'Amazon' keep calling me on my landline about my Prime subscription. Not Amazon at all but someone else who wants me to give over my bank details. AS IF!!

I forgot to say, @Cleoriff and @TallTrees - the calls I have been getting are about "HMRC", a pending legal case and my attendance at the "county courthouse".... the call was reattempted at around lunchtime again today, but I had blocked that number on my mobile - so I don't know where the call ended up!

I looked up the phone number that called this afternoon all linked to 020 rest of numbers vary slightly ~ @pgn and @Cleoriff
Some people saying told needed access to router to update security press 1 etc.
Others saying that your bank card has just been used in a foreign country press 1 etc.
HMRC was one too.
Ridiculous

And both Landline (yeah, we still have one, provisioned through the Broadband though!) and Mobile are registered with the TPS, Telephone Preference Service - we get less on Landline now, but having had to register my Mobile for a couple of reasons lately seems to have pushed the robocalls to it through the roof in the last few days.
And yes, TPS only cuts down unwanted Sales cold-calling if the cold-calling company itself agrees to abide by the TPS standards.

On the topic of cold-calling, my most successful wind-up of the caller was good, but this is comedy gold 🤣
