Five prosecutions, in four years?

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

G.......You know how I feel about unsolicited calls.......I hate them with a passion.
I have been on the TPS list for a number of years.......these days when i get an unsolicited call, I ask the caller if they have permission to call my number, and before they can answer, I tell them that their call is illegal and that they are risking a £5000 fine by calling me.........sometimes they just disconnect the call, other times I get enough time to ask them to remove my number from their calling list, I tell them that if they call again, I will contact the Commissioner of Information with their details.

Himself tells me that I am rude, and that these people are only doing their job.
I tell him that if they can't take the heat, then they should stop cooking.

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

I am polite and say, 'No thank you, I am not interested'. If they continue to push the issue, I promptly tell them to 'Get a Proper job'!!

I asked if she had permission to call this number and the line went dead......hooray!

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

i have recently resorted to walking into the next room, leaving the phone off the hook behind me, which is fine, until the sodding thing starts whistling, but the first thing i do before that is say - Can you hang on a sec.:D

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

So because these calls are made from outside the country, they can't be prosecuted?

Cool.
