If I have time, I sometimes amuse myself by saying YES to everything they ask. They soon get the message. Funniest - I also get reports of wiruses and malware on my computer. Me: Could you tell me the IP Address on the report as I have more than one computer. Abdul: What will I do when he tells me the IP Address? Me: I will know he is telling the truth - If he can't tell me the IP Address, I know its a scam. Abdul: Oh, Mr Wright you are a wery bad man. Working from home, I am plagued by by these clowns.

Companies that register as 'research' ie UK Lifestyle Survey are apparently exempt, TPS & Offcom will do nothing about them. Found this out after making an online complaint then ringing TPS directly. These people call constantly (4 times, just tonight), ignore requests to remove my TPS registered & ex Dir. number and hang up on you if you ask to speak to their supervisor. Advice given: Change your telephone number pffft!!!! TPS does not stop marketing/research calls.

Even better if you have a cross shredder as it's like confetti and gets everywhere when the envelope is opened...

People who ignore the TPS list and continue to make unsolicited sales calls are simply breaking the law to line their own pockets. Whether they are "poor students" or not is totally irrelevant. What they are doing is not just very, very annoying., it is illegal! Moreover, in my case, where I have recently lost a kidney and need to sleep during the day in order to recover, their inconsiderate and unlawful behaviour is dangerous to my health. I have to leave the phone switched on in case my elderly mother needs me. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, these cold-calling scum deserve nothing but extreme rudeness and the utmost derision - and ideally a large fine or a prison sentence. No it is NOT a fair point.
