NO MESSAGE LEFT

@ data broker

Could you be a dear and post that info now.

Call went to my answerphone. It was a pre-recorded message - I missed the beginning as the recording had obviously started playing while my answerphone greeting was running - but I think it said I'd opted IN to receiving updates about financial services, which I'm always very careful NOT to do!!

What a pity TPS can't/won't deal with pre-recorded cold calls in the same way as live ones. When you're on the receiving end, they're both equally unwanted and annoying.

The message was something about people with unsecured debts of £10,000+ being able to have 70% written off due to recent legislation. If something sounds too good to be true, it invariably is. They shouldn't be allowed to prey like this on vulnerable people who really might have £10k+ of unsecured debt.

I deleted the message without listening to the end.

These parasites don't care about your privacy and comfort at home and will continue to pester you and even sell your name on to others. Get back at them by wasting their time. Tell them you would like their help and then make up some fictitious debts etc, Give them a false name and address and let them waste their time and effort chasing up non existent problems. They hate this and soon get the message.

@WM

Nan was right... If you go to the TPS website and try to report an unwanted call that was a recorded message, you get taken to a page that says:

"Telephone Preference Service (TPS) will help reduce receipt of live unsolicited direct marketing calls but will not stop pre- recorded calls."

and it tells you to contact the ICO, as Nan said.

This is the link for reporting automated calls: http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/marketing/31.aspx 
They can't do anything about individual complaints - it's more of a survey - but if they get the same number reported enough times then they may take action, so let's get reporting anyway (it's simple and anonymous) ;o)

received a call saying I had had an accident in my car. This is not true. Caller was not British and when challenged about details he told me to f**k off .

Thanks for that.  I am not sure how far back WM looked to find my post, certainly several pages.  The ICO are working hard to get these calls stopped.  They recently fined two men £440,000 for running this sort of operation.  As you say, the more of us who report these calls the sooner we will get something done.

Silent call

so who is this pest because I do not !

Bunch of effing w*ankers, thats who they are. Am at the point now that ' every pre-recorded call should be banned outright' am bloody p*ssed off with it. PARASITES! I wouldn't p*ss on them if they were on fire, if their office was on fire i'd buy agallon of petrol and help it on while pushing them back inside! [***]!

These cowboys rang me again on my landline - I did not answer it

Thanks to this site I was able to confirm my suspicion that the number left on my answer machine was a scam.

Call to do with compensation!

Rung me a few times this week.... No message left .....  Another number added to my BT choose to ignore service ...

They should 'opt in' to dying in as grotesque a manner as their horrible little imaginations can conceive.  Especially the one doing the voiceover

They phoned today. No answer on line.
Guess they must have some debts in paying their phone bills.
Perhaps they should talk to themselves, they'll get more sence out of that than if they actually get me on the phone.
I don't mind wasting their time. If I want to speak to them I will phone them. Why should they think I am interested in their uncalled for calls?

have selected option 9 to removed from list and subsequently reported to TPS who do nothing yet the calls persist so had to pay out for a new phone that enables me to log this number and block nuisance calls of this nature.  WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!

For the umpteenth time got another call from this number an hour ago. Another recorded message about debts and an offer to assist me to clear them. I hope that these annoying buggers are included in the proposed clamp down on these loan sharks that charge up to 4124% APR for "payday" cash advances as these pond life are only adding to the misery of thousands of people in debt through no fault of their own.

i keep getting these calls they seem to belive i have registered with them but i have not

keep getting these phone calls all i found out if it is a recorde message the T P S cant do nothing yet i have the phone number
