The problem is that the more calls they get, the more employees they can hire to answer the calls. I'll bet you a dollar that they spend more taxpayer money on administering the anti-fraud program than they save by stopping fraud. But, they won't show you the data.

The FTC still spends thousands on administering the DO-NOT-CALL list, which has been a total failure. Logically, they should cancel the program, but they won't.
