Anybody using nomorobo.com to block scam phone calls?

We've been getting those stupid scam phone calls regarding Windows, but in the middle of the night!! They're waking us up and really ticking me off! They use different numbers, so I can't block them. I finally called Comcast to ask for advice and they suggested nomorobo.com. Does it work? I'm so agitated at being awakened in the middle of the night with their crap!

I get as far as where Nomorobo attempts to call my #, finalizing the set-up. My phone never rings and I'm alerted my phone isn't protected.

Yes. I am absolutely on a supported carrier.

It's blocked so many calls that I've lost count.

You can see the phone light up like a call is coming in and it just goes away. Usually it doesn't even ring once.

It simultaneously rings you and them and when they detect a robocall they answer it.

I am pleased with it. Same sort of thing as nomorobo. I freakin HATE those stupid spam callers.
