old tup Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) I,m just about at the end of my rag with cold calling nuisance phone calls!.Its nearly always Asian sounding voices just wanting a minute for this survey or that survey!.I used to leave it to the answering machine when it said number withheld that took care of the Indian con tricksters but the latest lot give a number,I told someone to <removed> the other day and it turned out to be my bank calling after a spate of these bloody calls,and it allways seems to be mealtimes when they do!.

Lucy-Lastic Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm TPS registered and we get loads of these (about 3 or so a week) - in fact I have just had one:( Unfortunately if they are calling from over seas it is not covered by TPS.

rich951 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Seconded on the TPS registration - we haven't had a single cold-call in the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 We are getting more and more automated calls now. I've stopped answering the phone altogether to anyone not recognised by caller ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plantpot Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Were TPS registered and we've been getting a sudden increase in these calls. Had 4 the other day twice the phone went dead, once was about a supposed virus on our computer and the other wouldnt talk to my boyfriend on the phone.

queenswood Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Do as we do at our house, put the receiver down on side and let them talk away to themselves. Their money they are wasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
