cold call recorded message about pension....

Same here... some bloke called Michael Simister? Very edgy and nervous so I'm going to tip off the police

this number has called 3times  regarding pension . i dont take the call

I have registered with the telephone preference service and still get calls from unwanted people. Today I had a call from Eco Energy 01618703441.  This should not be happening.

Old scam - after your data to sell onto other criminals who disregard the law. Just hang up. Good reporting them to the ICO. You don't even need to know their name, just their number. Data fraudsters like to plant stooges on these forums to discourage honest folk from contacting the ICO or Ofcom. Ignore them. Data criminals don't want the hassle, bad publicity or fines, and have big payoffs to make to stay in business. Pay them back with hassle.  I've bookmarked the ICO complaint form and report each and every call now via the form on www.ico.gov.uk : https://www.snapsurveys.com/swh/surveylogin.asp?k=134674895144

Here's the latest fine for a Scottish company caught with its trousers down and breaking the law:

http://www.ico.gov.uk/news/latest_news/2013.aspx

News release: 20 March 2013

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has served a monetary penalty of £90,000 to a company that has blighted the public with thousands of unwanted marketing calls.

DM Design, based in Glasgow, has been the subject of nearly 2,000 complaints to the ICO and the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). The company consistently failed to check whether individuals had opted out of receiving marketing calls – in clear breach of the law - and responded to just a handful of the complaints received.

In one instance an employee refused to remove a complainant’s details from the company’s system and instead threatened to “continue to call at more inconvenient times like Sunday lunchtime”.

The monetary penalty is the first the ICO has issued for a serious breach of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) relating to live marketing calls. This latest penalty comes after the joint owners of a company, which was responsible for sending hundreds of thousands of spam texts, received penalties totalling £440,000 in November last year.

The ICO has informed two more companies that it is intending to impose significant penalties over breaches of the law, with a final decision likely in the coming weeks. A further ten companies are subject to ongoing investigation for cold-calling and sending spam text messages.

Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, said:

“Today’s action sends out a clear message to the marketing industry that this menace will not be tolerated. This company showed a clear disregard for the law and a lamentable attitude toward the people whose day they were disturbing. This is not good enough.

“This fine will not be an isolated penalty. We know other companies are showing a similar disregard for the law and we’ve every intention of taking further enforcement action against companies that continue to bombard people with unlawful marketing texts and calls.

“All of this work has been made possible thanks to the information we are receiving from the public, which has assisted our investigation team in identifying the companies making these calls.”

The ICO and OFCOM, who are responsible for regulating silent calls, work closely together and will be publishing an open letter to the marketing industry reminding companies that they must comply with the legal and regulatory measures in place. Failure to do so will lead to enforcement action, with the ICO able to issue penalties of up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the PECR, and OFCOM having the power to issue penalties of up to £2,000,000 over breaches of rules linked to abandoned and silent calls.

The ICO has setup a online reporting tool which people can use to send us the details of any unwanted marketing texts and calls. View the reporting tool, which has already received nearly 140,000 responses since it was setup in March last year.

Fines!  Those aren't fines!  They're the kind of money these [***] find in their back pockets after a night out.  Try £ TENS OF MILLIONS.  Better   . . . close them down without any right of appeal.

getting these calls three sometimes four times a day from as early as 8-30 in the morning

2 Calls from this number today never anyone on the line getting really fed up with all these calls .

It's solar panels this time! Another scam.

This number keeps calling me

Keep getting calls from this number but every time I answer they hang up.  I've no idea who they are but its starting to get annoying.

They call day and night, evenings and weekends. When I try to call back I get  fault on the line message. I understand this number is being used for various scams.

I object to callers such as this one invading my home and privacy

I am constantly getting calls from this number.  These people are con merchants.  I am not going to report this to the ICO and see if anything can be done.

Get a call from this number at the same time every other day! But no one ever at the other end!

I do not want to unlock my pension and have never indicated or inquired about doing so.  I am registered with the TPS  and MPS and these automated calls can be stopped if you report it as a silent call on www.ICO.gov.uk
