It was interesting what Singapore did. Basically all numbers need to be registered, otherwise the default caller ID is "Likely SCAM". The government gave companies a heads up, but even Singapore Airlines and a few major banks had to send out emails apologizing for their texts being labelled as "Likely Scam" right after the change. Suffice to say legitimate companies got registered really quickly. |

In the U.S., it's trivially easy to make your call look like it's coming from whatever number you want, so scammers just have caller ID display the real phone number for the bank they're pretending to call from.
