  • Enable Caller ID on your line if you don't have it at the moment (free with the privacy option but it will mean a new 12 month contract) and use a phone with an answer machine. Train your partner to let any international or unrecognised number to go through to the answer machine - they always just hang up.

    BT have a free BT Call Protect in your members page.
    BT call blocker phones work very well .Works best as a whitelist but you do need caller display and it is £1-75 pm or free .

    Problem is these calls are from professional overseas criminals .Get a call on xxx number today and BT block then they use yyy number next week to call.Next week same guys on zzz number will tell you he is from Microsoft .

    The BT Call Protect system has been shown to be ineffective and with significant flaws. It's barely worth the price (it's free).

    Latest now is scam BT Business phishing emails .Just be careful as its easy to get caught .
    Like the scam phone calls you can report to your email provider whoever that is .
  • Sky Talk Shield works well. Other telecom companies probably have something similar. https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-talk-shield-explained

    Sky Talk Shield is very effective. It seems to work in a similar way to the trueCall system.
