Scam: "Global Investments" spam calls since Equifax?

Options
Odd question: is anyone else getting 2/3 calls a week from a (bad) offshore call centre punting "Global Investments Agency" or similar?

Noted they started the day after the Equifax scam went public...

    No. But these things are happening all the time. The fact the Equifax thing went public will be irrelevant since it happened, AFAICR, months or even years previously.

    Do you have the abilty to block that number ?Either that or take the calls*, and have long chats with them which is more likely to dissuade them from calling you again if you take up chunks of their time.

    *. “Hello, yes I have. Hang on a bit” ..... put phone down, wait 30 secs “sorry what did you say “. ... oh right, hang on some one at door “, put phone down for a minute ..... rinse and repeat.
