    Nuisance calls

    Ever since catching covid and being pinged by track and trace I've been inundated with nuisance phone calls for all kinds of things including investment in racehorses!!
    The cynical part of me thinks my details have been sold on by whoever is running the sham of track and trace..
    Anyone else had similar?

    I've found that happens anytime I've posted an ad on Gumtree - spam emails and nuisance calls (not from buyers!) for weeks thereafter. Hope it dies down for you

    I just don’t answer them. If it’s important they’ll leave a message

    If you’re using android download the google phone app, it blocks nearly all of them.

    Similar, although my immediate response is that if it’s important they can write to me

    I usually ignore them but if I'm expecting a call from a number that is not in my phonebook and am not sure, I pick up but don't say anything. Most nuisance calls disconnect automatically if no voice is heard. TPS also works well after a few weeks.
