lobster Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 just had a call from someone called Lauren from a outfit called " Nuisance call Prevention " . They are basically offering to sign you up to the Telephone Preference Society which is a FREE service for a fee .

charmer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm not sure that you can call that a scam. Lots of service providers sell consumers services for more than the service costs if you do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've received two calls in two days from some sort of agency wanting to know if my hearing was damaged. Normally I'd just hang up, but this was a Sheffield number as well, I made clear I wanted to be taken off their database, twice, it seems to only have worked on the second. Considering we are on the preference scheme I was very annoyed they rang us twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
