Actually, Yes. I fell for a common Internet Prank.
Have you heard of a "Screamer"? It tells you to like find a Subliminal Message in a song backwards. Then right when you're focused and your ear is crammed to the speaker, A scary image with a loud startling scream scares the crap out of you.
The only time I was "scared" was back when I used to play Runescape and somebody was on my account and I was getting hacked.
Other then that I don't really get scared on the interenet.
My mom fell for one of those look closesly till you see the image, then a ghost pops out and you and the speakers scream... she dropped my brother (he was only 2 at the time) =P
Yes, I was told to look for some Horses that were camoflauged in the Background, I came so close to the screen and then all of a Sudden, the Screamer Pop Out!
I've been scared of those uh...stare at this REALLLLLLLLLLY closely and see if you can find the difference!...things. :x
I fall for them every time, I almost faint every single time, and they scare me .o.
If you also meant shocked by the internets, yeah, I've been shocked, but really, you learn what obviously not to click really quickly afterwards...xD
One new twist on the old screamer trick is hiding the scream in a video...eg. you think you're gonna be watching something completely different and them the scream appears mid video
Haha, when I was little, the "shocker" images... well, they didn't scare me but they disturbed me greatly. :C Now I don't bat an eyelash when I scroll past them. Oh, internet, how you've desensitized me.
I was kinda scared once when this creepy guy from PC wouldn't stop bothering me. :> We lived in the same city and it seemed like he was trying to figure out where I lived. I'm glad he's disappeared~
Once I fall in the hidden song-screamer trick. Sigh. Other thing I remember is when one of my friends got a creepy letter- it wasn't a chain, it was like a love letter or something written in a amazingly scaring way. It was... weird.
Well, I got scared when I was at a forum and suddenly my anti-virus started warning me that a virus had infected my PC, I tried to keep accepting the "deletion" of the virus, but it still kept appearing again and again. So, at the moment of panic, I did the worst, I turned off the PC, and when I rebooted, Windows never loaded again.
no I have never gotten scared on the internet. Not even with those chain letters that your going to die or get raped if you don't pass it on to the next person. Or even one of those things that if you click it some ugly person comes up
The first time was when my friend showed me a color blind test. It was a fake one. It showed 3 numbers and then it showed 2 oval shaped that looked like zeros. My friend knew the thing about the test and he said it looked like a 10. After I entered it, a VERY scary picture of an old lady popped up and it made a LOUD scream. I felt my heart stop for a second.
The second time is by a chain mail that said, "Send this in 4 Hours or your Mother will die." Or something like that.
I... can't remember. Probably that one time where I downloaded something I shouldn't have, and it screwed up the computer. It wasn't *that* bad, but it was still like "OH NOES MY COMPUTER!! ;__; *emo*"
I haven't seen those screaming images much, actually. I did see the commercial with the car and then the guy pops out. It sure shocked me. xD
The sheer level of common-sense-lacking scares me. XD;;; That and some of the more obsessive stalkers I talk to, but most of them just amuse me because they are so obvious and pathetic. <3
