> One of the issues we have in the US is that telecoms charge the recipient for these calls, not the originator. In some (many? most?) other countries that's reversed and such activities are much less prevalent. Here in Australia the caller pays, and I still get daily spam calls. Nearly always from Indian call centres using VOIP services (can tell by the unique/different audio quality), or showing what I assume are spoofed CIDs (Zimbabwe, etc). We have a “Do Not Call” register[0] run by the Government that’s (supposed to) give major fines if the company ignores it, but it doesn’t seem to bother these guys, I guess because they’re overseas anyway.
