I tried to copy the link but it wouldn’t let me — so I would google “National Do Not Call Registry (or) Registration”

Respectfully, D Burns
Far from an expert but the do not call registry, you need to report people who call. I think few bother to take that step. I believe they issue fines to people who keep calling.
Years ago I used to get calls from a hotel/motel. I reported them many times. He called me on a different number and told me I should block this number. I told him it is not my job to do their job. They stopped the calls on their end.

Today, these scam artists seem to be able to easily change numbers. It seems a survey is legal. I've gotten calls, saying I'm doing a survey if you are happy with your insurance coverage.

I get few of these calls. I think having deliberately driven these people crazy, I've graduated to the this guy is a nut, a waste of time to call him list.
