Do Not Call protection in New York
New York formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.
Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Where do the calls reported in New York come from?

Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in New York may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a New York number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
