It's a con to make you press 2 and pay money and I think they got the numbers from government sources like rent offices, town halls and voting information. We should be allowed to sue them for invading our privacy. I have no debts.

YOU are in complete control with this box; I have just ordered one and will be programming it up as soon as it gets here. Don't see why we should have to buy anything to stop the nuisance - but at the end of the day its worth something for the peace and quiet and one in the eye for the pests.

A caller cannot hide their identity to the telephone company, but only block it to the end user. The Information Commissioners Office know this, and can compel BT to give the information.. BT will be getting a great deal of revenue from these SPAM callers so they will be very disinclined to do anything about it, but don't let anyone pretend to you that it is difficult or impossible to find out, or that BT cannot block the calls. They can. If the ICO pretends that there is nothing they can do, then get on to your MP and make sure he understands the issues.
