01592642600

Received a phantom call from this number - no-one on the end of the phone when I picked up.

I reported this compy to Fife Police Kirkcaldy  01592 is Kcaldy code and they acted on it immediately and visited the compy showroom in Kcaldy. The compy version of call was alleged to have been a new member of staff not following or understanding the procedures when cold calls but as usual 'the training will be given" load of duff was spouted forth by manager.  However they were made aware of the  info on internet and were ' taken aback'  that they are so well known!  They blame ex disgruntled employees for the bad press on internet!!!  Must be an awful lot of them.  
if people are so hacked off write/email/phone  Fife Police at Kirkcaldy so they can build up a file and maybe something can be done.

Got a call today (Dec 7th, 2011) from this number.  Man with Scottish accent said he was from DM Design.  I interrupted him and said I hadn't asked him to call.  Then I hung up.  They called again immediately afterwards and I did not answer.  No message left.

Answered phone, said "Hello?" twice and they hung up. No-one spoke.

Answered a call from this number, whereupon a feeble male voice said "Hullo" and this was followed by an unobtainable tone.  Thought it was a nearby friend so dialled 1471.  It wasn't my friend and I don't know anyone in Kirkaldy.

had a call today from this number lady hung up when i couldn,t understand who she was wanting to speak to

A polite woman just called from "Harvie and Grant".  I let her run through the script whilst I tried to decide if I should politely say no, mention the TPS, read her the riot act or string her along.  I must have been in a good mood as when she asked if I was the homeowner, I told her I rented and let her end the call politely. She had a lucky escape tonight!

By the way, this website is great.  Well done to all who contribute.  There are no excuses for these calls.

There are excuses for these calls. 'These' calls generate hundreds of thousands of pounds per month and millions per year.

Yes, that's what these companies all claim.  Apparently, the British public love getting these calls.  In the same way as they love junk, sorry, direct mail.  

Like millions of others, I have registered with the TPS, yet your company broke the law by calling me.  You had no legitimate reason to call me today.  Don't embarrass yourself trying to justify that.  If you were a legitimate outfit, you would have a proper list of leads, not a telephone directory or a dodgy CD you bought on the internet.

Companies like yours often leave behind a string of dissolved companies, workers who didn't get paid and thousands of unsatisfied customers who could have got a better deal elsewhere.  

I take it you are in senior management/ownership of the company?  

I had a battle with someone similar recently, who lied and tried to rip me off, ignored phone calls, letters and e-mails until I was forced to resort to threatening legal, political and media action against him.

He still claimed "it was all a misunderstanding" despite written evidence, a string of insolvencies and hundreds of people left without a job or pay due to his creative business practices.

I can assure you this company makes hundreds of thousands of pounds profit per month. One team made £167,000 one month that is ONE TEAM IN ONE OFF MANY BRANCHES making the same amount if not more out of 20+ teams. Not all Brittish public people are like yourself, call the TPS and see if they will 'shut down' the company. All they do is send a letter of the details of you and ask us to remove us from our list which we do.

I'm amazed that you have been foolish enough to admit in a public forum that you break the rules in the pursuit of money.  Now that's something to boast about.  It takes away the credibility of your proud boasts.  Now go away and play somewhere else.  This is getting as tedious as your posts.

For some people, a job is a job, they are merely trying to eke out a living..

I am sure if they could find a job elsewhere they would do so, so get off your moralistic high horse.

The people are taking up at most 3 minutes of your time on a call, what damage is that doing you and your very active social life??

Seriously... If you don't like what they are offering, politely tell them you are not interested and then put the telephone down.. being rude, abusive, and quite frankly condescending, does not help you or them.. once again, I will repeat, I doubt very much it is their idea of a perfect job, but is it not better then take 3 minutes of your time, than money from benefits, which the country can not afford to pay out!!!

I must agree Bob. I am disabled due to mobility problems and at times have difficulty getting to the phone. My phone is in the house as I receive calls from family and various medical people inquiring on my health and ensuring that I have not had an accident. I too and a member of TPS for the reasons you mentioned. I was polite to the Scots lady that phoned me and I tried to explain that I was a member of TPS that I was a disabled person but she just put the phone down on me! If this isn't illegal then it certainly is rude!!

To reiterate what BOB has said, please check the relative lists before calling those people who do not need your vouchers or whatever you sell! And by the way, I DONT EVEN OWN MY PROPERTY!!

Cheers, I am pleased I discovered this forum

Something very strange  going on here !!!  after calls a few weeks back , from these cretins (same behaviour as others on here have reported) I changed my calling features online  to include  blocking certain calls . However and here is the worrying thing , this blocking feature seemingly isn't operating in my area ? and so it was never actually set up ( the number 01592642600  was never given to them by me or asked for by BT in order for them to block it )   I therefore cancelled this feature when I received my bill this morning ( because they had billed me for it even though it had never been set up)  Now here is the very worrying thing, 30 minutes after going online and cancelling this feature with BT,  lo and behold I receive a call  ( which hadn't occurred  whilst I was being billed for this blocking service , that isn't operating in my area)   from  01592642600,  almost as if they somehow knew that I had just cancelled (paying)  for this  non- operating blocking feature with BT ????

Got this call grom a woman from Harvey & Grant offering me £850 in vouchers if I answered 2 questions. When I said it was none of her business who owned the house, she hung up.

found this number as missed call on my phone, when I called back I got the strange engaged tone which I think other people have found.

I had a call from 01592 642600 too, and a woman also asked my name and then hung up. What is this all about and who are they?

Had at leased 6 calls in the last 2weeks same thing   answer 2 questions told them that i wasnt interested  they hung up . These irritating calls need to be stopped now . SO they need  not call me again as i won't be answering my phone  i will check 1471  .

Just got another call from harvey and grant.  Voucher value has gone up from £850 to £1000 since last time!   I am registered with TPS, they are ignoting this.

Please, children, no abuse and use the forum for what it's intended.

I recieved a call from someone alleging to be from an outfit called Butler and Carr offering some promotion. When being asked for his company registration, and company address he refused to give it saying the Data protection Act prevented him telling me. I advised him to find another job and hung up.
He called me back and was abusive
