Regulators simply need to either forbid paying out the tolls or forbid collecting fraudulent tolls from users. These are scams. The carriers try to hide behind old agreements that state all calls, fraudulent or not must be paid. If they want to keep these agreements they can just pay for them themselves. If not, they should change them. The end users aren’t in a position to enforce this so regulatory pressure is clearly required.
