New simcard offer
My mother keeps getting what i believe to be scam phone calls on her mobile phone from Sky offering her a new sim card and 40% discounts.
The numbers start with a +44 and say they are from London.
My mother has early dementia and is easily confused and prone to these calls.
I often manage to intercept her calls but not always.
Does anyone else get these phone calls and should I report them to the authorities. Thanks

They do get reported on here almost daily, the numbers they show they are being called from can be spoofed so they are difficult to stop.
As you have posted this in the mobile forum if she does have a mobile have a look at the call settings to block unknown numbers, the only possible downside to this is that calls from places likes doctors and hospital might not get through if her phone has this feature and you activate it.
