Folks, the first thing you need to know is that the number you see in your Caller ID is totally false. It is a waste of time to try and see where the call originated, as they can put in any number that they want.
I saw how this worked when I set up a phone system for a legitimate operation over 5 years ago. I was able to surprise my wife by calling her and sending our own Caller ID her way.
Regrettably I, too have to put up with these calls. These crooks are in the ID theft business, and there is little the Do Not Call List can do to stop these guys.
There are technologies in the telephone industry to get these guys, but court orders take time, as the government has checks and balances in place to protect our rights.
