THE RBC has a right to sue Gmail out of existence.

 
You would think that both Microsoft and Google would be willing
to provide IP lists for accounts responsible for the phishing attempt.

 
Problem was often the Internet Cafes.
I received the same spam from different accounts.
All reported to Gmail.
The spamming ended either by spammer giving up
or that Gmail quarantained bulk email

Insecure wireless networks are another source that spammers and
other such miscreants rely on.  In particular, restaurants and
plenty of retail shops tend to use their phone number for the
WiFi password so their customers can easily figure out how to
get connected while enjoying a meal, shopping, lining up to pay
for goods and services, etc.

If the abuse continues to get worse, I suspect that this avenue
will also begin to close up, but it probably won't be soon
enough since a lot of people are willing to sacrifice security
for convenience (this, and the fact that staff busy serving
food, etc., don't have the time nor the interest in providing
technical support).
