In the US, get on the Do Not Call List. http://www.donotcall.gov/
Might help a little.
People prepared to commit fraud don't particularly care about the Do
Not Call List. If you can't get their phone number or company name
(they hang up or give you a bogus name when you ask), it's difficult
to report them. What I'd like is one of those *-codes to
automatically report a call, since the phone company has a much better
idea of who called than I do.
If they're cracking PBXs, it might not help much, though the PBX
owners could be fined for maintaining an attractive nuisance without
adequate security.
