Unfortunately, some of these "marketers" are scam artists, and they do anything they can to try to make money -- even to the point of harassment. I got called 5 times yesterday by one who identified her company as "US Markets" and she told me to "calm down" -- it's only been about 20 phone calls from that number alone (713 area code). I told her not to call me again -- that was the 3rd call of 5 that day alone. I keep my phone on silent, too. Whenever I purchase something, I use my area code, and 000-0000, which helps prevent more of such calls. Prior to actually talking to someone, I tried calling the (713) number back, and the phone was "not in service" -- then, later is when the girl and I talked -- when she called me. These callers use "burner" phones -- prepaid. That is why they can't be stopped.
