Country: United States
I am on the national do not call registry but I still receive many telemarketer calls from the 062 area code (062-270-9077 to mention one of them. What can I do to stop these calls?

They may be out of the US scammers, or they may be spoofing caller ids, or possibly out of country telemarketers selling for US based companies.
There may be a US nexus allowing FTC to take action, but without a trail of complaints, they will do nothing.
If the problem is that you have a level of calls that is becoming intolerably harassing, there are boxes from a number of companies that will divert your incoming calls to a message, and only allow them to ring through to your phones if the caller punches the correct access number. Autodialers used by telemarketers can't automatically understand your instructions on what access code to press, and they give up if they do not detect a person answering.
Alternatively, products like the Telezapper will play the "you have reached a disconnected phone number" tones, which autodialers often log and use to remove that number from further calls. You would have to answer the call and manually activate the unit, however.
This guy recorded his conversation with "Todd and Gary" from Credit Card Services. It's great! http://www.matthew4.com/
