I receive MULTIPLE calls a day from Illinois, Nebraska, Florida, Maryland, Oregon, Ohio, California, Michigan, New York, Texas and Oregon--just to name a few. They all say the same thing, the first part of the recorded message claims a documented case of fraud against me with a return phone number (that is a busy signal when you return the call from your own cell) and then my favorite part--"govern yourself accordingly and good luck" as if this is some dystopian game show and two men enter, only one man leaves.
I have returned the call from a land line and actually spoke to a person who promptly hung up on me when I started making demands to put in me in touch with a supervisor for harassment. This, obviously, did not work.
Before these calls, I received multiple calls a week looking for "Louis" (I am not Louis). I finally would respond "this is Louis" (because there are so many women named Louis,right?) and they would try to sell me insurance!! I finally had my children answer the phone and ask them silly questions or scream at them (whatever they felt like doing for that day) and they stopped calling.
Now it's just me and the fraud division lady from 217. She calls so much, I feel we are close. I may invite her over for dinner.

I never answer these numbers I don't recognize. Then, after they hang up, check the number on the Internet to see if there is any info about them then I promptly block the number. It's a pain to have to continually have to do this. Too many scams going on these days!
