anyone else getting spammed by some fkn recorded message about getting a free boiler or an electric car charge point? i'm effing sick of them, just had 2 w/in an hour. the number is w/held so i can't block it, so i've registered a complaint at ICO.
 
I never answer witheld or no caller id numbers as its generally ppi or something to do with selling !
If they need to get hold of me they'll either show me a number or get ignored.
 
I once got a call from someone starting they were from Microsoft and if I paid them $200 they would remove the virus I had. I let them give their talk then told them " I work for Microsoft anti fraud department and this call has been traced" the line went dead and I have never received another call. I use it on any dodge calls I get, it always works :)
 
The trick is dont say anything when you get calls from an unknown or withheld number, they are all voice activated and if you dont say anything in the first 5 seconds, it cuts off. This is obviously for call centres, for recorded calls, you just have to hang up im afraid.
