Give scammers the only response: a cold shoulder

Regarding your story Talk about a cold call: Antarctica latest Wangiri phone scam destination targeting UAE

residents (October 23), these bogus calls started for me after I was forwarded a scam WhatsApp message apparently offering free airline tickets. It said I had to send it to 10 friends to qualify.

All these bogus competitions do is harvest genuine phone numbers to target users. I wonder if anyone else has seen a similar link and then received these scam calls from Nauru, Papua New Guinea or the Maldives soon after? Ian Thomasson, Dubai

I have blocked more then 400 numbers to date and am still getting calls. The latest calls are from Burundi. Ajmal Khan, Dubai
