In the recent weeks, the amount of bogus calls (from HMRC etc.) has increased on a massive rate. I am getting in range of 2-3 calls a day. 

 

I do report them to HMRC phishing email everytime i recieve them. 

 

Not sure if i am being an idiot but with such advanced technology available to companies like O2; its shocking that such thing still happens.

 

So i do block the numbers on phone when i get the call and report them to HMRC. Anything else i can do apart from changing the number?
