We don;t answer any of the calls but let the phone ring a few times before the answer machine kicks in, at which point the remote dialler predictably disconnects. That said though, having never answered any of these calls, our phone number continues to be rung by the same scammers every day (though thankfully, never at night).


That would because the answering machine answering the call counts as the call being answered (call connected) from the perspective of the calling party.  "Not answering" means letting the call ring out until the caller drops the call.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

The 1572 service is pretty useless. You can block numbers until the cows come home, they just pick new ones.

With respect, @Lwio , that is not the fault of the 1572 service.

I never mentioned fault I was just describing the current usefulness of it.
