Young star Justin Bieber has been threatened with legal action by two victims of an online phone prank. According to reports the the star posted a phone number with a few digits missing on Twitter. He then proceeded to tell his fans to give him a call.

It looks like the joke has backfired because two Texas residents have reportedly furious with the singer. After he posted the telephone number, they were treated to an influx of calls from dedicated Bieber fans hoping to get to talk to the star. It has been reported that they were met with over one thousand calls.

TMZ have reported that the the two people have been identified as a woman called Dilcie and a man called Kent.  The pair have stated that his actions were “reckless” a lawyer for the two has stated that they are seeking compensation as a result of the distress they have been caused.

There have been some suggestions as to how Bieber could compensate the pair.  Suggestions have included, financial payment, tickets to see him in concert and an endorsement of an online project that Ken is currently working on.

Nothing has been decided as of yet. Justin has recently released his brand new single 'Boyfriend' which caused iTunes to crash on the day of its release. He is currently working on his new album entitled 'Believe'.
