I really wish they could check phone numbers. I’ve been getting a TON of spam recently and it would be interesting to see where it’s coming from.

There has likely been an evolution of war dialers. It’s probably easier to blast through every possible number once a year, and sell a list of every valid number. Targeting specific area codes is probably faster and would avoid some legal problems.
