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 to get a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information, or visit your favorite sales site.

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 informed him that I was recording the call. I asked the twatwad what the address of the company he was calling from. He asked "Why do you want to know that." When I indicated that I have a lawyer friend in California who would be drawing up a class action lawsuit against him and his company, he called me a [***] repeatedly and hung up.
Caller said he was from Microsoft (calling from a cell phone) and needed the Key code for my Windows operating system. Heavy Indian accent, calling himself Bryan Smith. Yes, I hung up, LOLOLOLOLOL, he must have just fallen off the turnip truck.
I just got a call from this number. A woman said her name was Sara Roberts and she was trying to have legal documents delivered to me. The caller ID said the number was a cell phone from NY. I thought it was odd she would call on my landline to try to deliver something to my old address. I hung up and she immediately called back from an "Unknown number" and left a voicemail for me to call them.
They call my cell looking for my husband. Why I ask? Is he available? What do you you want I ask?( Yeah I can be a smart***)They like to hemhaw around.Lo and behold, they are a distributor of diabetic supplies!! That's when I tell them this is not his phone DO NOT CALL again. I end up using my cell provider service to block the number. Pretty soon I am going to have to keep a call log of all the unwanted numbers
