They due diligence with kyc regulations in the US?

It's not hard to spot when a customer is making illegal calls. You have lots of every number they've dialed for billing purposes, cross check that against the national DNC list and if there is anything that overlaps it's the customers job to provide proof that the person they dialed agreed.

See? Easy.

Or just call the number they entered as 'calling from' and if the person who picks up doesn't belong to that business, cancel the spammers service.

Its not rocket science, its just telephone companies make money from scammers and not from stopping them.
