Petition to put a stop to phone scammers like "Card Member Services" by putting the onus on the telecoms that refuse to block them or fix the systems that allow them to opperate

It is simple, these phone scammers use telecom vulnerabilities to hijack innocent peoples phone numbers to misrepresent who they really are. They prey on peoples gullibility and in most cases rob them of their money and identity. While the FTC may have programs to report violators of the Do Not Call Program they simply cannot enforce it if they do not know who they are. The only solution is for the FTC to put the onus on the telecom's to implement systems that prevent the hijacking of telephone numbers used to display the callers identity and report those that attempt to bypass those implementations in an effort to conduct a criminal enterprise to the Department Of Justice. There are two groups of people who are profiting from this type of activity, the criminals who we do not know who or where they are, and the telecom's that sell them them the services that allow them to conduct their criminal activity. The telecom's should bare the burden of this problem because it is their systems that allow it to exist.
