They are not necessarly interested in YOU or YOUR number. They just call A number. There are not so many of them, and spammers have time, and no real-time requirements (best effort does the job).

When somebody knocks on my door and wants to sell me apples (yes, they do), they don't want to sell ME apples, they want to sell SOMEBODY apples. That makes a huge difference.
