Who’s Behind the Voucher Cold Calls?

Reading through this thread, I can see why people who are on the TPS register are getting so upset. Its not right, and I'm really sorry about that. To be honest, I dont know if clicking the TPS option on our system actualy does anything. Our managers arnt exactly forthcoming with info. We just sit there, log in, and an auto-dialer does the rest. I didnt have a choice but to take the job - I was on the dole and struggling to find work despite having a degree.

I get that these calls can be annoying, but some of you guys are overreacting big time. Its not like they're comitting a sin or anything. I mean, whats wrong with working on a Sunday? Some people have bills to pay and kids to feed. I know someone who works there and they're just trying to save up for uni. Cant we all just chill out and stop being so imature about it?

Really interesting how many people have been getting calls from these guys. Apparantly they're DM Design Ltd from Kircaldy, using a dodgy withheld number and pretending to be Butler and Carr or Lindsay Anderson. It sounds like they're trying to avoid the Information Comissioners Office - I found the Data Managers number, it's 01592 261500. Her names Amy Younger, just FYI.

Todays call from this number was pretty confusing - they claimed to be from Butler & Carr, but Ive never heard of 'em.

Got a call from 'em, and they asked for my name...hung up on me the moment I answered...might just pay 'em a visit next time I'm in Cumbernauld...

Sick of these calls...ask 'em questions, and they hang up on me! Samatha called today...I'm retired, and on the TPS list - why won't they leave me alone?!

Apparantly Lindsay Anderson from DM Designs of Cumbernauld witheld their number and called me at 12:57 on a sunday. Breaching the TPS is pretty bad. I've reported them to the ICO for their shaddy tactics. - Rachel

After all these years, these scammers are still at it. I got a call from some Asian guy asking me to confirm my name, postcode, and age group. Then he hung up and someone else called me back. Twice.

Got a call from Butler and Carr, claiming to be a 'media company'. They wanted to ask me a few questions and said they had vouchers to give away. I was skeptical, especialy since they knew my name.

Butler and Carr called, asking me to take a survey in exchange for a voucher worth £1000. The voucher was for a new kitchen or bedroom, but when I told her I'd just finished building my house, she hung up on me.

Just got a call from 'Donna' saying my wife had entered some promotion. Of coarse, she hadn't. Donna slammed the phone down when I called her out on it.
