What do you do about these pests? I get a series of calls every night

We have ATT's U-verse and can block such calls, BUT only 20 of them so these A-holes keep faking new numbers.
Once in a while, I'll answer (with caller ID blocked):
"Federal Trade Commission. How may I direct your call?"
This unexpected reply creates a pause on the other end before they start into their worthless spiel.
"This is an office of the US federal Government. Who do you want to talk to?"
CLICK!




I also use AT&T , thus far I have not reached the limit or 20


I have also signed up for nomorobo

Between the two virtually all nuisance calls have been blocked.
