Crime reduction 

What to do if you receive a nuisance call

• Never react, argue or get involved in a conversation. Don't give nuisance callers any satisfaction. It's your phone, in your house - you are in control, not the caller.
• Put the handset down near to the phone and walk away. Return in about ten minutes and replace the handset. This is very frustrating for the caller and you probably won't be bothered again. Every call they make increases their phone bill.
• Tell your family and those who live with you about the nuisance call. Make sure that they know how to use the phone safely and how to handle any nuisance calls that they receive. This also applies to malicious calls.
