Spamnesty is a way to waste spammers' time. If you get a spam email, simply forward it to sp@mnesty.com , and Spamnesty will strip your email address, pretend it's a real person and reply to the email. Just remember to strip out any personal information from the body of the email, as it will be used so the reply looks more legitimate.

That way, the spammer will start talking to a bot, and hopefully waste some time there instead of spending it on a real victim. Meanwhile, Spamnesty will send you an email with a link to the conversation, so you can watch it unfold live!

I know a guy who runs a Liquidation Company, he built an IVR just for this purpose. It basically sends solicitation phone calls into a never ending loop.

FCC should offer that. You get a robo-call saying press 1 to speak with a representative, you press 1 and conference the FCC, let them handle it.

My grandmother was quite hard of hearing, which was wonderful in dealing with spam calls. She could hear just enough to keep telemarketers hopeful that their message was getting through, and then she would ask them to start over. You could feel their frustration, and it was good.
