Reports are down because people have given up on reporting. The FTC doesn’t send you details of if they’re doing anything with your report. Most telemarketing comes from spoofed phone numbers. Reporting the same caller for 2+ YEARS doesn’t stop them from calling. Enforcement actions appear to be exceedingly rare.
If call volume doubles but 2/3 of reporters have given up, the metric goes down. This isn’t a win.
