    Had anyone had persistent calls from this crowd?
    i have had 15 calls in 3 days, eventually forcing me to unplug phone.
    On the one call that lasted more then a minuite i told them i had never been msisold payment protection insurance.
    But they continue to call.

    I have heard of the 'PC Doctor' window calls but at least those guys don't call back for a few months once to tell them to get lost.

    I love making them wait while I "get a pen & paper", and then go about my day without hanging up.

    Hate these phone call scams ... It sours you on people because its just not a few scumbags, these things are run like bloody organisations and so many of them around the world.

    But I am suprised there havn't been social welfare phone scams yet. Knowing so many people unemployed. It surely wouldn't take alot to scam someone into giving their pps number, dob etc if some random phone call claimed "there is a problem with your social payment" ... But who knows. Maybe thats the new one :rolleyes:

    Was the telemarketer too stupid to realise he / she could stop the noise by hanging up?:rolleyes:
