When you feel you are getting phone calls about a scam, you should always call your local police first. They have a special number to call the wireless companies to do any investigating. They can also tell you which further steps you need to take.
Contact the National "Do Not Call Registry at the link below. They will stop most calls except for charities and government people. If you continue to get calls after signing up for the Do not call list, then report them, and try and get the phone number of sellers who called you. Caller id is good for getting the phone number of people who call you.
It is after 30 days of being added to registry that you can start making a complaint. These calls include automated message calls to your phone. To report the incident go to this government web address. https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2
Who do you report misuse of phone calls after you have signed up for no call list
You can report nuisance phone calls in two different ways. You can report them to the police, especially if they are dangerous in any way. You can also call the phone company and report them.
Report it to the phone company. Phone harassment is illegal. You can also talk to your local police dept. (don't call 911!)
If you are suffering from harassing phone calls you need to report them to your phone company's security department. Especially on cellphiones, YOU are paying for the incoming calls!

The service offered by DND online is the Do Not Disturb registry and it blocks unwanted phone calls. Certain calls can be blocked from one's phone number when the number has been registered with DND. It is a service that many regard as essential in blocking unwanted phone calls.
Phone calls in the middle of the night can be a wrong number usually. Other times it can be an international telemarketing call. If it continues try putting yourself on the do not call registry and see if they stop.
There is a website that you can go to and list your phone numbers to opt out of telemarking phone calls. It is the National Do no Call Registry webite that takes the information to opt out.
This registry is designed so that people can stop receiving annoying telemarketing phone calls at all hours of the day. The problem is that there are so many exemptions that it doesn't do much good.
To avoid unnecessary calls from telemarketers, register your number in the "do not call registry list" and to avoid the unnecessary calls from unknown numbers use call barring system and block those numbers.
