Yes, the Do Not Call List has become worthless.
Telemarketing scammers use the internet's VOIP technology to "spoof" their phone numbers, which means they can get your Caller I.D. to display anything they want, from inactive phone numbers to FBI Headquarters (great for scamming). For that matter, if they're using the internet to place phone calls, they don't even have phone numbers.
Do Not Call List was good while it lasted. Waste of time today.
Best hope is for the phone company to start blocking calls from spoofed phone numbers.
In summary, telemarketing scammer phone numbers displayed on your Caller I.D. is universally spoofed and useless for reporting to The List, the FCC, the FTC, or anything, except for 800notes.com; thanks.
