Im pretty sure I signed up to TPS some years ago, but have done it again since I moved addresses recently. Cant hurt I suppose.
Most of my spam calls have historically been those "we heard you had an accident recently". They are generally pretty easy to pick now, because when you answer there is a second or so of silence, so on those calls I just hang up straight away. But they were never this frequent, I might have had one a month or something like that. I wish I had the time to sit around playing with these people. Maybe I could just answer and then put the mic on mute and leave the phone on speaker and see how long before they hang up. :-) I might pop those guys an email anyway, at least they might be aware that someone is spoofing numbers from their range, whether they can do anything about it...
