And the ones raking in that cash, besides the scammers, are the telecomm companies and Google/Facebook/etc. - the first get a cut, the second sell the ads.
I used the ad feedback link to give Google a piece of my mind about their collaboration in these scams. Seems that they, and the telcos, are willing to keep raking in the cash until their name is mud.
Who are these people who are forking out real money to buy crap ?
