I agree. But there's a difference between Users and Customers. I always thought this list will give us a clearer picture from the "Customer" view point, to weed out 'LOT' of crooks from here. Another good idea would be sharing a list of providers - typically like - "We are calling cards providers especially to Asian countries like - India, Pakistan, Bangaldesh etc. and we are happy with this xxx provider for Ind, yyyy for Pak and zzz for BD and let the 'Customer' like us negotiate with the provider. What do you think?<br>

<br></div>I hear ya. There are a LOT of crooks in this business unfortuantely.<br>
