstances of this problem we won't take any action as of yet. What I suggest is to stay off Omegle until you have contacted your carrier and they have got in touch with us, Just to prevent any further problems. I would continue trying to get hold of your carrier and inform them of the situation.
Stranger: I will no longer return to Omegle even after this problem is solved just so no further problems will occur. Omegle was a great website and i made many friends but i do not believe i will be back. Thank you for your time
Stranger: Good Bye
You: Thank you for being so co-operative. I'm sure we will get this problem sorted soon, I regret this situation has occured and I urge you to return to Omegle one day in the future.
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
