Yep.
There's no way to really stop them. The Do Not Call registry is a joke - it's super easy to get around that.
Plus with number portability (both VOIP and mobile phones) and the fact that ANI numbers can be spoofed easily means there's really no way to stop it. They can just rotate through phone numbers in your local or neighboring exchange.
