Abbafan1972 said:I don't know if anyone has had any "Election Canvassing" by phone, leading up to the elections? I got a call from a "no caller ID", stating that he was calling on behalf of the Conservative Party and asked me if I would be voting later (this was yesterday morning). I just said that I was busy at work and he went away then.
Seems they are resorting to phones now, as they can't knock on peoples' doors.
At the risk of being thrown out of MSE, I have to say I would've preferred that to be from a scammer than genuine
While I'm here, I think I should add that since we got the BT call blocker phone, we haven't had one scam phonecall - at least none that I know about, which is what counts.
Blu XXXI am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!

As a change from the usual BT ones they tried being from Virgin Broadband this morning - (surprising given the smaller customer base and the geographical restrictions that come with Virgin).1
