My VPN Provider decided it's a good opportunity to prank me in the middle of the night, my time.

Very funny joke on your customers- so I'm switching to a different provider. It's cuz obviously I don't have a sense of humor. Life is short and all that.

Useless internet day indeed.

How did they prank you, what did they do?

I'd rather not go into detail, but in short they sent an official email from their real noreply address, "signed" by their CEO, saying my data has been compromised.

"What Data?"... Click the link...

Just kidding, April Fools you stupid moron.

I replied that they've lost a customer.

They replied with a link to talk to their AI bot.

Yeah I have to agree with your reaction to this one.

I'm doing this next year, thanks for sharing. Especially the AI bot part, will have it part of the april fools page.

Is this the VPN you're talking about?

I wouldn't want to specify which VPN Provider it was, but I will say the fake in my case was not obvious, by layman standards nor by HN standards.

[bee_rider]

That seems like obvious enough of a fake.

Haha, we routed all your traffic through a server in Iran.

No more Google account for you. Gotcha!
