Nuisance calls still a pest
A website set up a year ago by the government to stop pest phone cold-callers has been shown to be ineffective.
A poll of 3,755 people by the consumer magazine 60 Millions de Consommateurs found 47% felt bloctel.gouv.fr had made no difference. The site’s 3million subscribers have registered more than 7m phone numbers but only 15% of those polled said they felt calls had reduced.
Many said it was too difficult to give Bloctel details of callers – but Bloctel say it can only improve if more pest numbers are reported.
