The way forward isn't filtering spam. It's stopping it at the source. Severe punishments for instigators and technology to catch these people. I would happily sign up for a communication system on top of email, texts and phones that require identity to be transferred with texts. Some system that unfortunately allows big brother to track all activities. That will effectively stop spammers and scammers. I get the big brother aspect is bad. So that's why I want this to exist on top of standard communication systems. Though the bad thing is... If it gets to popular people might end up eventually fully switching.
