#1: Easy to say, hard to do. Eventually the people likely to click will click no matter how hard you try to convince them that snake oil just doesn't work good... There's always a new brand of snake oil... #2: This can backfire - it lets them know they're reaching live people, and they can then assume that if x% are calling them, some greater number isn't, and likely some profitable portion of that will buy in... #3: Isn't that what Blue Frog was? One problem is that Blue Frog used the very tactic they complained of... spamming back... Most viable method is to get legislation in criminalizing the activities, and then fight it out in the WTO when the countries that refuse to criminalize object and demand you let them spam you... Of course, this becomes hard when we in turn refuse to respect their laws and the rulings in the WTO that went in their favor: http://news.com.com/WTO+slams+U.S.+Net-gambling+ban/2100-1030_3-5658636.html (when gets even more difficult when we had good reason to do so... too bad we aren't willing to ignore the WTO when it comes to environmental issues like dolphin safe tuna, toxic dumping, and whaling, or labor issues and sex trafficking...)

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
