Urgent action needed to block spam calls and SMS

Most people have received dozens of SMS from unsolicited callers advertising online betting schemes and loans.

It is very easy for the "authority" to stop this calls. But they prefer to do nothing. It is a very sad state of affairs.

How can this be stopped?

In the SMS, there is always a number to call. Someone is holding that number. The police could have contacted that number and talked to the caller. The call can be recorded for evidence.

The caller can be traced and charged for abuse of the Do Not Call register. The first offence can be penalized lightly. Subsequent offenses can be penalized heavily.

Why does the police not adopt this approach? I wonder.
