Please realize that:
Your post here will NOT stop the calls. We did not call you. Your caller probably does not read these messages. We cannot block calls to you. We cannot put you on or take you off a list.The National Do Not Call list is respected by legitimate telemarketers, but is ignored by criminal telescammers.YOU are your own best defense against unwanted calls! You can use a call blocking app, device, service or procedure to block such calls.
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:
1) First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime". (It may appear in the column to your right).
2) For a more frequently updated list of complaint sites, with links to government web pages, look here:

Called my cell. Said it was a Chicago IL number - probably shouldn't have answered it though. When I answered there wasn't anyone on the other end. I'm guessing they're trying to figure out what numbers are good so that scammers can call.
Got another call from this number today - this time they said they had a missed call from my number and that they were a Federal Student Loan relief "something or other". anyway told them they had the wrong number and that was the end of it. The person did not have an accent and sounded like someone from Chicago.
Pure scam. Claims someone called them requesting info and that never happened. Proffessional scammers that did act calm and not loose there cool. All said just give them your credit card numbers and social security number and they will take care of all your problems.
Good luck having them stop calling as it never ends.
Scammers wanting your social security number and credit card numbers. Obvious frauds. Claiming you have a student loan debt. Don't even know who they are calling, they are so dumb at scamming.
