No Scam Calls

At least there is one good thing about this coronavirus.
 I haven't had a single scam phone call for the past two week.

    What about "I understand you were involved in an accident.....", "Your Amazon Prime Account will be debited......" "This is your bank calling......"?

    'I am calling from HMRC about your unpaid debt'?

    aww would love to get a scam call, so I can play with them, as I have nothing better to do at the moment.

    I've not had a single scam call to my land line in weeks, if I'd known all it took was a world wide pandemic I would have been cheering on the bond villains more.
    I did have a "you've been in an accident" call to my mobile last week, but just laughed.

    Me neither. I can't remember the last one whose number I barred and then passed on to Scammer Blaster to be call flooded. Don't get mad, get even.
