Some spam company has got hold of my O2 mobile number. I am currently receiving around 8 calls a day, all from different numbers (physing) some come up as mobile, some regional. I do not answer them, but every time the number is different, so blocking is pointless. I am now not answering any calls that are not in my contacts, working on the theory that if it is genuine, they will leave a message.
Is there anything that I can do to stop these calls?

The thing is, it is not one number, there have been 27 different numbers over the last 4 days, each time it is a different number, either a mobile or normal with an area code. Blocking is no use because they don't use the same number. They must have software that changes the incoming number every time. If you try and phone it back, it comes back number not recognised.
Not much you can do as they almost always use spoofed, random numbers they call from. I had this and if I didn't answer the spammers usually give up and it stops after a couple of weeks.
Changing phone number is one drastic option.
