Which is better? 1 - Flood the numbers with as many calls as possible causing them to have to shut down the number 2 - Keep the line active, so that we can call them and mess with them - reverse into their machines etc…

If Jane Doe has a B.S. in Computer Science, has softwar…

Shutting down a number vs baiting?
