Is This A Scam Call?
15 Answers
Just been to my mums and while there she got a call asking if she was having problems with unsolicited phone calls (she does) they then said that they could put a stop to that and it would only cost here 55p a week. I told her to put the phone down (it was on loudspeaker) as it sounded like a scam.
I dont have a landline, so dont get unsolicited calls, but this didnt sound right.
Can anyone advise, thanks

They Are trying to get her to pay for a service you can get for free.
I had this call, told them I don't get nuisance calls as I am signed up with BTs free call blocker service and that soon got rid if them.
Once they knew they wouldn't be able to sell me anything, they were off to pester the next person.

Putting 'unsolicited calls 55p per week' into Google brings up loads of links about this, including this one:
