Thank you. Of course we are on the TPS. That's probably why we get so few UK cold calls. But the backstreet Indian call centres who are nothing but a scam are hardly going to pay attention to it. I don't know how some people are in the Uk are avoiding them. I always assumed they just cycled through every number in the country.
- tialaramex 7y agoI don't have an answer, just anecdata, nobody I know who still had a UK landline gets these calls. Text spam, occasionally, on their mobile, but actual robocalls, or live unsolicited marketing don't happen. Pretty sure cycling through every number would get you dropped by anybody in that business. In terms of flagging yourself for attention it's like you spray-painted "Crack for sale here, no cops please" on the side of your drug warehouse. Dialling random numbers will have way too high a ratio of uncompleted calls versus anyone with an actual list of actual contacts, it would take a phone company IT person ten seconds to find out which of their customers is doing that and "suggest" they go elsewhere. Much more likely they work from a "sucker list" vetted to weed out people like my 20-year old housemates last century who will just lose you money. That would explain nobody I know getting calls. So, I guess maybe you're just unlucky? No more help here I'm afraid -shrug-
