Got a call from this number about gift vouchers. When I asked, 'What vouchers', they hung up.

Called explained that he was from Harvey and Grant, said he had vouchers to give away, I said not for loft insulation he said, no for kitchens. I said no not interested and the male caller immediately hung up. Very rude company

we do not enjoy calling and getting constant abuse from people an a daily basis we are just doing a job that a simple "no thank you " is enough instead of fxxxx off ! to stop these calls the tps wont stop these calls but getting a bar on withheld numbers then these calls cant be connected tps is no use hope this helps its just as frustrating for me as it is for you !

"we do not enjoy calling and getting constant abuse from people.. "

Then £UCK OFF, and stop disturbing us illegally, you dozy muppet!  We certainly weren't asking to be disturbed by you.

You really don't come across as being very bright.

Rather like an arsonist complaining that they sometimes burn themself when 'working', and they don't like it.

No sympathy for you here.

To those who 'work' (I use the term loosely) in this sort of industry.....

1. If you do not want abuse from those who are registered with TPS, then CHECK TPS FIRST and then do NOT call them - it's simple really.
2. If you can't be bothered to check TPS, then do not be surprised if you get abuse from those who ARE registered and resent your intrusion.
3. If you don't like the abuse, then find another job that makes a better contribution to society

A few things to comment on regarding the nature of the posts in this forum thus far:

- People saying 'get a better job/ contribute more to society'... Surely doing a job of some sorts is better than being on the dole?!?! The UK is in trouble financially just now- jobs are as scarceas hens teeth, and people need money to live.  The only reason I have this job is because it was the only one available to me when I was made redundant from a far better paid job. The job pays goes towards course fees and towards my travel- what is wrong with that? Many people are in the same situation...

-Whenever a TPS number is called, we apologise. I for one am never rude- however, I have to tell you, I get a lot of abuse from customers telling me to F*** off.

-Yes, cold calling is annoying whether or not you are on TPS. I hate being on the other end of a cold call as well- i.e. receiving one. However, sometimes I wish that people would take a step back and think what it must be like to do the job.

So, despite the faults of the company or anything else, how about taking a step back and looking at it from another perspective?

Called me 5 minutes ago & asked for my dad, told them he was out an the woman said she would call back another time.  When I asked she said she was calling from a company called Davis & Dean

Moron AMC falsely claims:-

"-Whenever a TPS number is called, we apologise. I for one am never rude"

Answer:- No, not accourding to our collective experience.  You call us illegally,then you are rude and abusive when we fail to be trhilled at being illegally disturbed by you lot.

AMC moans:-

"I get a lot of abuse from customers telling me to F*** off. "

Answer:-  Well take note then.  Never call TPS numbers.  If you do then expect to be told to F*** off!

AMC can't understand the stupidity of their own logic:-

"-Yes, cold calling is annoying... I hate being on the other end of a cold call as well- i.e. receiving one. However, sometimes I wish that people would take a step back and think what it must be like to do the job."

Answer:-  You really don't get it do you.  If it annoys you, THEN STOP DOING TO OTHER PEOPLE YOU STUPID IDIOT!  And we don't give a F**k what iit is like to do your pathetic job.  Just take responsibility, obey the law, and stop disturbing us all.

Your logic is as stupid as complaing about being arrested when you're a burglar.  "oh, but it is just so unfair, I hate being burgled, but why can't people sympathise with me when the police arrest me, why can't my victims just see it from my selfish point of view?"

Grow up, moron, get a life, stop being such a blinkered idiot.  Oh, - anf F*(K OFF!!!!!!

i actually work for dm design and while i dont agree we should be given pages of a phone book i also dont agree this is a scam these vouchers may very well exist i sure as hell dont know lol

What an interesting post.  You work for them but you don't know if the vouchers exist.  Says it ll really.

