We're on both the Colorado list and the national list, and get lots of these scammer calls.  You're right; the no-call lists just don't work.  There are no teeth in those laws, and too many ways around them.  We need *real* no-call lists, with easy ways for victims to not just report the call (nothing seems to happen with that) but actually get compensated by the callers.  Every call made to someone on the list should cost the caller enough money that they won't want to do it.  There should also be criminal charges for repeat offenders.  The exceptions for "charity", "survey", and political calls also need to be closed.  If that means having a separate list for those, fine, but since most of the "charity" and "survey" calls are really telemarketers hiding behind false labels, there should be an easier way to stop those.  My phone service provider allows blocking of specific numbers, but only 25, and it doesn't appear to allow wildcarding (e.g. 1800*), so it isn't nearly enough.  My phone has a list of blocked numbers as well, but that takes the second ring before it works.  The real solution is to have laws that can be effectively enforced and have substantial penalties for offenders.  If it costs them $1,000 per call, they'll stop.

Same call again. When I picked up I started giving them a hard time using no-so friendly words.

Called several times over the last few days.
When I answered, there was a long (robo-dialer) pause, then someone came on the line, claiming something about pain management.
I told him to go f¥€k himself, and I hung up.

Called my cell which is on state and national do not call (what a joke - no enforcement to it!) telling me they had sent me information regarding pain relief and were following up because they hadn't heard from me.  Hmmm shouldn't that tell you I'm not interested in your scam?  Asked her to take me off calling list and she hung up.  Blocked on my cell but they'll simply change one number in their phone number and call again.  It never ends!

Called but left no message. CID was DRRECOMMENDED. Saw on this forum it was some pain medicine scam. Few months back got a call from DRRECOMMENDED on 607-203-5653, that one didn't leave a message either.
