Answer to my question came this morning. I'd contacted CenturyLink...they told me the call had to be local, NOT from a cellphone, couldn't be a long-distance or 800# to be blocked. Well there you have it!! I'd called the non-emergency Sheriff's number and the officer told me they'll generally stop after 24 to 48 hrs (though it's aggravating in the meantime). His statement proved to be true. Another answer is..."IF" you don't recognize the number don't answer and they won't continue calling back.
