Phone spam.
Having been in possession of my new phone for less than a month I received the first spam call today.
On reflection I should not have answered given that the display showed 'No Caller ID' but I did, only to hear a recorded spiel inviting me to make a claim for miss sold Payment Protection Insurance which I don't have.
No doubt my number is now listed as a 'live prospect' so I can expect more of the damned things.
As my number is known only to a very few of my highly select social circle - stop laughing you lot - and not to any commercial interests, I assume that the originators of this telephonic pestilence just work their way through blocks of numbers hoping for a bite.
New penalties were announced yesterday to punish purveyors of this nuisance and while the TV reporter was concluding her piece on the subject, her own phone rang alerting her to a spam call. What else?
