Re: Rampant in the US
Additionally, the telco on the receiving end of a call in the United States pays a lookup fee to the originating provider for caller ID name data. The shadier telcos split this "CNAM dip" revenue with clients that have a high volume of outbound calls.
tl;dr: Even if you don't answer the call, these assholes still make money.
