I used to think this. I have exploits that I can make a ton of money off of (exploiting phone systems). The only issue is that in order to generate money, I need to do illegal things. To sell these exploits, I need to find a criminal buyer. It's like noticing that you can rob people by hacking their smart-lock. It's hard to out-pay criminal activity.
In this case, the attacker would be committing fraud by repeatedly causing calls. But they can probably get away with it. They'll just get cut off. Especially with premium ($0.50+) numbers from more exotic locales - it's too hard to chase people down and prove it. Heck, a US company I advised for lost $90K to a guy in Quebec and it was too hard to go bother going after him. We thought about it for about 30 minutes than just gave up.
