I have been receiving calls from "stock brokers" for over a year, aswell as emails. Obviously I block them all, so each number can only call me once.
As someone who worked in Telecoms fro 5 years I always wondered why foreign companies are allowed to buy NGN's (not only 08's etc, but normal numbers aswell) without anyone governing what they do. Only UK companies should be allowed to buy the numbers, and that would help a lot.

On the flip side, I did entertain the idea of buying and NGN with a premium rate (rebate, so I get paid £6ppm with £1 connection charge - so £7 a call) and hooking it up to an IP phone on my broadband to auto-answer, then get all these spam emails from abroad and give them my "new" number. I bet they'd stop calling when their bill came through!
