    Some bloke from telestunt rang me today asking for my address. He said it was to send me information about their services. I thought this sounded a little dodgy. I said something about looking at their website and then put the phone down.

    I am wondering if anybody else has got these calls, perhaps a few months ago and if so did they really send you out anything?

    I'm just a little worried i'm going to get a bill for €1000 from them or something. Or one of my friends could... because i recomended them to about 10 people :confused:

    Does anybody know if they have a registered company in Ireland?

    Thanks

    Lke you, I wouldn't have given him my address. Give out more information to a cold-caller trying to sell me stuff? Not a chance!

    People can bill you for whatever they like. That doesn't mean you have to pay.

    They have a .ie domain so the IEDR will have done at least some checking before they handed out the domain, eg a letter from the bank manager or their accountant certifying that the company is trading. (At least, that's the way they used to do it).

    Anyway, I thought their website (www.telestunt.ie) looked cheap and nasty and it had no contact information that I could see - no phone number and no address - so, personally, I'd run a mile.



    Regards,

    Liam

    I've had a look around and i think the actual company that run telestunt is called Solaris systems, who are based in amsterdam.

    Neither Solaris or Telestunt have telecom liscences, according to comreg.ie. Is this unusual?

    I thought telestunt.ie looked cheap too, but i did a search on the web and i see they have telestunt.co.uk, telestunt.nl/de etc etc so i thought they'd be OK.

    I know telestunt.ie looks cheap, but i figured "hey, they give cheap call rates... so".
