Every carrier already knows who the spammers/scammers are based on activity...normal phones do not redial within 2 seconds of an ended call. The carriers are complicit in the scam and they need to be held to account with fines for allowing it.
The scammers use the same services as telemarketers. They don’t register consumer numbers; they pose as international call centers with pools of numbers.
Since this is the type of contract that is the most profitable to the carriers, they only dig as deep as they’re legally required to dig into these customers’ business practices. Then they hide behind “I thought they were just another of the many legitimate telemarketers that we service!” excuse.
