This one is harder to stop since lots of scams are hosted over VoIP from overseas.

It isn’t the calls per se, though I’m not a fan of sales calls. It is the number spoofing that drives me nuts. I’m not an expert but I’ve got to believe allowing scammers to appear as valid phone numbers on caller id has got to be a solvable problem. Even just an indication that the call is coming from a VoIP relay and not my kid’s school’s landline has to be possible, no?
