The problem with that is the junk callers are coming from overseas, outside of the reach of the US laws.
But there are ways you can stop those junk callers from annoying you, if you choose to do that. Or, you can keep putting up with the junk callers! Every month and every year, there will be more and more junk callers. Those companies only need to make money on a very tiny fraction of the people who fall for the advertising or scam.
Filtering out the junk callers is dirt cheap, if it saves you thousands or hundreds of thousands to prevent a scam that could have cost you or a vulnerable person that you know.
