Had the same Nick guy call me today .... yet again. Must be his 6th time he has tried. Doesnt give up!
Just told him sorry its permie for me now and 2 secs later it was all over! I am now free of the persistent "phonenapper"! Feel like I've earned my money for the day just by doing that!

They called me quite a few times last year after P4 went bust, so guessing this is how they got my number. Nick (the idiot who kept calling me), was not exactly the nicest chap you could hope to speak to and I ended up telling him where to get off (after about 5 or 6 calls from him) and that if he ever even thought of calling me again, I would report him to the regulators as I had already asked him to remove me from the database.
Funnily enough, I never received a call again.

Next time I get a call from them I might ask:
"What are you wearing?"
"Are you alone?"
"Can anyone else hear our conversation?"

They wouldn't leave me alone last summer - no matter what I said so eventually told them I was going permie (the bloke actually put the phone down on me when I said it - polite chap!).
When I asked where they had got my number from they told me it was from a "fellow contractor already working with them". No-one I knew was working with them but I subsequently found out that another contract at my last client was offered an "incentive" to pass on the contact list from the programme?!?!
Also (allegedly) when P4 went down one of the people who was with them went to Sunday and took a list of P4 people.

the more important question as soneone has already said -- where are they
getting the numbers from if you have'nt given it to them -- is it a case of agencies selling you out or rather dodgy consultants

Simply say you have decided to go permanent in the next month or so, that should get shut of them.
On a similar vein, when cold called from salespeople the usual first question is 'are you the home owner' - my answer to this is 'no, i'm just renting', they lose interest very quickly at that point..

I found a good way to lose them the other week.
<Cheerful Nokia ringtone>
"Who's calling please?"
"OK, I just get him. Hang on a mo..."
then went for lunch.

Funny thing, answering no to the car and pension, the calculator won't give you a sunday figure unless your salary is a £100K or above.

Any salary (I used a per day figure)
No Partner income, No vehicle, No Pension

Hi
I too had a call from them this morning. After the initial call I did some searching around and found your posts. My recent conversation I felt I had to post my comments too.
When the guy called me back I said I wasn't interested and that I was sticking with my current arrangements.
He was extremely pushy and when I said that I didn't like the way he was talking to me and wanted to be taken off their database, he ended the conversation by saying (threatening?) "I just hope the IR don't catch up with you".
He did keep asking me about my IT equipment at home too - I wouldn't give him any details as I didn't like the tone of the conversation. I had images of getting home to find everything had been stolen.
Not a nice person and not a nice company.
Does anyone know where they are getting our contact details?
