I get only about one robocall, whether scam or not , a month. My secret is that the number I give out to any business is my Magic Jack number, which I do not have plugged in so it does not ring. It does send an email saying I have a voice mail, but it gives the time of them, and the robocalls (almost 100 percent of them) only seem to leave a message if someone first picked up. Its $20 a year for Magic Jack and about $70 for the equipment (so $70 the first year only). The equipment is well worth it because it allows calls if your other phone(s) go down and allows free calls from the road, even when abroad where your cell may not work. Even Skype charges for calls to landlines but Magic Jack does not.
