    I have been having good results with the $2/month Jolly Roger Telephone service. It's a third party voicemail service, but with strong anti-robocall filters. If it thinks the caller is a robo caller, it has a robot answer the phone and act like someone who is interested in the product, but who never orders it. Some of the more amusing interactions between the Jolly Roger robots and telemarketers or scammers are on their web page.

    In addition to Jolly Roger, I also use an app which directly sends people not in my contact list to voicemail. Jolly Roger, after verifying the caller is a human, emails me a mp3 file with their message. They also, for my amusement, email me any interactions phone robospammers have with their robots.

    (I have no relationship with Jolly Roger except as a happy customer)

    There was an article on Slashdot back in 2016 about a bot called the Jolly Roger Telephone Company that would do just this.

    With a little voice recognition we could turn this into a killer app.

    more than that, there's actual services out there that the whole point is a bot impersonating a person. For example: https://jollyrogertelephone.co...

    This service is essentially illegal in California now, unless I'm mistaken.

    Why not then employ stronger tactics against them... like a broadside?

    Just this week I had such a redirect & popup (thanks to a compromised WordPress site I was visiting), noted the # and set it along with a screenshot. A couple of hours later the phone # was no longer picking up as clearly they realized they weren't going to get any more legit calls in through it.

    There is an app for that.
