As I've said a few times before, if "scam call" was one of the drop menu choices, no phone call would ever be accurately categorized again. I would agree with a revision to "charity" or "fundraiser". Whether or not the operation is a fraud is a separate issue, as with sales and debt collector calls. Callers are regulated differently according to their supposed purpose, which is why it matters to segregate them here.
Actually, they are far worse than 90% (as noted above). In FY2012, they collected $5,869,013 and everything but a measly $219,315 was cited as "expenses." "Charity Navigator" rates them zero out of four stars.
Too bad there's not a "scam" call-type choice--these vermin are far from the "Non-profit Organization" call-type noted below.
