Won't work. Caller ID is like the return address on an envelope. They can put any number there they want. See spoofcard.com for a commercial service that does this.
There have been a lot of calls offering "free" alarm systems in our community lately. It's the same message, but the caller ID is different every time.
And legislation? Where are you going to get the millions of dollars for lobbyists and campaign donations? That's what the industry spent to make sure the legislation we have is toothless, and that there's only a pittance in the budget for enforcement. Classic case of best regulation money can buy.
I own 775 2688 (with my area code, not the 347 area code) and I keep getting calls from people saying that I have called them and the caller ID apparently tells them its the neighborhood watch. I have NOT called any of these people.... Its getting annoying
How do you expect the Do Not Call list to stop criminals and scammers? It is not a blocking service but a list of numbers legitimate businesses use to remove numbers from their calling lists. It does not cover anything but calls with the purpose of selling you goods or services and many shady companies try to use loopholes to get around it. That should tell you everything you need to know about any call that does try to sell you something unless it is a company you have done business with in the past 18 months.
