If the call originates in another country, law enforcement and prosecutors in this country cannot do much.
Still :
You can report this malicious caller by dialing *57 right after the call ends. This sets up a trace. Then you have to file a police report. The trace is not free - you will be billed by your phone supplier for it.
Malicious caller identification

Malicious caller identification, activated by Vertical service code Star codes *57, is an upcharge fee subscription service offered by telephone company providers which, when dialed immediately after a malicious call, records meta-data for police follow-up. Remember to file a police report for each use - law enforcement will only act on the trace once a formal police report is filed in regard to the call.
Malicious caller identification facility, also called malicious call trace or caller activated malicious call trace, when subscribed or enabled, works by allowing a phone call recipient to mark or flag the preceding phone call connection as malicious (i.e. harassing, threatening, obscene, etc.) The phone system will then automatically trace the call by flagging station to station billing and routing data including start and end times. The call trace is not dependent upon call duration (as envisioned in dramatic movie plots) and will record all meta-data regardless of source conditions - even if the call was made from a silent number, payphone or a number with caller identification disabled. To protect privacy the resulting trace data is only made available to law enforcement.
In Canada, the service is usually marketed as call trace, and fees generally only apply when the service is used.
So I just got scam by this number I was looking for a loan and I applied at different loan agencies this guy named Shawn Wilson call me and said I was approved for a 8,000.00 loan all I had to do was first go to Wal-Mart and ask for Money Gram and I had to pay 227.00 but I couldn't get to Wal-Mart so he told me to go to a CVS to do the money gram and I did to make a long story short I paid 462.50 and no money never went into my account he never call me back and now the phone keeps going to voicemail I'm a smart person I should have known it was a scam this the first time and last time please don't give these people any info they need to be caught taking money from innocent people.
This number just called and messaged me I called back and talked to a guy supposedly named Shawn and he said I am approbed for a loan of up to $2000 dollars and in order to proceed with the money Inow my account they need to send $1000- $1500 to my account and resend it back to verify my account is active and then they will send the full $2000 to me. I told him it sounds like a scam shouldn't have to do that to receive money. Either you send it or you don't period. Verifying info is one thing but when u trying to get me to send money back to you that doesn't sound legit to me.
