Hi

I keep receiving a recorded Chinese msg 3 times a day. I block the 07 number but each day they call with a different 07 number. I ve blocked over 50 numbers. Is there a way to find the original number and block them. I do not speak Chinese and cannot recall the numbers

@Block-numbers 

The numbers are spoofed so you are just blocking genuine customer numbers and there's nothing that you can do to stop them.

I'm at the point of ignoring any calls that don't come from my contacts now, such is the level of spam going around.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Used to get a lot of them. They are generally all spoofed genuine numbers belonging to innocent people.

Can you do anything? No.

Not until the likes of OFCOM get off their backside

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
