I'm getting about 2-7 calls a day from indians trying to run a medicare scam.

I've tried not answering the calls, hanging up on them, and generally ignoring them, but it's not working. Lately, I've taken to answering the calls and trying to waste their time, thinking that may get me off their list, but that's not working either.
What do?

This is quite possibly the best suggestion you've ever made.***

It got so bad I had to shut off all calls. And like you, I tried all options and nothing worked. They have slowed down based on the times when I turn back on calling, so I guess a month or two of voicemails got me moved to a less engaged list.
I don't know how carriers haven't been sued by State AGs for this crap.

I started calling back the numbers, but as you might expect, it was like Roulette. So you're not even wasting one person's time calling back 30 times in a row.
They've taken all the joy out of it.

doing it because they are forced to not for their own benefit. Many are scammed into traveling to a foreign country for a job and end up doing this crap, basically indentured servitude.
John Oliver did a great segment on it.
