You need to be signed up at donotcall.gov - the government has put in countless hours into thwarting spammers. Many companies have been taken to court, so don't think nothing's being done, it's just that these parasites multiply like cockroaches. At any rate, once signed up on the do not call registry, you can then report unwanted callers. It's good that you actually spoke to them, so you have something to report. Most people just don't answer their phones. I always hope they leave a voice mail, so I can report in verbatim what was said.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
