You know those robocalls that every single phone in America has recieved about how your car warranty is about to expire? Which is, in fact, a scam?

Someone on Reddit social engineered one of the offending company's phone number and eventually Reddit-ers figured out the entire extention tree at the offending company. This led to a deluge of calls by pissed off folks, drowning the phone lines of Auto One Warranty Specialists with such creative offers as extended warranty coverage for the computers the company uses.

One of my coworkers just tried calling the number. Unsurprisingly, it's been disconnected.
