Do you live in the U.S.A? Does the spammer live in the U.S.A? If so,
then I suggest you get on the national "Do Not Call" list. If they
persist in calling you, then you can get (a) money and (b) criminal
charges filed against them.
Won't help with the SPAM much, but should cause the phone calls to
taper off.
