I have been harassed every day this week by purported "Spark" calls. I know it is a scam but it is very annoying and spoils my day by feeling so frustrated that we cannot prevent these harassment calls.
Does anyone have an idea how to block them ???

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
