We already know who and where they are. The issue is they're out of US jurisdiction. Local law enforcement in Karachi Pakistan won't shut it down. It would only take a dedicated group of 50-100 people at one time but for weeks to call in and flood their phones playing along to put them out of business. No one organized anything where a group can form taking turns calling them to play along. And we need to have a service that gives a new phone number each time. I had a scammer want to block an entire telco's exchange (ever number available to a carrier) because of me, and that was only putting in 30 minutes of effort. Imagine what 50-100 people can do? But with out local gov't support in their country nit much a single person can do; well unless you're very motivated and good with computers. 100 skype or google voice accounts calling in to then can do a lot of damage too to them but while they might not get in trouble for that we might. 100 people making 1 call I think is different than 1 person making 100 calls. You have a cost using skype or similar too doing that. It's too bad the telcos don't block it. But tracking them down that's the easy part. This company employs about 100 people in a poverty area of the city. If police there shut it down all these people would be left with no jobs and we might not like it but I believe they don't care so much scamming Americans. So local govt/police do nothing, in fact from what I heard this scam is very respected in their neighborhood. I heard parents approve of the place of employment their children are working at over there. So why would anyone there want to stop it. Now our gov't can force telcos to block incoming calls as their identified as big scam by volume, peoples reports and location of inbound calls but they don't. That should fall under USA jurisdiction at least blocking them on our side but it doesn't or hasn't happened. I hear your frustration. I have to keep my phone on for emergencies and work at night sleep by day. Lots of these calls prevent me from sleeping. Glad I was able to get nearly all of them to stop so I can sleep.
Got home from work with a message on my phone from this # saying that the IRS was filing a felony lawsuit against me and I should call back to clear up this matter. Did not call back because this is a SCAM. The IRS does not make these calls.
