Annoying Phone calls

[zebedy1967]

Over the last few months i have been receiving these annoying phonecalls.

 

Some indian person calls me at home they dont even say hello but start with

im speaking to (Insert my name) and you live at (insert my address) your 47 years old.

 

As soon i ask them who they are they just hang up. It just seems weird to me that they would state my personel details and i find it rather intimidating. are they trying to get more information out of me to steal my identity or something like that ?

 

 

Im registered with TPS, is there anything else i can do to stop these ###kers from calling me

[postmn]

not really because they are probably calling from one of the call centers in india etc.

We don't suffer with this sort of call any longer. We bought some BT call blocking phones, (not expensive) and now receive no international calls nor a multitude of other call center numbers, when they ring you press the block button and that number can no longer get through.

The silence is deafening

Think im going to have to get one of those, I dont mind being deafened by silence

We have the excellent BT8500,

 

This gives you complete control over who you want to get through, you can set up the telephone to block, announce or allow through all calls, withheld, international, unavailable etc.

 

A twin set is approx. £60 but well worth it, they are even cheaper if you look around online.

I always answer the landline phone as follow:

"Hello, emergency services. What service do you require?"

They always hang up.

When is someone I know we have a password: "F... Off!"

And then we start talking
