    How about their little shell game with caller ID and related tech?

    First, it's we'll sell you caller ID. Then they sell the spammers an anonymous account. Then, they sell you a feature to block anonymous callers. Then they sell the spammers a feature to get through to people that block anonymous callers.

    It's a frickin racket. This is what the MOB does.
    Pay us some money and we'll protect you from spammers. Oh, the protection isn't working? Pay us some more money.
