Rejected petition Stop UK and international call centres using local telephone codes and numbers

I have received over 5 calls this week alone clearly from a call centre using a local telephone code. Numerous calls like this in fact over the last year. Some have been UK based and some have been clearly from other countries.

These are just typical examples. They should never be allowed to do this.
