Since moving to this house far too long ago I have always been ex-directory so not had a problem with much telemarketing calls. Then I got a nectar card and cos you have to put your phone number, I started getting calls. I then registered with the telephone preference service and the calls stopped.
However RANT RANT RANT I am soo pissed off, for the last 3 months I get call after call, all from these foreign call centres, and what sounds like a lot of calls coming from india, for a family called Ahmed. I keep telling them its a wrong number and to take the number off their lists. I ask them for this family's address so I can go round and get them to do the telephone preference thing but am told they have client confidentiality issues!! I did try to use the call prevention service again but you have to put the address relating to the phone number and I don't know where these people live!!! I am so mad. I am self employed and some days work from home preparing training materials etc and I am mad mad mad everytime one of these calls comes - and I can't no answer my phone as it might be a work enquiry. GRRRRRRRR
