caller ID?
never answer the phone without caller ID screening.
leave your fax machine (you do have one don't you?) on to answer the phone.
when the fax machine answers the call, the computer generated (phishing) calls will register your # as someone to not call again.
besides, have you ever called a # only to find it was a fax-only number? I'll bet you don't ever call that number again, do you?
you'll still get calls, but not nearly with the frequency you have had before using these tips.
short of that, turn the ringers off and only use the phone for calling out......of course, everyone you want to be 'able' to call you will quit calling as well.
