    Here’s yet another site that purports to route out the “Cowboy/Rogue Traders” whilst all the while will recommend any business that ‘pays their annual fee’ 👿

    Well it seems the ASA don’t like them either 😉

    I am being relentlessly chased on both my office phone and my mobile by these characters. 😈 😈
    This is an organisation who purports to promote me as a good honest trader, so why don’t they understand that they were recommended to me as well.
    The difference is – I don’t have to pay my customers to recommend me.
    I am avoiding their calls……… :innocent:

    Anyone else had dealings with them? Are they usually this persistent?

    Steve.

    Steve,

    Conversation goes like this and, you can thank Alex for this tip…

    YOU: “Who’s calling please, you name, address, phone number and your supervisor’s name please?

    MUPPET: “Why?”

    YOU: “Because I am registered with the Telephone Preference Service and by calling me you are liable for a fine of up to £2000 and I want the details to report your practices so that action can be taken against your company”

    This is usually followed by “beeeeep” and you never get another call. 😉

    :rotfl: Excellent…. I’ll try that!! I didn’t want to be rude to the lady caller but that statement seems to fit the bill perfectly. :violent:

    Thanks for that, Ken! (and Alex, of course!!!)

    Steve.

    Oh Alex started that one a long time ago and I’ve never forgotten the tip, I use it every other day and it soon gets rid of these idiots. 😉
