Field notes
The form asks for the sender's name, a friend's email, and a real or imagined fish name; it also lets the sender choose automatic or hands-on delivery and set the prank's duration. The site says it copies each message and the recipient's answers to the sender. Its stated safeguards include a per-address sending limit, a one-click opt-out, and a ban on sender names containing official-sounding terms such as “police,” “tax,” or “government.”
