This is most important!
I fully concur.
I had unknown numbers / number withheld blocked at my phone provider.
Unfortunately when we went to lockdown, and my wife was in considerable
intercourse with HMG and HMRC they has set up ALL persons working from
home as all dialling out from withheld numbers.
Result no incoming HMG (FCO for me, HMRC for wife) calls received.
Local government did the same, to hide their staff's own home phone numbers.
Likewise our local surgery has all locums calling out on number withheld
numbers.
Yes, this way you injure yourself financially, medically, and hurt your
foreign correspondents.
But and I vouch for this blocking number withheld does not stop the
scammers.
