OK, I completely agree with stopping untraceable money transfers.

But I see several problems with the call issue.

1. The do not call list. In a sense that did work. I know of 3 "call centers" in our area (within 30 or so miles in a rural area) that closed. But there were loop holes too. Such as allowing any business that you had given your number to, to call. That included any affiliates of said company. I never used the do not call list and the number of telemarketers calling me has dropped to almost 0.

2. Those laws only apply to call centers located IN the US. So basically all that did was make Americans lose jobs. Now they can call from Canada, Mexico, India or any other country. Nothing to stop that and it's not the phone companies fault. No way yo impose our laws on other countries unless we invade and take control of said country.

3. Limiting calls or barring phone cloaking software? One of my daughter in laws is an office manager for a medical insurance company. One that sells some insurance through the exchanges. They have several call centers around the US making "300" calls a minute. But they are calls to people making sure they got their insurance cards and understand their policies. You want to bar legitimate calls? How is the phone company supposed to know without illegally listening in on calls? You want someone monitoring your calls? That is also why the cloaking devices can't be stopped. They would have to monitor calls to know that one was being used.

Don't get me wrong. I'd like to see this stopped too but I'm not willing to surrender any of my rights to do it. Every time you put up a roadblock to stop these con artist they will in short order find a way around it. I think scamming people is the world 2nd oldest profession.
