    Contact your provider to block them - is this just from one number? Not the Indian tech companies?

    Call the local Police Station in the area of New York to report them.

    Comreg for this. I had issues with a auto dialler of sorts, virgin said they couldn’t do anything as it was originating from out of state. Called comreg and within 2 days, I had a phone call from virgin apologising and told me they blocked the number. My number was ex-directory at the time if that makes a difference as my number was not in any publication.

    Yes I'd go this route first, better they get a kick up the hole over there about it. Extra bonus points if they are there illegally or involved in something else dodgy that brings police calling to their door :D

    Probably best not to waste time and contact the FBI first.
