I have noticed a sharp increase in these, presumably, spoofed numbers but as far as I know TPS can do nothing as they usually come from abroad or are being generated by spammers using auto-diallers.

To vet these unknown numbers I direct them, plus any unknown mobile numbers, to our answer phone as my husband and I are often contacted by our medical teams who seem to use various phones to ring us and we can't risk missing a call.

I do wonder if just by letting these calls, most of which are spammers, go to our answer machine is showing that the number they dial is active leading to even more spam calls.
