I use NoMoRobo — it is quite effective at blocking the crap. If you want to help, you submit numbers that did get through so others won’t get hit by them. Helping is optional, but I like doing it.
The Do Not Call Registry is somewhat useful but not very effective at preventing these types of telephone scam calls.
I purchased a Panasonic phone which I can block any such phone numbers myself.
