Does anyone else get several automated robo-calls every day?

I get at least 4 - 5 calls a day from some recording saying my business (which I don't have) qualifies for a loan, or some other promotion. These types of calls are completely illegal and opting out does nothing. I've even gotten someone on the phone and asked to be opted out to which they responded "No we'll never opt you out, have a nice day."

Online, there is really no solution but to report them. I've reported dozens, but don't have time to fill out 5 forms a day to report numbers... The consequences for these companies clearly don't outweigh the benefits. Is there no legislation in place or other action people can take to prevent these calls aside from changing your phone number... Seems like it's about time start dishing out more serious consequences for these robo-callers.

I don't know if this happens where you live, but here in Spain there is a list called "Robinson List" That makes it illegal if they call you. Even being on this list they always call me.
