Nuisance callers....

[jessyg123]

..... i know I'm probably going over old ground but i've just had a call to renew my marketing magazine subscription and the guy could barely speak or understand english! I had to hang up in the end! Why on earth are companies still using this method - its sooooo annoying and they surely can't get a lot of business from it!

I do sympathise with you actually....whenever I call HSBC bank from Spain, I always get a call centre in the far east or somewhere (I´m not being racist BUT...)....and they dont understand my best queens english nothing!!!!

It drives me up the bloody wall......especially as its about 3.00 € a minute from my mobile!!

If you dont want to get these types of calls you should register with

http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/

It's free and marketing compenies or sales calls must check the register before calling, if your registered they are breaking the law by phoning you.

That is assuming you live in the UK

She does.

But there's also a 'do not call' registry in the US. Different website, of course

They are both talking about outgoing calls.

HSBC the british bank, operate their call centres in India as its cheaper. None of the advisors speak good English though.

I think Jessy's initial message was about an incoming call... but one that also used barely literate telemarketers (which I think is twice the insult of using them at call centers!)

It was indeed inbound - all I do now is put the phone down on them!

Blatantly misread it!

The outbound ones are even more annoying because you actually need something!

Just noticed they do a mail protection service to, so now no more junk mail.

Had a sales call about a month ago some smarmy A hole that gave me a torrent of abuse down the phone when i pointed out he shouldn't be calling my home number as I was registered with TPS!

Although that was the only sales call I've had in about three years since registering my number.
