Thread: Argh! Cold callers!

  1. #1

    Default Argh! Cold callers!

    Ever since we moved, all we've had is cold callers at the door!
    90% of them are from NTL- had a guy round a few weeks back, no we didn't want broadand as our computer is to old... and had another NTL guy round today! I basically said I'd said no previously and then he started on about broadband so I shut the door! If they come round again then that is it!
    Been trying to get a "no cold callers" window sticker for the door but can't find one anywhere! Have tried trading standards and local councils websites, as well as google and auction sites, but nothing!

    For unwelcome calls register at tpsonline.org.uk to opt out of telemarketing then if you get calls they get fines.

    she then said she was passing him to her superviser, at which point he hung up

    .... guess who we just had a phone call from.... yep, the superviser about our 'application'



    same tactics, cant understand anything but whats on the script, wont stop until they were hung up on.
    If you phone 0845 0700707, you can stop most telephone cold calling. I did this & it made such a difference.


    My auctions, good prices, fair p&p.

    How does that work. Is it a BT number or just a stob pests number.

    Just wonder as I am not with BT. If it is for anyone then. I will be on that phone tomorrow. I am fed up with people trying to sell me mobiles and so forth and they don't seem to know the meaning of the word no!

    P.S. I am Ex-Directory and when I asked how they gor the number. They said they got it from a database, they obviously bought.
