I think we all agree that scams are a genuine problem but it is easy to make cynical comments from the sidelines (and believe me I understand anyone’s cynicism), much harder to make constructive suggestions.
Probably “share information about those calls with other telcos” is a positive step, so if a scam caller is detected and blocked in one telco, it can very quickly and efficiently get blocked in all other telcos - whereas in the past the scam caller would have to be detected and independently blocked in each telco.
I don’t get a huge number of scam calls each year - and yes they do come in waves - but a reduction of 3 for me, could be, say, a 25% reduction, and I am happy about that. There’s just more to do.
