When I get calls from numbers I don't recognize on caller ID or it says they're International I screen them with the answerphone, usually they ring off without leaving a message. If there is a UK number I Google it, several websites usually have lots of reports for common Scam numbers.

Had several calls recently from an East Grinstead code, reports on the web said this was a Microsoft scammer so next time I had a call from this number I replied & chatted to the Indian sounding guy for a few minutes then told him the number was being monitored by Hampshire Fraud Squad due to nuisance calls he rang off and haven't had any more since! :-)
