Telephone Preference Service | Stop Cold Callers Flouting TPS » OptOut

I made the mistake of entering my number there and have had two 'call back' calls - both which roused me from daytime naps and both which I failed to reach the phone on time. (still a long walk - see other thread)

I did a 1471 to find the number and then realised that it was this very site that I had looked at when I was investigating stopping nuisance calls.

I have sent them a mail requesting they stop calling
- that's ironic, don't you think?
I got the same call enquiring about the accident I had in my car. I told them to go forth and multiply.
