Yet another early morning scam call. Who needs an alarm clock. Thoroughly fed up and stressed. Even though on BT call blocker. Surely in this day and age a stop can be put on these scams. Scum of the earth

Person laughed then rang off. We are getting BT scam calls 2-3 times every day, always different numbers and feel that this was another of these.
