Puffrose offers an elegantly simple answer.

An alternative would be to report them to your Trading Standards in your LA. Some have people dedicated to this task because it is often the most vulnerable that get sucked in by it.

Either way note the number and report it. TPS is no use in these circumstances.

With what complaint. The OP does not know these are calls trying to get bank details, it is at present only supposition. There isn't even a definite number from which the call is being made yet. Several calls does not amount to harassment,so what exactly would you expect the police to do other than log it?

logging it as a suspected scam is a start, they may be able to warn vunerable people etc.

unwanted contact via a private telephone line, nusicence calling, theres a few complaints that can be made.

Problem is the OP hasn't got a number yet!

I suspect they originate from German mobiles.
