 Phone Scam - Falkirk Bairn
I have Sky telephone & BB - they have Sky Shield to filter calls.

You put in everybody you know and others have to answer with their name etc - your phone rings - you accept or cut them off.

I was having scam calls everyday, sometimes multiple calls.

Now roughly 4 years and they all give up - no scam calls. I was on the SKY account for another reason yesterday. 2 x scam calls but they gave up and my phone did not ring.

The only problem is on day 1 - trying to get everybody you know in - everybody seems to have work, work mobile(s), mobile, house etc etc. Any number you register gets straight through.

Ideal if you, or your relatives, are plagued - I am sure other phone companies have similar call blocking - no extra charge for this on Sky.
