Keep getting calls from shopping direct
Has anybody else been getting random calls 2 to 3 times per day? First it was from a debt collector though I am not in any debt and when I said I wasnt interested in there service they put the phone down then I got a call from home shopping direct this evening had to unplug the phone to disconect. Any ideas?

I'm assuming this is a UK based company and they wouldn't like to be threatened with a considerable fine.

Are you signed up to TPS.

TPS doesnt work.
I signed up, still got over 5 calls per day. Easier to unplug the landphone |

TPS wasn't bad for a while. I finally gave up when the number of cold calls originating from abroad became ridiculous.
We've now had a TrueCall unit running for the last 3 months and no longer get bothered by any unsolicited calls. |

I have to disagree. I have TPS and am ex-directory. I never get unsolicited calls.
In the three years since I opted for TPS I've had one call. Well worth doing. Ditto for the postal equivalent. |

I've not had problems with this company, however, my latest anti sales call measure is to try to sell them something, normally an "old sofa". It's a good laugh wasting their time and some of the responses you get are really funny. Usually they hang up after a couple of minutes and you get marked down as a time waster. You then don't get called again. I take the view that if they waste your time by calling you then they're fair game to have their time wasted.

Have you tried this site for stopping silent calls?
http://www.ukdatait.co.uk/cgi-bin/sgAddNumber.cgi It won't stop shop direct but may stop others |
