    Thanks to Mr Snowden we now know that the US spooks monitor all calls anyway. Surely the NSA could put their technology to good use to come down on these guys like a ton of bricks.

    Send them off to Guantanamo, and improve all our lives at a stroke?

    The Yanks are paying the idiot callers anyway. Probably gets them a better deal on their phone network access tech because the contract's based on volume....
  • If I get a call, I ask them where did they get my number from.
    Your number is just that; a number. The telepests start from <code>000000 and work their way to <code>999999 so they are bound to hit yours somewhere on the way.
