Report spam calls to the Federal Network Agency - Here's how

First of all, you should tell the caller that you don't want any more calls. If you are bothered afterwards, you can report the calls to the Federal Network Agency:

• Write down what is advertised when the call is made.
• Make notes on the manner of the conversation. Are promises made or are they even threatened?
• The phone number of the caller is also important.
• Then use the appropriate form at the Federal Network Agency to complain.
• The caller must expect to be fined if the complaints accumulate.
