They are a scamming company calling themselves 'Communications direct'. They try and sell you a phone(free upgrade) and want your bank details

If they ring my house they'll find themselves on the recieving end of some foul language! I'll have to warn my gran though, she gave her bank details out over the phone but luckily the company turned out to be genuine.

if you call the telephone preference services (dont want to put the number here pm me or google it) they have a free service that takes your telephone number all the marketing lists - takes 28 days for full registration and then if you get any call after that (and we havent) you can contact them with the number that has called you and they will contact the company to take your number off the list.

Yeh Luna my parents done that and it works we do not get the calls anymore but i think after a while we had to register again as we started getting the calls again.

thats just because new lists get created and other companies pass your number on like your service provider and other companies that do have your number sell them on
