[" go to the FTC’s National Do Not Call Registry site, you’ll see it simply says, “Due to the government shutdown, we are unable to offer this website service at this time.” This of course means it’s impossible to add a new number to the list.

But that’s a list that legitimate operations respect. The type of spammers that have been ramping up over the last couple years generally disregard that list. "]

this list is also used by spammers to create a list of valid phone numbers and they ignore the do not call part and robocall the list anyway.

I think it's time for us to fight back against these robocalls. I have just read an article about this topic at https://www.whycall.me/news/consumer-wins-massive-229500-rob.... People who have similar problems with robocalls (especially the ones which come from legit companies) might find this information useful.
