Thrilling Marketing Prank Hijacks Man’s Life

DuvalGuillaume, known for its stellar stunt marketing work, is out a video case study for Belgium-based Safe Internet Banking that pranks an unsuspecting guy by (literally, it seems) hijacking his life using details from his online personas.

By trolling his social media profiles, activities, friends and other information along with sending him a phishing email, the poor guy ends up getting punked by hotel reservations he didn’t make and a harp he didin’t order.

The message, of course, is never ever share your personal financial information with anyone at any time.
