Typical Politics is whats happening no actual effect to fix the issue, the telephone companies blame fcc / do not call list, and vice versa.

The correct solution to FIX SPOOFING  rests 100% on the phone services companies to fix their phone systems and update it so each number is registered and has a hash code tag with it thats invisible past the phone number that only the gov and phone company attach to a real phone number registered to a legit phone PERSON.   This way any calls that don'T have the hash tag along with it aka a SPOOFED PHONE NUMBER WONT HAVE THE INVISIBLE HASH TAG CODE SO IT WILL BE FAKE AND REJECTED BY THE PHONE COMPANY AND CANT BE DIALED.

This type of system is the only way to fix such issues.  Then they cant copy a phone number because they wont have access to the secret hash code also along with the phone number to make a call.

This way when you register on the do not call list, when someone does SPAM you, you can file a small claims court against then since is registered the owner will be known now ( not spoofed ) so they will pay you $500.00 fine for it.  Like many they say they get lots of spammers a day,  file claims on 20 bad calls a day x 500 bucks and you can get rich off the scammers.

If the phone companies stop blaming others and get FIX thier phone system so all numbers are FCC registered and all numbers when dialed have a secret hash code check 1st to insure its real registered person, not a spoof.

The phone companies have the ability to fix this is just all of them completely fail to  impliment such systems for blocking spoofers due to they dont want spend the money for upgrades on the antiquated systems most of the worlds phone calls currently transport through.   Your phone my be new but calling transport systems is outdated which is why the 20+ year old spoofing techniques still work on them.
