It is way too easy for scammers to fake the phone numbers, so (IHMO) even if the FCC required accurate phone ID numbers this would not stop the scammers, as no one would be able to take the faked numbers. I do not know the details of the workings of the phone system, but there should be a way to spot phone calls from one number but reporting to be from a different number. This would need to be done at the phone companies.....
