Does anyone know how to block telemarketers from anonymous numbers?
Post Body

About once a week for the past year and half, I'm getting a telemarketer calling my cell phone from an anonymous number with the same people with indian accents asking me if I need any pharmaceuticals.

I answer (even though 95% of the time I know its baloney) as because the phone system at my old job (a university I'm still affiliated with) has my cell # and they disabled caller id for outgoing calls.

My cell is on the US gov't do not call list. I've asked them repeatedly to take me off their list (politely; angerly; explained I do not need pharmaceuticals and would never buy from a telemarketer out of principle; etc.)

Can I contact Verizon and get them to block/report whatever call center is calling my #?
