A coworker's wife was almost taken for several thousand dollars by a phone scammer. She asked him at the last minute and he told her to call it off. He was pretty upset that they'd tried to exploit his wife, though. He talked to the police, but they weren't much help.
So he set his cell phone to autodial their number. For the next three days. His number is unlisted, so they couldn't block him without blocking all incoming calls, which was essential to whatever scam they were trying to run. He just tied up their whole operation.
His phone sat there on his desk ringing quietly over and over all day. Every now and then they'd pick up and scream at him.
