Guy uses looped audio response to drive telemarketers nuts

A little while ago I put together a little application on our phone system so that when a telemarketer calls in, I can transfer them to this extension and annoy the hell out of them. I thought about it a bit more and decided to make it a little more interesting, so I can get them to hold on the line as long as possible. Today I recorded a bunch of different voices sounding really interested in what a telemarketer would be offering. Have a listen (...) Once I gather enough calls, i'm gong to setup a little podcast of all the best calls from a fortnightly period. Enjoy!Link to page with MP3 audio of a simulated interaction between a faux telemarketer and an audiolooped pretend-dude. I can't wait to try this out at home! (thanks, Denis Drye)
Reader comment: Michael Natale says,
Funny idea that would work, but I don't think the call is real. That Indian accent sounds put on to me. [Ed. note: Right-o, it's totally fake.] These are a few years old but absolutely genuine: Link
