Sadly, to 'report it to the police' is easier said than done. I know my local police department lacks jurisdiction and the best I can do is submit a report to the FCC. But what use is reporting the dozens of spam calls I receive every day to an agency that seems to lack the means to go after sophisticated spammers outside of the United States? It's not like these spammers use real contact information (they use dynamic fake phone numbers) and operate inside of the US.

I suspect virtually all such reports end up being used for metrics and no actual prosecutorial case is created out of them.
