I can't see how they can prosper either by getting most of the world mad at them. I guess they're playing the odds that if they can snag one person in 100,000 calls, it's a good day.
If the phone company would charge these guys for each call at some long-distance rates like they used to do, that would cut things down appreciably. It's a pity that these guys can make a million calls a day to all over the country or even the world, and probably pay less than I would for a single call from Phoenix to the east coast. Secondly, the phone company allows them to spoof their phone numbers so you can't trace the call to anyone. Hey, I'm sure they would try anyway, but the phone companies need to put some basic protection in place to protect against this. The same thing with "cramming". They shouldn't be allowed to have a third party charge something to your phone bill without you giving permission first.
