Abusive and threatening call

MattE-UK — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 17:02:16 GMT

Just received a very abusive and threatening call pretending to be Curry's PC world.

02037111672 (17:39)

I have already reported this via Samsung (HiYa), and sent SMS to SPAM (7726)

Caller was from what sounded like India, but some of the words that they where saying was shocking after they realised I was not falling for the fact they where not Currys PC World...

Some of what profanity they where saying was "I will sell your sister", "f**k you", to name a few things that was understandable 🤔

Now I find it funny and always go out of my way to waste there time and to report these so other people are not scammed by them, is there anything more I can do 😎

@MattE-UK You’ve done all you can do. You know you’ve annoyed them when they loose their cool. Good for you 👍

In theory you can also report malicious calls to the Police - whether they have the resource to deal with anything more minor than a pattern of calls, would be debatable.
