@Cullyboy Unfortunately EE cannot stop anyone from calling you as they don’t know that it’s going to be a scam call when the call is placed you could request a change of number because of this and all you need to do is call customer services and state why you need a change of number.

You can also report these numbers if not withheld. You just text CALL to 7726 then the number when prompted. Also on your phone you might have the option to block all numbers that are not in your call list. What phone do you have ?

I am getting more and more of these spcam calls lately. I have tried a bunch of these call blocking apps and none of them work well. Just yesterday, I got a scam call trying to give me cheap gas and electric. When I researched the phone number, I see others reporting it as some energy scam. Absolute time wasters.
