These [***] keep calling me, too, different numbers, of course, and the "Do Not Call" registry is completely powerless to stop it. I've been doing some reading about these schemes and the real profit for these scammers is not in plucking out the one fool in a hundred thousand who might be duped into providing actual credit card information (anyone that dumb probably doesn't have great credit anyway), but instead the real potential for making money lies in the sheer volume of calls made. I don't claim to understand it completely, but apparently they set up dubious telecom companies, and there is some kind of fee they collect, small fractions of cents, I think it is, for each time their caller ID information is displayed. I'm not sure how all of this works, but I think a person or an answering machine has to pick up the line in order for them to collect any of those minuscule fees, so that explains why they keep calling and calling and calling. It's infuriating and these leeches need to be stopped!
