Thanks: Gave 8, Got 78 | Abuse from call center
Spoke to BTs Nuisance Phone Call dept after getting nuisance\abusive calls below from an International Number repeatedly (see below). BT stated they couldn't do anything as it is an International call and our UK law does not extend to any International telecom. USELESS. Makes the fact we are on the TPS almost pointless.

A loud whistle or air horn blasted down the phone will do the trick  | |

Start the conversation by asking what colour underwear they have on.
Get steadily worse.

Just make some BS up about how you have contacted the telecoms authority and they are tracing your call right now. You will be fired from your job etc, assuming he wors for a western phone company.

before they get chance to speak ask them if they know anything that gets blood out of clothing, tell them you seem to be covered in it and you have no idea why you have a knife in your hand - it was the voices that made me do it, you believe me dont you? its not my fault, there all dead!!!!! then hang up 
but the air horn is much better idea but you might have to warn anyone else in the room.
