Yes, but this is not a problem for a large carrier, as the people that receive it sure do. In other words, the money you lose on the spammer is subsidized by all the people that pay you to receive it.

This is, in fact (for you nanae watchers), the
reason that most of them get canceled by us FASTER... Sadly, non-payment
is often a quicker and easier method to term a customer than 'abuse', less
checks since there is no 'percieved revenue' :(
A revenue check has no place in abuse terminations.
