Spoofed calls

[rolando]

I run a small business from home and regularly receive calls from call centres trying to sell me utilities, fix my computer, tell me my credit card has been used to make transaction etc. I get business from calls so I don't want Call Safe to act as a barrier to this.

Each time I get a spoofed call I block it although the system only stores 100 numbers and I have to regularly clear it.

Last summer OFCOM announced that telephone companies would have to take action to stop spoofing of calls from foreign call centres using UK numbers, this action had to be taken by 29th January.

Can you update me on what TalkTalk is doing about this as I haven't seen any improvement.

Thanks

Hi, have any of the support staff got an update please?

It's 9:35 on 29th January and I have just had a call from a foreign call centre using a spoofed UK number.

Ok thanks. Wait for support staff to get round to your thread for a response 

I've tried googling but can find no updates from any suppliers so no idea what's happening.
