Thus sprang forth the Spaminator! The Spaminator is
something I threw
together in about 10 minutes. What the Spaminator does is call the
offendor's number, wait for the voicemail to answer, dial a digit to cut
thru the outgoing message, then it starts singing simple tunes by playing
"spam" in different notes. I recorded a "spam" scale with my own
voice.
Basically I sang "spam" starting from A and going to G.
Don't forget to dial *67 or whatever the sequence is in your area to
disable the caller ID from being passed on to the recipient. If not,
they may have proof of your harrassing phone calls (and I'm sure such
slime would resort to it...)

Be careful; *67 doesn't stop "caller ID"
if the number being called
is a 1-800 number. (Actually, it's not "caller ID" if it's a 1-800
call, it's something quite different. It's more akin to the recipient
of a collect call getting to know the number the call was made from.)

T-1 trunks don't pass along ANI, and certainly not Caller ID (Caller ID is
technically different from ANI [automatic number identification] but the
concept is the same). They'd have to really know what they were doing
first of all, and second of all they'd have to know the right people to be
able to trace the call. Even then, there's not much they can do without
admitting that they are breaking several laws themselves for their
egregious spamming practices. I only hope that they reveal themselves so
I can really do some damage.
