The best way to get Congress to do something about this would be to call your current member of Congress at both there their local and Washington offices. Tell them you are being harassed by phone scams and that you need their help. After they tell you that this is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), tell them thank you and hang up. Every time you get a scam call, you again call Congress and tell them the same thing. When they tell you that they already told you that this is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), you tell them that the call got you so upset that you forgot what they had said before. Call them every time you get one of these calls. After they get hundreds or even thousands of callers each calling them several times, maybe they will do something about it. Information for members of Congress can be found on the left hand side about halfway down the page at https://www.congress.gov//
The FTC and top communications companies are meeting, to determine what they can do to stop robocalls and other illegal calls. Here is a link to a frequently updated page, showing the history and progress of their initiatives, as well as recent Congressional bills. Industry implementations are added after they are announced.

(I strongly suggest you read the history and progress of
H.R.2669 - Anti-Spoofing Act of 2015
and
S.2558 - Spoofing Prevention Act of 2016
to learn how [slowly] bills progress through our Congressional system, even when there is bilateral agreement that something should be done.)
