The Do Not Call list works for legitimate businesses. The problem is that these scammers are not legitimate businesses, don't care about the Do Not Call List and are probably not actually calling from the number that shows on your caller ID, making it extremely hard for authorities to track them down and prosecute them. They also don't care that they are not supposed to be telemarketing to cell phones. I also do not answer calls from numbers I don't recognize and if they don't leave a voice mail and/or show up on one of these lists as a telemarketer/scammer, I add them to a SPAM contact on my phone. They rarely use the same number twice but occasionally SPAM comes up on my caller ID and I can just ignore it.
