Maybe this is the new Rachel/Stacy Robocaller scam possibly targeted
at business.

My wife mentioned that she had been getting Rachel calls at home just
this morning and I thought it would be neat to create a robo dialer
honeypot that would put them into voice menu hell or at least tie them
up a few more seconds while their system tries to find a human on
their end to start the pitch.

Hmm, I wonder if the Raspberry Pi can run asterisk?

Score!   www.raspberry-asterisk.org

Which included a link to a nifty watch dog for the pi:
