Caner Dreams

The telecrapper 2k is a great item I just wish it was more refined, but this is nerdy, d.y.i. tech at it's best, lumps and all. The TC2K attaches to a modem that is caller id aware or a separate caller id device which is attached to your computer. You give it a list of numbers you don't want to answer. Sort of your own reverse do not call list. When the TC2K recognizes one these numbers from your list it picks up on the first ring and now the party starts. The TC2K will play either the same or a list of sound files which will be played back at the telemarketer starting a virtual conversation with them. It will wait for silence on the line before playing each sound file to further create the illusion of a real conversation, albeit completely surreal. It will so this until said telemarketer gets upset and finally hangs up. I just wish you there was a manual trigger so you could check your caller id and then determine if the TC2K goes into action.

Check out the hilarious sample conversations recorded by the creator of the TC2K.
