    Got the same call today on my mobile. I just leave the call open until the automated system gives up to ensure that they waste as much money as possible on the call.

                Maybe the builder tipped them off so to speak.

                Think of them like an agent

                Caller: Good Morning, Have you or someone you know had an accident recently?
                Builder: Not me personally but I do know someone who might have one soon. Is there a referral bonus?
                Caller: Why of course. Now, about this fella configman?

                    Ever had one? We get things about debt about three times a day. "This is a free message etc" Beats me why they aren't done considering we ar in TPS.

                      TPS only covers the UK AFAIK. A lot of these are set up in India to get around that.
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
