IRS scams mostly originate from India, I get one a day from “John Huntington” with a thick Indian accent from IRS enforcement desk. I can see how old ladies can get scammed easily.
The government can shut it down now, all it needs is a legislation to require VOIP to POTS terminators to require the billing address and ownership information of each phone number they terminate. Game over.

The carrier should log which other carrier the call came from when they accept it, and so on and so forth. If there are too many complaints the offending carrier is kicked out of the club and is no longer able to interconnect with that local carrier. Have some financial incentives like huge fines (the carriers are complicit of this fraud because they get paid for delivering these calls to you) and the problem will solve itself in a matter of weeks.
