I'm getting seriously fked off with offshore cold callers. I work from home a lot, and have had these persistent scumbags calling me about 5 times a day. The number is 0203154841.

They are clearly fraudulent scumbags, it's always the same number but on one call it's allegedly Nationwide, then it's BT, then it's Consumer UK. Obviously being offshore, TPS won't work, and telling them not to call back as I will not speak to them is pointless. As is calling them scumbag pieces of fking st who should just fk off, and when they've finished fking off they should fking well fk off over there instead before fking off a bit more for good fking measure and NEVER EVER fkING CALL ME EVER fkING AGAIN YOU fkING fk!

As someone with a career in sales I suppose I've nothing against the odd honest cold caller who doesn't lie about their name or why they are calling, and who removes me from lists if I ask. But with these aholes I really, really want to hear in the news that their fraudulent fking call centre has been accidentally hit by slightly off course ship full of Aliens, hopefully followed by some really angry, hungry Predators too!

Virgin Media who I am with do not have any kind of call barring feature...who does these days? Looks like Sky has a "ban the last number who called" PIN enabled feature...does it actually work?

Ignoring it, answering it and hanging up, and screening it are not really options, as the phones around the house will still ring, invariably when I am on some important conference call on the work phone.

Some good gadgets there and those BT DECT phones look OK, I suspect that will be the route forward. And rather than getting wound up every time, I will now look forward to calls from these twunts so they can get sin binned!

Woohoo!

I must admit, even as the OP, for the "accident you had in the last few years calls" I usually say "oh, the malfunctioning lightsaber", "when Lewis took me out at Becketts", "when I was in a 4g inverted dive and I gave the bogey the bird, you know, the bird" or when a colleague of mine "re-configured the warp core and ejected the dilithium crystal drive without telling me first" and have a bit of fun...
