Did you know new rules came out for robocallers last Oct?
Thanks to ms. Smiler for showing me the page.
The New Rules For Robocalls
the new rules cover:
a prerecorded telemarketing call to your residential phone number
prerecorded telemarketing call or text to your wireless number
The new rules require that telemarketers first obtain your written consent:
on paper or through electronic means, including website forms, a telephone keypress, or a recording of your oral consent.
telemarketers will no longer be able to make telemarketing robocalls to your landline home telephone based solely on an “established business relationship” with you.
( this is huge!)
Businesses must now have your prior express written consent before making telemarketing robocalls to you, even if they have an established business relationship with you.
(Note: Telemarketers have never been permitted to make robocalls to your wireless phone based solely on an “established business relationship” with you).
If you purchase something from a business or contact the business to ask questions, that IS establishing a business relationship.
Telemarketers must now to allow you to opt out of receiving additional telemarketing robocalls immediately during a prerecorded telemarketing call through an automated menu.
The opt-out mechanism must be announced at the outset of the message and must be available throughout the duration of the call.
There is no change to the prior consent requirement for robocalls and texts that are not telemarketing.
These include messages regarding school closings or messages containing flight information, for example.
You do not have to give your consent for these calls to your landline home phone.
However, your oral or written consent is still required for these types of autodialed or prerecorded calls or texts made to your wireless number.

Second, can you identify the callers with a phone number or name?
I reserve my tools like Call Block for callers that I can’t identify. Some are offshore scammers and I don’t get enough information to track them down, so I use measures to limit my inconvenience.
Then, there are the callers I can identify. 
Even if a phone number doesn’t appear on my caller ID it often shows on my online phone records. I search the number and usually identify the company and address which is needed when I file a Complaint in my local court. I have noticed that filing a Complaint in my local court works like a charm and the calls cease from the sued party.
It sounds like you’re receiving pre-recorded calls which made even to a landline is an unlawful call. Please let me know if your number is listed on the DNC and what types of calls you’re receiving and if they are on land lines or a cell phone.
Start thinking in terms of $1,500 per call and you’ll get an idea of the fun I’m having since I learned about the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

I don’t know if you’ll bankrupt any scammers or get rich, but you can at least nicely supplement your income. 
Ignoring nuisance calls does nothing to discourage unlawful business practices, but holding businesses accountable for unlawful behavior increases the cost of their unlawful behavior and puts money in my pocket.
Win, win.
We have consumer laws to protect consumers. I'm glad I had the good sense to learn about them and make good use of those tools.
