Re: Reporting calls

I've given up reporting the "recent accident" phone calls. I think most of them originate in India and are basically scams and the ICO has no power to do anything about them. The first part of the call is automated and is from a pleasant sounding woman with an English accent. If you continue with that you get put through to an Indian call centre. I either wind them up with a non-existent accident or ask them to confirm that they like a big stiff cock up their arse. The number of such calls has diminished considerably. I swear one such caller dropped a cup of coffee based upon a clattering noise followed by cussing on the other end of the line, which wasn't aimed at me and more towards some sort of mishap at his end.
