how can i stop all these silent calls i get on my landline phone

i keep getting calls on there and they wont talk and keep calling , i block their number and they still call, im getting to the point where i cant even go to the bathrm and they call, i reported it to the donotcall list im on but they still call, any suggestions? i take off the phone when im sleeping, i answer it thinking it could be something important, will not answering it help me get less calls? do i need to report it to the police?

I keep receiving them too, both silent calls and recordings telling me of criminal use of my bank card.

Whether you can report them and to whom I don't know - we live in different countries so would probably have different systems - but the would-be phishers and fraudsters keep changing their own numbers, e-post addresses etc., to get around blocks.

Don't leave your phone off the hook, as that looks like a fault to the service company; but don't have your 'phone in your bedroom either, anyway.

Ignore nocturnal calls - it might reduce the number of them. A genuine caller, perhaps a relative, will leave a message if you have that facility.
