    Spam Phone Calls

    Anyone else been receiving lots of "spam" phone calls - i.e. recorded messages / ads with no CLI. They are a pain because you can't tell them you're on TPS and you can't even shout/take-the-P at the caller.

    Bloody annoying

      yes, I get "Congratulations! You have won an all-expenses cruise to the Carribean" most days.
      The company's based in the USA and are therefore allowed to ignore the TPS because of the Special Relationship.

        ISPSOS MORI are a very persistent and habitual cold-caller and there are many websites with details on how much they harass people.

        Unfortunately, although many folks have tried to get them to consider the TPS regulations, Mori agents reply "We are not selling anything, we just want to ask some questions for a survey".

        This gets them off the hook and hence they carry on pestering people.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
