If you're expecting scammers to abide by the Do Not Call registry, you'll be waiting quite awhile. The scammers are quite often located well out of the reach of the US government. The phone numbers are nearly always spoofed (These scammers figure what numbers within an area code are not currently in use and spoof them or their use a prefix that is invalid.), so it's very difficult to report them properly. The various means that are at the disposal of the average person to address such calls are not 100% effective and if these scams didn't work, they wouldn't be running them. The more people that thwart them, the better, but not everyone will use the tools at their disposal.
