Increase in Spam Calls that spoof UK numbers. (Diesel claim, robocalls)

BrAinZ

Over the last few weeks I’ve started to get unwanted spam phone calls to my mobile on Three. I’ve had the occasional one previous, but now I’m getting 5-6 per day.

All the numbers “look” legit, as if they are from numbers in various towns around the UK. The few that I have answered (as I was expecting real calls back) have almost certainly been from call centres abroad, despite the UK numbers showing.

Sometimes when I’ve answered, the phone just goes dead, so obviously robocalls. One call was obviously from a foreign call centre abroad but started talking about diesel claims.

I thought that network providers were supposed to block calls from abroad that spoof UK numbers?

Anyone else having this problem?

Any solutions?

PS. I have registered my number with the TPS service a few years ago.
