Perhaps it does cut down on overall calls, but only from legitimate companies. The scammers ignore it, and many other organizations are exempt.

And no, I'm not going to call some beleaguered understaffed Medicare department to tell them that I received some call that can't be traced. All they can do is confirm it was not from Medicare, and I already know that.
