scam texts and calls

Anonymous — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:45:52 GMT

I keep getting texts and calls from the following numbers: 07860021554, 07778562955, 07796233986. regarding debt, ppi and an accident I have never had. what I want to know is, how do I block these texts and calls, (more texts than calls) free of charge. I never call or text them back as I know that they are scammers and when you contact them they know they have a live number and can access details if you contact them in any way. Please can anyone help me to stop these nuicance texts and calls....

Nothing else you can do, even changing your numberwill be a waste of time.
