But if you win the judgement, how do you collect?? small claims are just impossible to collect. unless the 2 parties live in the same county and appear in front of the judge, even then how you get them to pay anything is very difficult.
If perhaps your uncle is a hotshot lawyer you might get something out of a large corp. but you have to know who to contact and in these scam callers you just don't know who it is when they spoof numbers like they do.

BTW, I was reporting calls to the FTC and nothing ever happened, then I heard some unscrupulous person may have obtained the FTC database and used that to contact people - against their wishes - basically churning the calls all over again!
