If you are living within the U.S.A. you should have this number to call to stop those telemarketers calls. You have the rights to not receiving any of those calls to your phone. If you have landline, you can call your local phone company to stop those telemarketer's calls though.

Honestly, I have had issues with telemarketers in the past but this sounds ridiculous and is very bad that you have had to go through it. But I offer you this suggestion: Calling your phone provider and asking for a number block for that number or if it is possible to change your home phone number which is definitely an undesirable result. However I hope you solve this issue.
