We subscribed to TPS several years back too, Imran. It did make a very
noticeable differen ce at the time but recently it does seem as if the
number of calls is increasing again - not just the 'Your PC is at risk'
scam calls we are talking about there, but also silent call-centre
autodiallers, double glazing, 'surveys', and most recently a rash of
compensation/reclaim 'services' and energy-grant claim offers. Almost
always number-withheld, but obviously some of these are from the UK.
Sorry, that does not really help answer the original question - just a wee
rant really.
