Dnk Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I keep getting a pre recorded scam call, i've set up BT 1572 to bar it and it can't because it doesn't recognise the number FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 On your house or mobile phone? I used to get heaps of scam calls to my mobile. Just kept blocking the numbers and it died down. I don't even have a house phone anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJJ Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Register your number on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Then anyone who calls tell them you're registered on the service and that they're committing an offence calling you. Ask to be removed from their call lists. Eventually it should die down.

Would that work as this isn't sales or marketing ? It's pre recorded scam call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJJ Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Would that work as this isn't sales or marketing ? It's pre recorded scam call Even if it's a pre-recorded message, they are still getting your details from a database somewhere I would have thought. So if you register your numbers with TPS it makes it illegal for them to obtain your details and call you. I'd give it a go, costs nothing and you have nothing to lose. Once you've registered with them, call the company who keeps calling you and tell them to remove your details as you're on the TPS and it's illegal for them to pester you. Plus they must conform to GDPR regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep getting annoying scam calls 3 times a day and all it says on the display on the phone is Internet, if you answer it’s totally silent and the line cuts of a few seconds later! How would the TPS thingy work on this type of call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
