Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Well, it might be.
We were poor so didn't have such things.

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Well this must be a first:eek:was watching Eggheads tonight when the phone rang, Hello Mr. Farrer, my name is blabla just a quick call, we're a new company, JD buts in I'm on the preferred callers list you should not be ringing me, if you ring me again I will report you, I put the phone down. Ten seconds latter it rings again, Mr Farrer I'm very sorry If I disturbed you I have called back to say I have removed your name from all our data bases, sorry for any inconvenience bye bye what a refreshing change:mosher:

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

That's the way to do it, tell them your phone is registered with tps, must say though ours is registered but calls seem to have started again, must be selling data lists again :rolleyes:

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Ya Park they have started again the only problem being is that a lot of them come from India and there's not a thing we can do about it, except hang up:(

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Must be speaking very good english then. There are companies out there that make big money out of selling lists of addresses and phone numbers, we need to burn the lists, how many times have you filled online forms in with name + address + phone number + mobile number. :eek:

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

I Never include my phone number on line Park, nor my adress if I can get away with it

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

So you have never bought anything on line then?

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

My address and phone number are plastered everywhere on the web because that's where I buy everything. I don't think I get pestered more than other folk here have said they do.

I think the electoral list and the phone book are basic spam/junk mail sources and they are the two I have opted out of.

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Good on you margaret, they build up lists from all sorts of places

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

Everytime I've bought anything on line its been a secure site, would use it otherwise;)

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

as you say Margaret there are two electoral lists, the official one used for official purposes and another one that is available to buisness, you can, as you say, opt out of your name being on that list, but does everybody know that:confused:
