There are loads available like whocalledme etc.

I always search the number in Google.I have been waiting for the nationjal crime agency to serve a warrant for months.

You can forward scam emails to the following email address:

report@phishing.gov.uk 

They will send you an automated reply to confirm they’ve received your email.

Suspicious text messages should be forwarded to 7726

(But don’t delete the suspicious message until you’ve made a note of the number, because 7726 will reply asking you for the number, and if you’ve already deleted it you won’t be able to find the number!)

You can report calls but I can't remember who to - just Google something like 'report scam phone call UK'.

IMO, whether you report them or ignoring them, those scammers will keep doing their job. However, if you report them or share about them like what you do now, more people will be aware of those spammers and be able to ignore, block, or report them. I also read about these NI scams at complaint boards like phonebook.ai since few weeks ago.
