No message is left and I don't give out my Land-Line number out generally. (don't answer numbers mostly I am unaware of as I get a different ring-tone)

    Don't answer the phone to strangers.

    Block the number.

    ??

    I've had to answer the phone to a number of "strangers" that are doing work on my behalf that have been commissioned by my solictor/mortgage lender etc for house moving related stuff.
    Never answering an unknown number doesn't always work as a policy!

    I did, in fact, answer to an accident claim scammer attempt that happened to fall inside my "expect randoms" period but they were soon brushed off :D

    The whocallsme site is pretty good, so +1 for that post!

    These blighters are still ringing!

    Why they can't get the idea/message I am not going to answer!


    What gives them the right to keep ringing day after day!

    I don't understand why you haven't just answered the phone. Then you can see what they want, and tell them to stop ringing.

    Am I missing something ?

    I get lots of calls from banks for someone who doesn't live here. They are only becoming less frequent, because I ask them to take my number off their system.

    Er! Just my opinion, but you could just this little eensy tweensy once, try picking the phone up and asking them??:)

    These runts could leave a message, that's the point of an answer phone, if it were that important.

    There's a danger more calls could come in after they sell on your number as live or suchlike.


    I am on the TPS register so that should be enough.

    If I ring someone, and get an answerphone, I put the phone down. I just don't like talking to machines.

    You on the other hand seem to not like talking to humans.
