Most junk calls these days originate outside the USA (e.g., fly-by-night boiler-rooms in India, Russia, the Philippines, &c.). The DNC list doesn't apply to them, and most countries turn a blind eye to these operations. The occasional bust is nothing more than a PR stunt. Law-enforcement agencies in developing nations are perennially underfunded and the agents are amenable to bribes in order to look the other way.

We could decide to prioritize investigating prosecuting and fining / jailing those people. Can and should. So maybe it would require coordination with other governments. Boo hoo. Hard work. The fact that our government somehow decided it’s nobody’s job to protect its citizens from constant harassment and financial attacks is a travesty of justice.
