I worked in the cell phone industry for years. I don't feel like I need to clarify that they are scam calls, but the reason for continuing to get them is due to people that actually listen, believe and pay these crooks. They are extremely successful at what they do. If you fire 100 bullets at least 5 will hit the mark.
From what I understand there is no way to stop them. If you block that number, it will only come from a different number later. The local number that you are receiving a call from is an actual cell number to someone. The number is being cloned and used to make the call unbeknownst to the authorized user of the number. The more laws put in place to stop things like this only make the offenders become smarter and use different techniques.
