Um.
One tip was given you in the post made just before yours.

Other tips can be found throughout this site, if you care to look.

Are you aware of call blocker technology?
Have you googled/searched for "Call Blocker?



Call blockers are available as phones, apps (some free) and standalone devices.
Remember,
The Do Not Call List is NOT a call blocker!

Here is 800notes' discussion on call blockers:

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them.

First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

For a more frequently updated list of complaint sites, with links to government web pages, look here:
