BT has set up a trial "Nuisance Call Bureau" in Canterbury, Kent. I'm
not involved in this area of work, or any part of the telecom network,
but I believe it's intended to help victims in whatever way it can,
presumably including tracing and location mapping. My back copies of
internal magazines show that there is a `BT Task Force examining the
problem'.

All I can say is ask your local BT office for advice and more on this
bureau.  The cops should be involved.

Standard disclaimer applies. I speak for myself, not BT.
