    The latest Apple IOS has a new function called “silence unknown callers’, makes your life must easier as you just divert crank calls, the numbers are recorded and you can see them in your recent list.

    2 calls today, from 087 numbers.
    If I pick up and don't say anything the automated voice starts anyway.
    Blocked and set as spam.

    I have to pick up as I do get calls from mobile numbers in my business. I can't restrict to phonebook.

    Snap!

    I missed a call earlier from an 087 number which I think is a scam, just answered a call from a different 087 number and got the start of an automated message. I didn't listen long enough to find out what imminent danger I'm in and the number is now blocked.

    This is going to get old very quickly.

    Not to worry, I also received an email from a very nice gentleman who needs my help to retrieve his dead engineer client's money from the bank before the bank confiscate it.

    Bloody bankers stealing dead people's money! :mad:

    I got at least 10 this week and my colleagues got similar number of calls.

    At some point we were worried that there was a breach of data in the company we work for.

    Reading all the above this seems to mass random attack.

    Some numbers were too short to even think that it's real, some looked legit.

    Annoying.
