You can get call blocker devices, that rejects or screens calls from numbers not pre-approved.  It may be worth investing in one.  Trading Standards teams in some areas will issue them where there is a pattern like this, so contact your MIL's local authority in the first instance and if they can't help, buy one yourself.

I'm an OAP.

What is 'any hint of power-selling to an OAP'?
