Call from "government backed service" called the TPS, claiming that I have received nuisance calls and offering to put me onto the "more secure version of the TPS" which will "stop all nuisance calls, scam calls, block all overseas call centres" etc.
What, like you scamming bunch? Calling from an overseas call centre "No, I am from Bournemouth"? Pretending to be someone you are not? Hmmm. "Well then you will still get all the calls sir".
The TPS do NOT make outgoing calls touting their services.
