English term or phrase: harp

Alongside our normal lives,
we all have online lives.
May I introduce my newest friend,
Tom Degroote.
Tom is on Facebook since 2010.
He has almost 700 ‘friends’.
Now including me.
He’s 35 and lives in Bruges.
That’s where he met Sophie.
Aren’t they adorable?
We sent him a ‘phishing’ mail,
from his ‘real’ bank
to confirm certain details.
Afterwards, all it takes is
one fake call to empty his account.
But I have other plans.
I’m not just going to take over
his bank account…
but his life.
Literally.
See you soon, Tom.
I am feeling really at home
in his shoes.
Time for a little test…
Let’s say hi to ‘Krikke’,
the boss of his favorite pub.
There’s Tom as a kid at home…
-Hey Krikke!
-Hi Tom!
-How are you?
-Good!
How will he react
when he sees ‘himself’ on Facebook?
Tom here.
Good afternoon sir,
sorry to bother you,
this is Jimmy
from the Harp hotel in London.
Uh, yes?
Yeah, we got your online reservation
for four rooms…
Excuse me, I didn’t…
I didn’t make a reservation.
A few days ago,
I found a beautiful antique *harp*.
Obviously, I didn’t pay for it.
That’s what friends are for…
Hello Mr. De Grotte.
-You’re back?
-Yeah.
OK, like that?
What’s that?
-Pardon?
-What’s that?
That’s your harp I just delivered.
-What?
-You just signed right here.
-Where's my signature?
-Here!
Yesterday, someone called from London
saying things had been ordered
on my Visa card.
Well, I just delivered this,
and you’ve signed for it.
But I didn’t sign anything!
-Are you joking?
-No.
What did that man look like?
It was you.
Yeah right, it was you…
I wasn’t here.
Take it back, I didn’t order it.
I can’t take it back.
What?
I’ll call the police!
-Wait, was this him?
