I appreciate the US has 10x the population, but Australia’s Do Not Call Register (https://www.donotcall.gov.au https://www.donotcall.gov.au) has been fairly effective at reducing these calls (with a domestic origin at least).
It works as a central government register with a threat and imposition of large penalties for companies who disregard it.
- haimez 8y agoIt's international scammers that are the problem, not internal corporations. An internal registry hurts more than it helps because it provides a list of callable numbers, and chasing down scammers is way, way, way too expensive to enforce by any practical measure. Australia doesn't have this problem for the same reason OSX didn't have viruses in the early naughts. Not a big enough target.
