Here in Australia we have the do not call register.
https://www.donotcall.gov.au/
If you list your number here you should expect to stop receiving calls within around 6 weeks ... apparently there's a little lag time.
Also, if you receive calls from overseas they are obliged to comply with our laws.
Recently I have had a spate of prank calls, telemarketers, even tradesmen wanting to come to my house to do repairs all courtesy of some low lives enjoyment.
With internet it's easy for anyone to get your email and subscribe to anything they like ... however I have kept a whole folder of these, documented the calls, a forwarded the whole shebang to the cops.
The interesting part was one of my phone numbers harassed was a private mobile number only a select few people had.
Just thought I'd start a thread more for awareness and if any members here are finding themselves receiving spam or emails etc I'd appreciate if you could let me know so we can pull records to nail the low lives. On this forum these details are hidden .... however if you reply to a received email you automatically disclose yours.
One of the things I'm proud to say about this forum is the the people we keep out. If you are pestered, harassed or intimidated by any member let me know, this is a secure place for professionals not spam junkies and low lives with nothing better to do.
