stop nuisance calls ?

[Phakameza]

How do I stop these %*&^% phone calls from some idiot telling me my computer is faulty and he wants to fix it.? I do say I don't have a computer but I keep getting calls.

Yes, it is a scam. My mum-in-law had some of these calls about a year ago, but thankfully she gets in such a tizz over her computer that she asked them to call back later when her son would be here. They didn't, of course.

I found this article about how the scam works:

You could try telling them that nuisance calls are a criminal offence and you're calling the police. That might work
