Thanks for bringing this to our attention Len. I've had some really annoying calls in my time - usually when I'm up to me eyeballs in something. I've kept saying I must get around to doing something about it but never did until you posted the thread on here.

I came across something else recently too which may interest people. If you are pestered by silent calls. This kind of thing:

The phone rings, you answer it. There's no response. You put the phone down and dial 1471 and it says the caller withheld their number.

You can stop this happening by phoning 0870 4443969 and registering your number with them. It will stop silent calls for 12 months and then you need to re-register.

I'm now off to hunt down Mail Preference Service to stop half a forest coming through my letterbox every day.
