Telemarketing is more out of control than ever, especially with criminal scammers trying to steal from unsuspecting people. There are policy reforms that need to happen. First, we need to abolish the "do not call" list and replace it with a "do-call" list. The only way someone can be legally called is if they opt in to the list, and that opt-in must be renewed annually. Calling anyone not on the list would be a $10,000 fine on the first offense. The second offense should be a $25,000 fine, with each offense after that bringing a $100,000 fine. The fines would be paid to the person who gets the unwanted call, not the government. Let's bankrupt these companies. They do not deserve to exist.
