These are all great, but I've done none of them and get maybe 1 spam call a month. It's easy... just answer the calls and talk to them.

Have a bookmark to https://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com, go along with their script and feed them all the fake CC numbers they want. After a couple, they'll cuss you out, hang up, and put you on the real do-not-call list. You're hurting them by tying up a phone line, a "representative's" time, and making them give bad credit card numbers to their payment processor.

Like I said, my spam calls are down to one a month. I get excited when one calls. At first I was doing a call every day or so, but it fizzled out really fast.

Spammers are a business; if you make it hideously unprofitable to call you they'll quit calling you.
