Have you taken a Virgin phone line? The number could already be on several scammer calling lists.

My own phone line has been in the TPS for years but there is definitely an increased number of unwanted calls over the past 18 months, first from tatty little UK operations who either don't care about the TPS or who somehow think I'll be delighted to hear from them so long as they are legitimately 'marketing' rather than 'sales' calls. Then there's the increased number of calls from overseas which are pretty hard to stop without a blanket block on calls with no CLI.
