Bob61, much there I completely agree with. I only ever give my phone number to those that really need it, and I am even more picky who I give my mobile to. It's switched off most of the time anyway, and it's only an old-style mobile, not a smart-phone. I never get scam calls on that. Calls to my home phone I let go to answering machine unless I recognise the number, and all my friends and relatives names come up on caller display. What always annoys me is online forms where you HAVE to give a phone number or they won't send. If I don't want them having my number I usually just make one up. I used to give the number of the phone box over the road until they took it away.
Telephone preference service seems to get less and less effective as the years go on. We have been registered with them for years. We also have anonymous caller rejection on our line, but still some get through and come up as "unknown" or "international", when nobody would phone me from abroad.
I use Hotmail too, I have 3 such accounts and one of those is only used for businesses. That's the one most scams come in on. I have 5 email addresses in all, and one is reserved for only family and very close friends. I never give that one to anyone else.
Despite all this I still seem to get scam emails. Perhaps not as many as some, but still enough. Phone calls from pests seem to go in batches. None at all for a couple of weeks, then several a day for a couple of weeks. I never pick up on them and they never leave a message, so I guess they are either scams or spam-calls.

Best Regards,
Colin
