Developer unveils CallSitter bot that wastes scammers' time
Original: Show HN: CallSitter – bot that answers my calls and wastes scammers' time
A developer has released CallSitter, an open-source tool that automatically answers phone calls and keeps phone scammers occupied, sharing it with the Hacker News community. The project code is publicly available on GitHub. Reaction so far is limited but positive, with users drawn to the idea of turning the tables on unwanted spam and robocalls instead of simply blocking them.
Why now: Frustration with scam and spam calls is widespread, so a tool that fights back attracts attention.
