Rejected petition Require OfCom to provide a simple nuisance call phone number.

Rejected on

Require OfCom to provide a simple phone number (like 1471) where phone users can report the previous call as a scam, abuse, or other nuisance, for immediate police investigation. If two separate users complain, the number would be automatically blocked on all exchanges.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for OFCOM. You can find out more about how to complain about a nuisance call here:
