HOW TO Build Your Own “Telecrapper”

Tc2Kpic Are you tired of answering the phone only to find a telemarketer on the other end and wish you could make them as angry as you feel? Now you can build your own answering system that carries on a virtual conversation with the telemarketer and drives them nuts. The Telecrapper 2000 (TC2K) is a computerized system designed to both intercept incoming Telemarketing calls on the first ring, and then carry on a virtual conversation with the telemarketer. The site also features phone calls the device has carried out with telemarketers. Thanks Jay! Link.

    Just a tad ironic that the website gives you a pop-under, considering the subject matter. What’s even funnier is that the pop-under claims to have discovered spyware on my PC. I’m on a Mac and the browser info is readily available. Geez, it’s like they’re not even trying anymore…
