1-347-514-7296 is a phone number that automates this. Add it to a conference call, and frustrate the caller with no additional work. http://Reddit.com/r/itslenny is the closest thing it has to an official site.

There's also this person https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzedMdx6QG4, counter call-flooding the scammers' phone lines.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of Lenny before. Jolly Roger is similar thing - creator gave a Ted talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXVJ4JQ3SUw
It just rang forever when I tried it...
Ah, apparently you need to be whitelisted, my bad. There’s more information in the Reddit link.
EDIT: Nope, apparently the person who runs it takes it down at night for some reason. Maybe to minimize people using it as a prank call?
You do have to get whitelisted though, last I checked. I was able to use it one time and now if I call it I get a message about whitelisting. Same for JollyRoger.
