aye,a wagon come to mine with 20,000 nokia 101's.
One imagines they (or all bar one of them) got your number off a mugs list that is passed around, or sold. And of course, as soon as you take the call, even if you tell them to sod off, you confirm it is a live number.
How you got onto the list in the first place is the only question. Maybe a so-called friend passed your number on. Maybe you once dealt with a tipster.
I used to have a similar problem back in the day but then it was letters rather than phone calls. I think some of those involved got put away for a stretch. Other victims probably get emails, or Whatsapp or Facebook or...
What you could try is saving their numbers under a silly name that you can then recognise and either block or just do not answer.
Stay safe.

We are about to end our fixed line phone contract because it is so little used nowadays - aside from the ba*st*rd scam callers and sales people.
But a little trick that I came up with a few years ago still works if the caller sounds like a female.
I let them talk for a few seconds, before saying 'could I just ask a quick question about that'?.
This really gets them interested because they think they are reeling in a fish. I then ask 'what colour knickers have you got on today'?
To date, every caller has then put the phone down - sometimes with a choice adjective. If it is male caller, I let them talk before then blowing a referee's whistle at full blast down the line.
In fact, when the landline contract ends next week I shall rather miss my little games!!!

I received a text supposedly from a former champion jockey who is on ATR regularly along side Chapman.
I replied with trial for a laugh and got a tip every day 3pt win during the 2 weeks I replied that this was reckless tipping(no reply)at the end was asked for £40 per week.
I replied that if I bet to £100 pp I would have made £75 but invested £5100 to achieve this I told him if I have £5100 I don't need the 75.
During the spell one tip was on ATR and he was all over it sowas thinking is it him.
He went down to £30 then 20 and I just blocked the number.
Another was from the jockey of see you then I replied **** off galloping cavalier and got no tips.
