Wondered who called you?
and how to block nuisance calls
You may have a call blocking system on your telephone or perhaps it shows you a number you don't recognise so here is a way to find who called, in case you don't know.
Simply enter the number into the GOOGLE search box to see what comes up. It worked for us after a reader told us about it.

The best action it to take is not to engage in a conversation but simply say you are not interested and hang up.
The cheapest call blocking device we have come across costs only £14.99 and details are available below:
