i saw that too, not illegal, but they were saying it was morally wrong

Who gives a hoot, its them that wish to call him 5 times a week

I had a call from british gas recently, told them I was with Calor!
Got a call from some insurance outfit, told them I lived in a caravan
Got a call for PPI, told them I had just been paid out
Got a call from some electricity outfit, told them I used a generator

And so it goes on, I just lie like they do.  MY2014 SD4 XS

I just say, "oohh I dont know about such things , youd better ask my landlord " , then you can add " but hes in prison right now" At work

Used a similar one myself, Double Glazing, they soon go if you say you live in a caravan.
Conservatory, tell them you live on the tenth floor, works every time.
The ones telling you in an Indian tongue, "Hello, my name is Steve, I'm calling from Microsoft, you have a virus" play along with them then tell them your on a IMac, end up telling you to off. One actually went to the trouble to phone me again just to repeat it

"Hello my name is Steve, I-"
"No, it's not, Rathmataranadan."
"I'm sorry? My name is Steve, is this Mr. Rob?"
"Call me again... I kill a f---ing cow."

Brutal, but effective.

Keep getting nuisance phone calls. May be 2 a day ppi 0844 0845 ect; and other crap so I've registered with TPS Which says it stops you receiving unwanted sales calls. So just wondering if anyone used such services and do they work.

So now, I'm reporting every nuisance call I get to Callercenter and the FTC in an attempt to shut the scam down. I'm hoping that by raising my concerns, it would catch the attention of the authorities.
