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.
Here in UK the boogers relay through legit numbers from their lairs in India etc.
Getting harder to stop them all, as the call centers always seem to be in front of the block-call technology.
