Summary: 

There is a place you can write to get off the "phone lists".  This will
help with some of the calls, anyway.  I don't have the information here,
unfortunately.

I can almost always tell the "junk calls".  My wife kept her maiden
name, so when I answer the phone, and the caller says "Mr. Gibson?",
it's usually a junk call.  Sometimes we get a "Gibson" call, and then a
"Thomas" call almost immediately afterwards.  They must have some sort
of list sorted by phone number (with name as a subkey).
