What a pathetic country we live in. Just had yet another purported call from my ISP to say they have been trying to get in touch with me and unless I press 1 now my internet connection will be cut off because of illegal activity on my service.
This isn't somebody offering rip-off service, it's attempted theft, as are the two SMS's I have had from "Lloyds" this week about new payees being set up on my bank account.
I got a new landline in our rented house in 2019 which I have not given to anybody and literally the only people who call that number are criminals
Do any of these people ever get their collars felt? Are they all abroad and beyond reach? What about the networks allowing them to continue, it must be possible to eradicate the calls even if criminals can't be locked up? How difficult can it be to catch them via the bank accounts they are transferring people's money to?
Herts Constabulary are forever issuing warnings about this. Have they caught anybody? Are they even trying? Do we just have to accept this as we do the weather?
