"This is bank security...." scam calls
My landline is plagued with incoming calls, which my phone shows as being from local numbers; when I answer a robot voice tells me they are bank security and there are various charges going out on my card and to press button 1 to talk to them about it. I assume that pressing the button would result in my being charged for the call so obviously I don't do so. As the scammers appear to be calling from different numbers on the local exchange it is not as simple as simply blocking a particular number, and I don't want to set up a system where some genuine callers get blocked. Does anyone have any constructive suggestions as to how to stop these calls getting through ?
