This number keeps calling me and then hanging up. Totally sick of it. It's tantamount to harassment.

Four calls today - when asking to speak to a supervisor am hung up on. Fourth call spoke to a supervisor who told me they dont need to comply with TPS.

To 'Telesales Operative' - you may only be doing your job but the company you are working for is breaking the law.

For my sins I am a Legal Advocate and I can offer some advice about nuisance calls
Actually BT or any service provider as much as they deny it are responsible as the calls are being made on their lines and nuisance calls or 'unsolicited calls' are breaching the privacy act as well as other acts.
International calls are indeed a nuisance and I have tracked down a market research company who are based in India and the UK they are responsible together with other sister companies of 70% of the international nuisance calls, they are 'gfk' I have warned this company by contacting their managing director that he faced £10,000 fines and even imprisonment if this was not stopped, and guess what most all my international calls mysteriously have stopped. Don't stand for it complain as what they are doing is strictly illegal and a criminal offence.


All nuisance phone calls... why suffer they are ALL ILLEGAL !
FIGHT BACK ! Do the following
1. Report immediatelly to your phone operator to have the call blocked, they have an obligation to protect their customers against abuse and harassment .
2. Report to OFCOM
   see  www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/ - 14k
3. You can contact the Police as the company who is making the call is against the law.
a. The laws are the Telecommunications Act 1984 and 2000
see  hhtp://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/section12/chapter_k.html
b. The harassment Act 1997
see  http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1997/ukpga_19970040_en_1

4. If it is discovered that the company is a bailiffs or a credit card company then they could have easily have broken the law by breaking the following:
a. The administration of justice Act 1970 Section 40
b. The Data protection act 1998 various sections, in disclosing personal information over a phone line containing personal information for others to hear or overhear on say an answer phone.
5. Contact the Office of fair trading and report the company when you discover who it is, they have great powers.

6. When you have done this claim back your expences and don't be affraid to name and shame.
I hope this is of help and it is about time we all stood together to stamp this out once and for all.
REMEMBER your telephone operator/service providers are aiding and abetting this illegal activity and are liable, especially as they are earning off the backs of this scum by creaming off their commission, the customs and excise do not escape criticism as they are getting Value added tax, illegally !
IT IS TIME WE FAUGHT BACK BIG TIME - DO IT NOW !

Under Government legislation introduced on 1st May 1999 and replaced on 11th December 2003 by the
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, it is unlawful to make unsolicited telesales/marketing calls to individuals who have expressed their wish not to receive such calls.

Tellecommunications Act 1990
Telecommunications Act 1984  improper use of a public phone system (menacing,inconvenience,offensive,causing anoyance
the harassment act 2000

The unwanted goods and services act 1971,
The Data Protection Act  in forcing personal details to be made public over the telephone


Data Protection Act 1998 is designed to prevent access by third parties to a Data Subject’s Personal Data to be disclosed to a third party or used in a situation that would normally be considered ultra-vires (unlawful). Telecommunications Act 1984 section 43.  Improper use of public telecommunication system—(1)   A person who—  (a) sends, by means of a public telecommunication system, a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character; or(b) sends by those means, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another, a message that he knows to be false or persistently makes use for that purpose of a public telecommunication system,shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to imprisonment or a large fine or both. Exceptions to this are generally the Police or Government and very few others.

In computing, PHISHING is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication, the same rule applies,help others by reporting them too.

If a UK company can be held responsible for any call covered by these regulations and powers, then the place from where the call was originated makes no difference.

To stop other nuisance phone calls, go to the following website: http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/ BUT beware you are not covered forever, you have to renew your application every year.

Now you have the information act right now and nip this thing in the bud
Good luck

True call is a new device that plugs into your phone line and intercepts calls, voice recognition protects against recorded calls, any call which says press 1 for this or that are barred, your friends and family get straight through immediately without any hold up wheras the company calls are held up and checked out. Calls you do want being business oriantated can be on your favourites list and they get straight through. I think that this is well worth checking out.
