I am being harrassed by calls that are elegidly from sky network. They ring from various land line numbers including local dial codes. I block everytime but they just ring off another one .Ive told them to remove my details but I must now have had over 60 calls over the last 6 weeks.

how can I stop them ??

Turn your phone off.

Basically you can't stop them...

@MrsK1 Depending on what phone you have you may be able to setup call screening, that way any numbers not saved in your contact list will be required to tell the screening service their name which is then played back to you, you can then either decline the call or answer and it may cause the scammer to remove your number if they are not getting through.

You can find out if its availble on your device by running a Google search(or any other search engine).

I do something similar to this, any number that tries to call me that isn't in my contacts list will not set my phone ringing so scam callers have no chance of getting me to answer them.
