Whenever I get these calls I do my best at keeping them on the line for as long as possible.

One thing that REALLY bothers me about these scripts, is that at some point, they'll get the "RCMP" to call you, and they're able to spoof the number of your local police station on your caller ID.

Whatever call-proxy service they use are BIG time complicit, and would be under jurisdiction of Canadian law enforcement. If they're the only people Canadian law can touch, so be it, prison.

Even just basic KYC requirements would annihilate the ability of these scam shops to operate with impunity, and we know the government knows how to pass those per industry because it took like 15 minutes and a crayon to get it done for Bitcoin.

Yeah I think it's time for the government to ban unauthenticated calling and slap a million dollar penalty on any telecom that lets one through per call.
