Being hounded by agents

[unixman]

Anybody dealt with Advance Consulting ? I welcome enquiries from agents but these guys are OTT. Every day they call about the same poor contracts - 6 times today already and it is only 11:14 am. They sometimes let the phone ring a very, very long time too. They also email every day. Three Indian guys, all from advance, are emailing and calling about the the same poor contract WTF. Telling them you are not interested seems to have little effect. This is especially annoying on a customer site. I feel some blocks and filters coming on.

They are not the only London based agency that does this. I'll add others to this thread when I identify them.

Can you not block their number(s) and block their email addresses? Job done.

Good luck we're all counting on you.

I'm not actually looking for advise on blocking/filtering. Rather, I am interested to see if others have had the same experience with Advance.

No it's just you...

Get everyone else's poor feedback listed on here and give them so feedback on their shoddy process and the send them this thread. Unfortunately they know if they have a contract you want you'll have to go with them.

It's 'Avance' isn't it?

Pretty sure they're calling from India too via some sort of local number service.

I get loads too from them, can't understand a word, I usually wait until they mention Wipro and say no way, not working for that shower of shiite.....

They've been outed on here as well.
