Parents need to parent. Full stop. This means the parents of adult scammers too. Every scammer has a mother and father who are failing them. If they were doing their jobs, this wouldn't be happening.
Honestly, stop the KYC regime everywhere else . We're making our law enforcement's job marginally easier, by making the criminals' job infinitely easier by creating millions of juicy PII honeypots. No, you don't need my phone #, real name, captcha.. if you think you do, realign your incentives, and rethink what else can be used for your real need instead.

The crazy thing is that a simple 9-digit number (that you must give away for many things) can ruin your life if it gets public. The US seems so backwards at times.
at times? we can't even decide if women are allowed to control their own bodies. we're now open to states stopping people with dark skin from voting, and we have giant internment camps where we keep innocent men, women, children because they have a spanish accent. vaccines are apparently not a worldwide health miracle, education is overrated, we're bringing back jobs in coal and oil, and invading/destabilizing latin…

They're always calling from random countries anyway. Maybe we can tell (not ask) other countries to do their job and clamp down on these scam houses.
We really just need telcos to stop allowing caller id spoofing. Doesn’t even need your name, but with a real number we could actually report these scams. You can still allow people to hide it, but then by default every non-business phone should block calls with hidden numbers.
Medical offices hide their numbers for very good reasons: if you've got an abusive spouse, you often don't want the medical office in your call history. Which results in a lot of very important calls being ignored.
Phone numbers are just a liability: - It is kind of expensive, - You are forced to provide it to many official institutions, - It is the default or mandatory insecure 2FA for many institutions, - It always get leaked somewhere and is one of the most common/reliable identifier. We still have them around governments and telcos love it and old people and scammers are its last users.
