The 5 year expiration ended in 2008 and it's now a permanent registration. (See link below) However, I doubt that being registered would affect scammers much; legitimate telemarketers can be dealt with much easier. You can also file complaints at the site shown below. Bottom line is that we have to be cautious on any calls like the one Pooh described.
