I don't even bothering answering the phone unless i recognize the phone number.
I will answer the call whenever I can. Its not usually a live person but if it is, I politely ask to be removed. If its a recording, often there will be an option to "press XX to be removed" at the end of the long recording. Most people don't answer or don't listen all the way through, but I'll try this if I'm able to. I also block the numbers on my iPhone, ensured I am on the "Do Not Call" list, and have also used NoMoRobo for my landline. All of these things together result in maybe 2-3 calls a week for me, on average. I see NoMoRobo has an app for iPhones now so I might add that too.
However, answering a robo call CAN also result in getting more calls since their random dialing program now knows it is a current number. We don't answer the phone if the number isn't recognized.
Would NEVER buy anything from unsolicited callers, don't owe the IRS any money and don't want 'help' from Microsoft ............LOL.

yes same reason hitting the unsubscribe link at the bottom of an email can get you more spam. hitting that link will only remove you if its a legit company.
If yo u have At&T as your cell provider you can download their app called call protect. Its awesome, you can set it to completely block fraud calls or notify you and give you the chance to answer, you can manually block calls through the app as well.
are you sure you have it turned on? I use it and it works great, maybe there is a setting that is off?I was hopeful this might block the calls. I've gotten 6 already this morning so it didn't work for me, unfortunately.
And just after typing this, another 2 came through. Grrrrr.
