Nuisance callers to face larger fines

摘要

Companies Making silent phone calls, causing nuisance and distress, face fines of up to ￡2m.rnSilent calls originate from call centres that use automated calling systems (ACS). These can dial more numbers than there are staff available to speak to the people who answer. The new penalty was introduced by the Government after research was carried out by Ofcom into the effect of these calls.
