I periodically wonder how quickly this would end if the costs shifted to the telcos who currently see it as a profit center. Imagine if reporting a message got you an immediate $1 credit and they had to recover it from the network which originated the spam: how quickly would they be able to turn on egress filtering?

The fact that telcos are really party to these scams and for some reason aren't held accountable is amazing to me.

I think about that every time I just a call with a forged number. I remember when VoIP was coming on the market and people were warning about spoofing but telco executives apparently just blew that off because it’d slow sales.
