Hi,
I once got one who waited on the phone while I 'made dinner.' I came
back 90 minutes later, having forgot about, picked up the phone to
make a call and got 'Hello? Mr. English?' <div

Hi Trace,
I understand why you do that, but I see little point in using any
invective,
vulgarity or profanity against these people.
As far as they are concerned they are employees of a larger employer who
is
actually responsible for their efforts. While we recognise that what they
are doing is totally wrong, it may not be so in their view. They are just
earning a living.
My reaction when they do come through and I have the time is to see how
long
I can hold them on the phone without giving them any personal information
at
all. If I can then keep the line open for longer then the better it is.
It is their employers that the authorities need to get their hands on and
then confiscate all of their equipment, destroy it and then restrict
their
movements in the usual way for criminals.
Regards, John

We got a withheld number yesterday, and when I answered, this person
told
me
he was from Microsoft, and advised me to check my computer. Well I just
love this sort of thing, so I gave him a real mouthful which is not fit
for
repeating here. Sometimes I can give these scammers a wind-up, but I
didn't
have time for it yesterday, so he got an earful of abuse instead.
Wherever
possible, people should reveal their number, but those who are ex
directory
often won't.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

fair point, it's a difficult one in that case. I always tend to give my
mobile number to hospitals and doctors, at least if my phone reads out
that
it's with held I can choose to answer or just divert them to voicemail.
Most
medical centers do tend to leave voicemails.
cheers,
Mo.

Hi John.
I would block calls from international numbers and also calls from
with held numbers. Your provider should be able to do this. since i've
done this, touch wood we've not had any nusence calls.

Mo.

Hello list,me
I am not sure if this is off-topic, but I am sure the moderator will
let
know if it is.claim
I am registered with both the Telephone Preference Service and the
Mobile Preference Service which keeps the majority of nuisance calls
from hitting me. However I do still get a number of international
calls which do get through. That is, as I understand it, because TPS
and MPS only cover calls emanating from within the UK.
Both yesterday and today I have had a call from a withheld and an
international number that claims to be working on behalf of TPS. They
to have been notified by my phone supplier that I have been receivingas
international calls which turn out to be scams. After a few moments
of discussion with them and, of course, with no information being
given by me they have both abruptly hung up. In my view that proves
they were both scams.
So don't get caught by this new one.
I am aware that I can get things like call blockers and also units
