"Do not call" relies on actual people dialing your number, to "not" dial your number. Robocalls are dialed by a computer and switched to an actual person only if the person answering the call meets a certain criteria. That's why often, when you pick up the phone, you hear a strange "blip" sound, and THEN either someone starts talking, or an automated voice starts talking. That blip - is the robocall machine switching you to the person or voice-operated system that is about to try and scam you. The Do Not Call system only works for specific lists. If they're not getting your phone number from one of those lists, then the Do Not Call rules simply don't apply.
