Spam Phone Calls

[Platypus]

Anyone else been receiving lots of "spam" phone calls - i.e. recorded messages / ads with no CLI. They are a pain because you can't tell them you're on TPS and you can't even shout/take-the-P at the caller.

Bloody annoying

Are you on Virgin? Had loads when we were with them...but not so bad now we aren't...but yes...very annoying!!!

yes, I get "Congratulations! You have won an all-expenses cruise to the Carribean" most days.
The company's based in the USA and are therefore allowed to ignore the TPS because of the Special Relationship.

ISPSOS MORI are a very persistent and habitual cold-caller and there are many websites with details on how much they harass people.

Unfortunately, although many folks have tried to get them to consider the TPS regulations, Mori agents reply "We are not selling anything, we just want to ask some questions for a survey".

This gets them off the hook and hence they carry on pestering people.
