When I got my new BT number I made sure to exclude my number from the telephone directory. And I have never disclosed the number to any one. But I still get annoying spam messages on my answerphone.

I am getting frustrated with the number of spams I receive in my voice mailbox. This is the latest spam I received yesterday.

I do not understand what these guys are trying to achieve. Do people still fall for these kind of unsolocited messages? I am not stupid enough to call a premium rate number to listen to their prank. One more such message and I will be thinking of making a complaint with the authorities.
