June, why not register your number with the Telephone Preference Service, that will stop cold calls, which is what this was. Just google it, its free. |

You can register online as well, I did. I registered my Mums number at the same time. |

If you register with the TPS it will stop some of the cold calling, but the trouble is most of them are coming from abroad now to get around our 'cold calling laws'. I've been plagued for months with them and according to BT there is not a thing they can do about it because they are not in this country! Mary |

I just ask them to hang on a minute, and then go for a shower or something. They're paying for the call after all, and they can't use their phone again until I hang up lol |

Unfortunately that is a downside, but at least it stops the UK calls, there will still be much less. |
