I have an app called "Number Guru" which allows for reverse telephone number look up, and most of the times reports Scam number. If the numbers are that identifiable, why can they reverse identify the caller location (and name) and prosecute them. If the scammers have the ability to clone a telephone number, why can't the phone companies put a halt to it through change in technology? It is not only annoying, but many times costs the victim a lot of money.

Why? Cause they are making money off them plain and simple. They buy blocks of numbers in the hundreds, so it person blocks That one computer just calls on the next one, you would have to block hundreds to even come close to stopping scam calls.
When you answer they get hit and know it live number, now rhe sell that number to other telemarking scammers. It’s all about the money, they hit the jackpot when somebody falls for scam or gives them access to their device so they can copy The hard drive and plant bug.
