Since I fitted a set of phones with the TruCall call filter system, the

I don't really understand why - most of these callers just ring and play
a recording anyway, so the callers would not even be aware their calls
have been blocked. Which rather suggests that something has been done
nationally to put a stop to these callers.

I don't want to tempt fate, bjut it's been quiet with me for the last
couple of weeks (I'm almost missing the sport). I put it down to
anonymous call reject, and being careful about who gets my number(s).

I also put it down to being on some "do-not-call-this-number-he-is-a
wind-up-merchant' list that is placed prominently on the wall of the
Indian boiler-rooms and call-centres (a.k.a. 'Microsoft support').
