Robo calls and Robo scams

Jingle hell: Scam calls hit record levels in 561 area code this holiday season

Nothing annoys me more than robo calls or some live solicitor who wants my money.  I definitely get more of these calls on my land line than I do on my cell phone and I don't have caller ID. I find myself screaming into the phone at a recording! Registering with the Florida Do Not Call has brought no relief and things are worse than ever. Why can't these calls be stopped?
