Phone Spam

[Ian]

It seems as if e-mailing me isn't enough, companies are now ringing me asking if I am responsible for websites and if I want some SEO services or Web design.

Grrrr I've said no every time and they just ring back a day later!!!

Spam is really getting on my nerves

Do as I do - tell 'em to **** ***

They don't often phone back after that.

I'm going to do just that when they ring next I've just ignored it after the first couple of times, but they are continuing to ring still.

We used to get some companys ringing us up randomly, theres a way to block it but i cant remember how....i think i rang BT....then they took us off some list or something. I'll see if i can find out what it was later.

It was a few years back now maybe theres a better way to do it now.

What ever it was it worked!

The Telephone Preference Service? Yeah, I'm on that now so that I don't get calls from double glazing places etc.. but this call was over VOIP from India so I guess they just go though DNS records and pick up all website phone numbers to call

edit: link for anyone interested in the TPS
