     @purplepadma @pseudonym A while back I'd play games with spam phone callers and drive them nuts until they hung up. I enjoyed it, but lost the taste and time for it.

     @WarnerCrocker @pseudonym My dad has been doing this himself to scammers for a while now - pretending to be bumbling and confused about technology. He’s an academic in computer science and maths for computing. I personally feel like there are more productive ways he could spend his time, but he seems to enjoy it.
