Prevent scam mobile calls.

[bigun]

I keep receiving calls or texts from mobile phones where they keep asking why I have rang them (which I haven't) 

I block the numbers but am still averaging 5-8 calls daily.

Does anybody else have this problem and have you been able to prevent it.

Please advise

Depending where you are you can enable caller id and spam protection in Phone app settings. If not try Hiya or True Caller apps

I use Hiya,built in on Modern Devices. Go to phone-Settings,caller ID and Spam ptotection. can either Block all spam and scam calls or only High Risk.

The Hiya option is great for filtering Spam however, I suspect, the calls are because someone (a dodgy 'company' etc & likely not in the UK) is using software to spoof your number as being the one that they are calling from.
I had it previously & after a couple of days it stopped as they obviously 'burnt' my number and moved onto another.

My advise to you is to contact your service provider 1st and report this, they can offer to give you a new number to stop this. I have had to do this 1st hand and normally the service provider will offer it free to you.
