Here's a link to the federal government's complaint form. It's a good idea to execute one these each time you get called on a number you've placed on the "do not call" list --or any robo-call (they're all illegal).

Every once in a while, you see an article about some telemarketing firm being fined upwards of $100 million. My theory is that the government lets them go until the number of complaints nets them a huge fine.

I say right away, "I don't do anything over the phone, thank you, bye".
I use my phone to talk with friends and for my convenience. I donate to charities of my choice the old fashioned way...they send an envelope, I put a check in it and send it back.

I have a feeling it might be 5 years since we called the do not call number and don't I remember that it expires in 5 years? So maybe we need to put our numbers back on that list again because, I, too seem to be getting more calls again???
