This number rings every day sometimes more than once,We have told them not to phone and asked for our number to be taken off of there lists but they keep phoning. The last time we accused them of harassment and they hung up.
A guy answered saying he was a consumer firm and wanted me to answer some questions. When i told him politely to remove my number and name from his contact list he said no you need to answer the questions it will only take a minute. So i started shouting at him and he said dont shout at me and i said well don't tell me NO.
then less that 5 mins later got a call from a woman this time told he the same thing but she just put the phone down.
i have just received another one that is 3 calls in less than 10 minutes. What i asked for my number to be removed he just went silent for then eventually put the phone down
