Slight UK variation on the theme...
These scam calls send a false number but do not usually clone a legitimate number.
A quick internet search usually reveals more information.
However, recently I have found that searches increasingly result in a nil return.
I have formed the distinct impression that they generate a false number for each call.
A grade one pain in the arse.
