Scam Calls from this code 3885

A question. We all get scam calls from time to time. However, during the last six months I have been receiving calls from this code +44 20 3885 xxxx. I was just wondering if any of the forumers have received similar calls. Because it is prefixed by +44 then the calls have been coming from outside the UK. Also in order to stop further calls, what can I do, if anything.

    +44 is a UK number though. 
    It's how we give out number to people in other countries. You should be able to block the number by using the (i) next to the number and blocking it. :)

    3885 isn't part of the code, it's the first 4 digits of the number. The code is "20" which is London when using the +44 prefix.