You really are a self centred individual aren't you? What would you do if you lost your 'great' job? starve yourself and not feed your kids (if you have any), loose your house etc or opt to work in a call centre and being able to live?

What crude language. I really am appalled.  I never once said that what we do is right. I simply suggested looking at it from another point of view. Sometimes people have no choice but to take a job like this in the interim...

Moron (no- sorry, I'm not a Moron) AMC falsely claims:-

"-Whenever a TPS number is called, we apologise. I for one am never rude"

Answer:- No, not accourding to our collective experience.  You call us illegally,then you are rude and abusive when we fail to be trhilled at being illegally disturbed by you lot.

Well actually-  I said that 'I' am never rude or abusive. If someone asks me to go away- I do so...

AMC moans:-

"I get a lot of abuse from customers telling me to F*** off. "

Not moaning.... Statement of fact.

Answer:-  Well take note then.  Never call TPS numbers.  If you do then expect to be told to F*** off!

If you have read other posts in the forum you will know why TPS numbers are called... Stop blaming individuals...

AMC can't understand the stupidity of their own logic:-

"-Yes, cold calling is annoying... I hate being on the other end of a cold call as well- i.e. receiving one. However, sometimes I wish that people would take a step back and think what it must be like to do the job."

I'm definitely NOT a stupid idiot... I've explained why some people take this job...

Your logic is as stupid as complaing about being arrested when you're a burglar.  "oh, but it is just so unfair, I hate being burgled, but why can't people sympathise with me when the police arrest me, why can't my victims just see it from my selfish point of view?"

Grow up, moron, get a life, stop being such a blinkered idiot.  Oh, - anf F*(K OFF!!!!!!

Grow up and get a life? I have a life thank you very much. A very fulfilling one at that... Stop being so presumptuous.

I just got a call from this number.  Young Scottish woman asked if I was Mrs W.  I said it depends who was asking and what she wanted. Its a quick promotional call and I can only speak to the homeowner so are you Mrs W.  I replied that there was no Mrs W at this address and she apologised and hung up.  Thought as much - Direct marketing Call!  I am registered with the Telephone Preference Service so they are breaking the Law contacting me at all.

I received a call today (26/06) from " Katie of Harvey & Grant", asking for me by my surname.

I asked how she had obtained my number, as I am on TPS and was told "it's on our database".   I asked her to remove it and she said she would.  There was no apology but she didn't protest either.  I dialled 1471 and got the "number witheld" message.

Using their freephone number sounds a good idea; but why should we have to waste our time?   Ofcom's response is predictably wet.   Is it time for us to badger politicians into giving them some teeth and ordering them to bite?

If you are TPS registered please report them, making the point that they are an alias for DM Design in Kirkaldy.  I received a second call yesterday from one of their other aliases and reported them for the second time.  This time I made the DM Design point and told them that it seemed that this company was driving a coach and horses through TPS rules. If more people  report them and give the DM Design connection them perhaps they will get off their butts and do something.

You sound the same idiotic being, that actually rings and annoys people from these numbers, what they are doing is illegal, can I suggest YOU get a life and stop being an idiot?

What's the betting this nasty company with its illegal calling practices and its contempt for the TPS will feature on Panorama tonight, Monday 2nd July, BBC1 at 8.30pm?

I hope so.  Have been rung by three of DM Designs alias companies (always double barrelled names).  The third call was last week and I duly reported it to TPS.  Having told them that I had previously reported them, I pointed out that DM Designs were driving a coach and horses through the TPS system.

called 4 times today - no one at other end - do not answer it now

Rang the number back with my number withheld & got a recorded message saying that number didn't take incoming calls. The message suggested contacting by email via www.dmdesign.com. The website has a freephone number 0800 185 186 for contacting their sales department. You might want to ring that number with your number withheld, and tell them what you think of them. It won't cost you anything, but will rack up their phone bill.

I've just reported them to the TPS again, but probably wasting my time, as it looks like they have been getting away with it for several years.
