Me too. Cold calls are rare.

Ditto, one or two cold calls a year.

Cold calls dropped when I first registered with the TPS. Those were
the days when cold callers phoned from UK numbers and were willing to
tell you who they were.

Cold calls have risen back up to 1 or 2 a day now, mostly called from
international/unavailable numbers and there is no human on the other
end of the line.
