Won't he just have blocked his number after the first scene of The Two Gentlemen of Verona?

So long as it doesn't escalate into murder most foul.

I suspect the scammer is young and in his salad days. And, the victim, having decided to send every play has sworn...to grim necessity.

At a previous company our automated text service looped.

Some bloke got the same text over 5000 times before it was stopped.

His phone company said they couldn't delete them before they' been delivered to his phone and our sending service couldn't recall them.

He seemed to have a choice of changing phone number or receiving messages until his phone memory was full and then deleting them manually and waiting for the next batch to arrive.

He wasn't a happy chap.

Cost my company nearly £1500 to send the texts too...

Joseph said. "If nothing else I'm sharing a little bit of culture with someone who probably doesn't have much experience of it. I'm not a literary student, and I'm not an avid fan of Shakespeare but I've got a new appreciation you could say -- especially for the long ones."

Brilliant. Although surely the recipient could and should just blacklist that number?

Probably decided the play's the thing, wherein to catch his conscience...

Yeah, I imagine that's happened
Course, the guy could pass round the scammer's number and [i]everyone[/i] could text him. Verily, his phone would runneth over, then

(I've always liked "tell me, where is fancy bread?" in a supermarket 😳 )
