caller claiming to call from the drivewaycentre about an ongoing isuue with my driveway. he kept talking over me as I was asking him questions. Eventually I asked him where he had my number from. He hung straight up then. These spam calls are very annoying when you are trying to work in home office. some days I get more than one a day. I immediately get these numbers blocked by BT. Call BT on 1572 and follow the menue to block nuicance calls.
