    I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.

    Which, in this isolated case, I’m okay with.

      But don’t you see?! Those increased expenses will just be passed along to the scammed!

      (No actual point here just thought it was funny to compare to the logic we hear for not punishing other abusive businesses)
