If you read Tamianth's post, and tried reporting the scam at those links,
and if that still does not work, keep reading ...
Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is buy a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information.

If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.
I got 5 calls from this number......some I ignored some I answered and just hung up. Finally on the last call I answered and a man with a very thick accent (India?) asked for me by name and asked if I remembered him, I said no asked who this was and what it was about, he then told me he was my ex-boyfriend ( I literally laughed out loud and said I don't think so) he kept saying yes he was my ex and did I remember him? CRAZY. Guess this was his way of getting me back for repeatedly hanging up on him.
