So I just sign up for $60, collect a bunch of calls and then report them all a spam, earning me a guaranteed $1000 from the phone company?

Please see my second point above, particularly the 2nd 'graph.

If you're acting fraudulently and at scale, there will likely be consequences.

If this happens occasionally, it's a feature of the system, and your reports effectively become a super-opt-out.

And if perhaps the problem does become sufficiently widespread, I'd be interested in seeing how you'd address it given one constraint: operating within the bonding/surety system I've suggested. And that the State of California and others have already enacted in some form.
