i am sick of these evil people phoning my Mum! My sister popped round to see Mum today and found her on the phone to someone, trying to give them the numbers on the back of her bank card. Luckily I had scratched these numbers off so the caller was getting annoyed with mum who couldn't find the numbers. My sister took over the call, was told they were a company called Call Guardian who will block unwanted phone calls for a one off fee. They said they needed the numbers from the back of the card to verify Mums identity. When my sister started to argue otherwise, they got snotty and hung up! It was really obvious that Mum was confused but they just carried on. Mum already pays her phone provider to block withheld numbers but this company used a phone number which was unrecognisable when my sister tried to call them back. Sneaky burgers!
It's only a few weeks since we registered the LPA with Mums bank and found that she was paying a monthly direct debit to another such company - we immediately cancelled the debit!
I have investigated call blockers but cannot find a suitable one that does not require Mum to press a block button or works with an old fashioned phone with three extensions, most seem to only work with wireless type phones. I am currently looking at True Call but there are some questions that I need to clarify to be sure it will work as I found the manual instructions too confusing for my tired brain!
Does anyone here use one for their pwd?
Does anyone have any advice of what we can do?
