How long has your number been on the no-call list? We have a similar thing in the UK but it takes ages to have an effect. Months to a year.
I deal with the issue by wasting as much of the scam callers time as I can. It seems to be the best way to get my number removed.
I usually say "I'm Mr Smith's personal assistant, this sounds like something he should discuss with you. Please hold the line." And then stick them on mute and forget about it.
With the right words and intonation you can get some of them to stay on the line for AGES.
