Might help a little.
People prepared to commit fraud don't particularly care about the Do
Not Call List. If you can't get their phone number or company name
(they hang up or give you a bogus name when you ask), it's difficult
to report them. What I'd like is one of those *-codes to
automatically report a call, since the phone company has a much better
idea of who called than I do.
If they're cracking PBXs, it might not help much, though the PBX
owners could be fined for maintaining an attractive nuisance without
adequate security.
Well, after I wrote, I realized my error about Asterix, but notice, I
*did* say, "a little." It doesn't hurt to be on the DNC list, even if
it doesn't help so much.
