If I blew a whistle down the phone and the caller wanted to make an issue of it, they'd have to identify themselves. Of course, I'd just deny it. A crossed line or fault, I assume.

There is also the advantage of cheap labour, of course.

Re: phone scams (long explaination)
I have, today, received yet another phone call of the type I receive regularly.An American voice assures me that my IP address (or something) has been compromised and that they are going to close down my internet connection for security reasons. She then advises me to press 1 to speak to a technician which, of course, I never do.
This has been going on for months and my internet connection has yet to be shut down.
It is very annoying because there will be some old people(!) who believe every word and, consequently, will end up losing thousands of pounds in the process.
I'm sure that there could be much more done about these criminals but, unfortunately, our wonderful Mrs May seems more concerned about plastic bags and African dancing.
