[SGVLUG] Anyone seen a similar Phone+Email scam?

[Douglas Vargas]

I've always wanted to do that too, maybe set up a tts thing...not for tricking telemarketers though, but just because playing zork over the phone would be so incredibly awesome :p

I often fantasize about implementing an IVR version of Zork on
Asterisk just to tarpit telemarketers and the like.  Alas, I have been
living without a land line for a long time now and don't really see a
need for one any more.
