OK Theres a BT srvice which blocks all the calls you register I believe . BUT naturally it has to be paid for.
We get cycles of calls from India , must be on an automatic programme , so many sometimes that the answerphone is on permamently . Flag up as "International". They mostly cut off as soon as the answerphone kicks in . These days , 99% of work calls are on the cellphone so we rarely pick up . Its become 2nd nature now to not pick up , people we know usually shout " Hello its me " on answerphone.
The calls are nearly always from Indian guys with English names who open up with " 'ello ...Mr Eeeeevens , my name is David from Microsoft "
I do feel that more vulnerable folk may fall for these scams and elerly people are very trusting ......possibly giving control of computer to them .
