We’ve had two today as well. Second one I didn’t say anything when I answered and it went off :-| |

About a day after we had one of those calls - we lost the internet! Gave us a good laugh. There was a local problem, probably following a power cut. |

I've no idea if they are listening but I shouted SCAM loudly just in case before putting the phone down. |

I just had 'HMRC' telling me I owed tax, and the police were on their way. |

Well OpenReach is busy with doing away with the PSTN in favour of an all ip service. This is due to be implemented by 2025. One of the advantages claimed by OpenReach is that it will make the current phone scamming impossible ( trans. more challenging ). Hull and Virgin are doing the same. |

I can see Open Reach actually managing to install my brother's line just on the deadline! |

We had four yesterday, but they were automated calls, so I couldn't say anything - rude or otherwise! :-( |
