Don't we all hate / calls / calls?

Here's something we need but don't have. Canada has / deployed now, as I understand it. This lets phone companies determine where scam calls actually originate (technically, from what company they originate or are last vouched for).

But we lack a way to tell the phone company "This was a scam call, investigate it".

[...]

How about a new code? If they get a bunch of reports that trace back to the same originating company, they know to investigate that company, and warn them - which leads to refusing to terminate calls from that company if they don't boot the scammers.

All you would have to do is hang up on the scam call, then *94 (or whatever), and it's reported.

I thought this would already be implemented, but I can't find it.
