E.G. Buy from Argos, the receipt details for warranty to them also give tel no or email automatically allows them permission to market sell to you or you have no warranty except at common law. I report to ICO every scam call after finding details by 1471. No silent calls and fraud as they are in different UK Gov depts.. Note only 'data' is if you are on telephone preference list "do not send marketing stuff". As some scammers can change 'supposed calling from number "for every call made", a list is almost useless. If caller number is withheld, than no number to report. PS you can stop ALL calling from number withheld calls at your phone provider,BUT it will also stop all working from home legitimate calls from UK Gov, HMRC, NHS, medical practices. We have this blocked and it took many months to sort our a HMRC problem as they could not call us back You can also stop all incoming foreign calls, but that does not stop foreign calls made via a UK base (internet computer in UK) relayed call. ICO only publish when they fine companies or firms and then on irregular basis -- Regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
