Re: Do not call list for Scammers?

Either they are running really inefficient systems - or there are a lot of independent operators. I've resorted to verbally abusing them for the last year - and still they keep calling several times a week purporting to be BT or Microsoft.

I fill in the BT "scam" page entry - but I suspect all that has done is elicited a genuine BT sales pitch about subscribing to their spam call filtering services.

Do BT do anything with those submissions. It would be nice to think they do some correlation to identify origins of such calls - or at least automatically block the false CLI in future.
