    @Machpants My wife is often on call after work phone diverted so she feels she has to answer most calls and she gets the nasty Asian a lot.

    I used to be inundated though after each call I would add their number to my 'blocked' list. Either they have run out of numbers or the group that had my number has been shutdown because I haven't had a call in months.

    If in Oz you can put your number on here to stop the legitimate spammers.

    The trick in the UK was dialling you from an overseas 'pay per minute' number via a proxy. The pricks would set up that when you answered you were connected to the dodgy £20 per minute line. Luckily easy to spot as the call usually came from somewhere like Morocco or Libya. You just don't answer them.
    That decline button is handy

    @Crucial Yeah I have an app on my phone that tells me it is fraudulent but it still rings and they do occasionally leave a message. Just a nuisance that surely can be stopped with technology.

    I get Auckland number calls and they turn out to be an automated Asian woman talking about the ANZ bank. I've blacklisted a heap, but fark they are annoying.

    I use hiya on Android. After a few rings it pops up saying scam.

    I don't answer my phone unless I recognise the number. Leave a message fuckers or it just ain't that important
