source: work at place with large call center. Avoiding DNC fines is among one of our top priorities.
secondary source: S.O. works at place with call center for a large bank. Same thing.
Also anecdotally: If you file a complaint with the FTC for an unknown number that keeps calling you back without them giving you a chance to "opt out" (this is most scammer numbers), you file a ticket with the FTC, and they usually respond to the ticket within 2-3 days. (Another funny thing -- they use Zendesk.). I stopped receiving the calls since filing the report.
As to why they take it so seriously? My guess is it's easy money for them. Kind of like traffic tickets for cops.
