After the number of nuisance calls my phone system was blocking, fell
to almost no calls, there has been a sudden increase in their number
in the past few days. 10 such calls yesterday blocked, all supposedly
from different spoofed numbers.

They do like to waste their time.

Apparently my Internet service is compromised! Recorded announcement
so I suppose the only cost is the call charge.

I have also had a few 'This is Microsoft Technical' calls from India
recently and after dispatching one (who was fairly persistent), also had
the 'This is BT Technical, your line is compromised' recorded message
with a press 1 or 2 option.


Never respond to these!


pressing '1' can connect you to a premium rate call number.


That sounds unlikely... Got any supporting evidence?
