If I understand correctly robo calls are illegal unless it's a company you have dealings with.
You could try registering a complaint with https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us not sure how effective that would be since the do not call list no longer works.

It's free and it works.
The other thing you can do is block the number on your phone, if you have a digital phone.

If you have FiOS you can block up to 100 phone numbers in the dashboard area in the TV menu.
I can explain in detail if desired.

Shoot, I did forget not all companies work with them. Don't know why. I think customers need to start complaining to them!

NoMoRoBo only works with VoIP based phone services. The services that it works with all have simultaneous ringing. That means when a call comes in......it rings in your house and can be sent to ring somewhere else...... almost like call forwarding.
What NoMoRoBo does is looks at the caller ID on that incoming call. If it's on their spam list..... they pickup the call and dead end it.

Throw away the land line, it's not perfect but only a few come through.
I believe there are some ongoing discussion at FCC taking place to address, I go over to my Moms house and the phone rings constantly.
It's unbelievable!
