SPAM CALLS

I am receiving a ridiculous number of calls and messages from people saying that I have just called them from all around the UK, I don't know what to do, recently transferred to ID mobile, so not sure if my details are being used, it is really frustrating as I am trying to run a business and in between calls I receive calls asking why I called them and I haven't.

How do I stop this?

Hi @Lydia Adams 

 

Unfortunately there wouldn’t be anything we can do on our side directly about this, we’d recommend the following link about spoof calling;

Hi there @CharlieS, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, there is no way for iD to stop anyone from calling/texting you I’m afraid.

 

We can only advise to block any numbers that are a nuisance or to ignore them. The only other solution would be to change your phone number with us, which costs £25.00 unless you get an action fraud reference from action fraud if that’s applicable to your situation.

 

I appreciate that’s not ideal, sorry about that Charlie.

 

Kind regards,

Tyler
