I actually want to. I got one of those spam calls the other day about like consolidating credit card interest or something like that so I was like lolwut no and hung up. Made sure to check all of my cards and they were fine, and then I googled the call and was like oh. Makes sense. Usually I don't answer calls I don't recognize but the number looked similar to one I knew so it caught me slipping.

i think if you start to answer these calls then you will get more. I answered once and was like, who is this and the dude just hung up

i think a lot of those calls are just phishing for real #s that have people answering them.

I did, but automated marketing calls to cell numbers are already prohibited.

Relevant information here: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0133-cell-phones-and-do-not-call-registry

It doesn't stop scammers, but it got rid of non-automated calls like random companies offering extended car protection plans.

Not legitimate ones. A list isn't going to stop random scammers though.
