This guy did what we all wish we could do. He defeats his endless spam calls once and for all.

On average, how many spam calls do you get a day? One? Five? Ten? It's gotten completely out of hand. Sometimes your phone gives you a heads-up with the blessed words "Potential Spam," but more often than not, the scammers get slick and spoof numbers with your area code so you think it's someone local. The most we can usually do is block and ignore, but like cockroaches, they keep coming back.

That was this guy's life for an entire year until he finally had enough and snapped. Armed with his phone, a mute button, and the will of a thousand angry call recipients, he took matters into his own hands and spammed his own spam caller 266 times in under 35 minutes. Now that's just pure dedication. But it paid off in the end because he was finally met with the final boss of telemarketers who had no problem breaking script. You won't believe what he had to say to him.
