Re: Spoofed ID
"The telcos don't know why a call is being made, wanted or unwanted, legal or not, but they always know who to charge for making it."
The phone company knows how the call came into their network and bills that operator and the only info they have on the call is what was passed to them by that operator. That may not be the originating network for the call and the information passed to them may be neither accurate nor true for any number of reasons, including incompatible systems somewhere down the line.
