dorsetsmith, the amount of scam and spam phone numbers I reported to O2, they still didn't do anything about! I even had the same number ring back months later!
Our details are been stored on disc and sold off to the highest bidder man, some times I think the scammer gets a few quid just by you answering the phone.
One scam or spam operator got deafened by me, as they kept pestering me for most of the day. I even pretended I was my supervisor lol, Which ended the call straight away. Then they were pestering me again, an hour or so later. So I put the phone next the machine I was working at, and answered the phone. They sharp stopped lol, With the sound of the machines motors screaming, down the phone mic. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I usually tell them they are through to Buxton police station and I'd happily put them through the right department if they tell me which of the many PC's is infected.

I have saw a video on youtube, where a computer hacker, wiped every single computer on the scammers network. They tried to bull Censored him, but with his tricky bat file, you could see it working. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I have a football ref’s whistle by the phone for those that really annoy me.
Calls from Johnny Foreigner I sometimes play along to & then when I am asked about mobile phones l tell them that I think that they are the work of the devil.
I mean how can they work without wires joining up the other person you are speaking to?
They soon think they have a complete nutter on the line Laughing

Most of the rubbish calls are just recorded messages these days, but if my wife gets a 'human' on the other end of the line, she waits for them to run on for a bit, and then asks them whether their mother is proud of what they are doing? That usually gets them to end the call pretty quick.

Most get between 5-10 calls a day on an o2 mobile. Unless I know the number or they leave a message I never call back from the mobile. Very rarely are two numbers identical, but some are very similar with just a few digits changed. Also get a lot that look like landlines starting "01" and they seem to come from as far down as Devon and high up as Aberdeen plus everything in-between. Decided to phone all of them back with a starting pistol to hand, but every one was either "their is no such number" or an automated message "thanks for the call. Configure your numbers voice url to change this message".

O2 and Sky have got to be the worst offenders for giving your number to 3rd parties. BT isn't far behind. Recently moved house using Rightmove, put in sky and a new phone line. Cant remember the number of calls I got shortly after either trying to sell house insurance, sky box insurance, calls to join BTTV, etc, etc....My mobile is now just left on silent all the time!!

Reported it to O2 and they said they are aware of it but there nothing they can do. When my contract is up Ill change service provider, but then who can you trust these days?!?
