I`m in England and I`m ex-directory but on almost a daily basis I`m bombarded with un-solicited calls...often they are from foreign call centres and I havent a clue what they are saying....

    Answer every call as

    "Agent 527 of Scotland Yards"

    When they don't say anything for awhile say

    "This line is for information of the homicide last night do you any? Not answering though...(whisper) okay tracing of call almost complete, boys we have a possible lead...."

    They'll quit calling after they realize they'll be implicated or connected.

    OR

    Answer, "Anti-Spam Lawyers, Inc. -We've never lost a case ever and won millions in class action suits, how may I direct your call..."

    Change your phone number again. Also you can buy phones that block unwanted calls, I think Radio Shack also sells something like the tele-zapper.

    I know in America there is a do-not-call list, but I don't know about England though.

    Whenever they call just simply tell them to take you off their call-list.

    That should work.

    Go to, DONOTCALL.COM and register your phone number. You can register up to 3 numbers.
