I'm getting a lot of calls attributed to this Gamma Telecom holdings, which is a legitimate business but they sell phone numbers that are acquired by scammers through third parties. I'm just blocking them as they come in, but it's pretty much daily during the working week. Maybe they'll give up soon. This last one came in and was identified as Sky TV.

Gamma is a SIP-trunk provider - so may not be the actual business/person calling, they 'own' the block of phone numbers but mat have re-sold 01256 293820 on to someone else.
