Can i scam the scammers?

[_Will_]

Got one of those shitty callbacks, 'Been trying to contact you, we still have your £1000 to collect, just ring 08712409000 - it is not a premium phone number'

The reverse charge wont work obviously coz they'l just pay themselves back - Any way to get the scummy gits back or are they free to scam poor niaeve people?

The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) helps you to make sure your telephone number is no longer available to organisations, including charities and voluntary organisations who may telephone you with offers and information you do not wish to receive

Under Government legislation introduced on 1st May 1999 and replaced on 11th December 2003 by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, it is unlawful to make unsolicited direct marketing calls to individuals who have indicated that they do not want to receive such calls.

You can either do this by contacting companies directly and asking them not to call you or you can register with a central register - the TPS.

It's useful but only relevent to UK-based operations, of which many aren't.
