I agree I registered with the TPS royal mail etc to get the junk out of my life, it works all I get now is the mail and phone calls I want. Royal mail stop letters addressed to the occupier, the rest get return to sender.

On the odd occassion that I do get the cold call I obtain details of the company and the person speaking to. They never ring again.


Chris

If Royal Mail stop letters addresed to "the occupier" then part P documents from the scheam opperators wont get through as you dont put the persons name just the address!

I used to get 4 a day until one they asked to speak to ? ???????? (me) and I said hold on I will get him for you I then laid the phone down and waited for "the caller has cleared the line" message now I get one a week and yep they get the same treatment

"On hold" message for telemarketers - YouTube

 

[alexllever]

how about just pick up the phone, and let them talking...without our listening. Well, i dont know. i think they have to do this to emmm, earn money, keep lives going on.

Really Dan!!!!

That was too helpful, else I was fed up with the minutes to minutes ringing of my cell, and after recieving them, the call were known to be the marketing ones which was very much annoying for me. These days these marketing call instead of helping the people with their businesses had become a major part of disturbances.

Remember if they call your mobile and leave their number then save it under Scam 1,2,3 ect and next time leave it to ring out then when it goes to answer they hang up plus 90% of my number withdrawn calls are scam the latest is I have been asked to call you from the police and the other 10% are people calling me from their work

I like this one Making A Telemarketer Hang Up - YouTube

 

[FoxySparky]

How much because i really need to stop these people calling

 

[oldtimer]

I get 3-4 a day the majority Indian call centers from Dave and Janet I always say look your name is Sangi not David and I aint giving you anyinfo and I am taking part in a trial where I need to keep talking to you for at least 1 minute 20 seconds so that they can trace the call and foe some reason he hangs up.

 

[ickleant]

I hate the automated call centres more. When companies use them its like saying your not even worth talking to

Thanks Dan, I have just completed my registration as this is probably the most frustrating part of my day.

lmao !



Best thing to do is

- take thier company name
- Name of the person calling
- Company Address

Tell them that this call is recorded for training and legal reasons, also inform them that you charge £10 per minute for your time and ask them if they agree to the terms otherwise best to hang up.

If they agree then send them an invoice with the total that is owed to you.

Automated cold calls really F me off.

But the unautomated ones when the guy who's on the other end says his name is Steve White in the most jamaican accent ever genuinley make me laugh... a few offensive words and a hang-up always do the trick.
