People keep saying they’re just offering vouchers, yet the pattern shows a relentless cold‑call operation pushing £1000 kitchen or bathroom deals. These calls often use fake company names, switch accents, and ignore the Telephone Preference Service, which is illegal. If you receive a call from +11592642600, let the caller know you’re registered on the TPS and ask them to remove your number. Hang up if the pitch feels aggressive, and consider reporting the number to the ICO and your phone provider. Block the number, and never share personal details or confirm ownership of your address.
Just a heads up, the TPS thing doesn't work if they're calling from a phone book.
Well said.
Well said!
If someone's on the TPS, our policy is to be polite and remove them from the database. It's a bit of a hassel, but we do it. I know some employees might not folow the rules, but we're not all bad. We're just trying to make a living.
Haha, guess what? You can't block witheld numbers!
Totally agree!
I got a call from Edwards & Evans today. I told them to hold on, then left the phone off the hook for a bit. Eventualy, I just hung up.
Here's the full respons from the ICO:
I've gotten calls from this number loads of times. When I tell them I'm on the TPS, they just say it's not their problem and they've never called me befor. Dunno what to do.
You can even claim compensasion from them:
I'm on the TPS list, but some Scottish chick called me anyway, saying she was from Fraser & Foster. She wanted me to answer some questions to win £1000. When I didn't beleive her, she hung up.
Yup, Janet, that's about rite.
So, basicly, what you're sayin' is...
I also got a call from this number, but they didn't leave a message. I called back to see who it was, but all I got was this wierd engaged tone thing
I tryed calling back, but I got this wierd engaged tone too
Hey, is this Mr... um, sorry, wrong number I guess
I got one of these calls from Edwards & Evans today. I hung up since I'm on the TPS list. When I tried to make another call, the lady on the other end told me to F*** off. Not exactly the politest caller, huh? I don't want to be mean to people trying to make a living, but we register with the TPS for a reason.
Ugh, just got another anoying call from these jokers.
To be fair, we're not trying to sell you a kitchen or anything... it's just a legit voucher for kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom discounts. It doesn't expire, and you can use it whenever. It's just a nice little bonus. And I'm always nice to people I call, but if they're rude to me, I'll be rude back. I'm just trying to save up for uni to be a translater, so some of us need this job. So yeah, the voucher is real, and be nice to us, okay?
I recieved a call from this number and it was Edward and Evans on the other end. I could tell by the West Fife accent, but they were so clumsy with the phone that they cut themselfs off mid-sentence. I'm sending a report to the TPS about it.
So, I got a call from some random number today. Apparantly, it was Joe from Edward and Evans. He had this Scottish accent and called me by name - pretty wierd. He started rambling about these £850 vouchers he had, and I just hung up. I'm on the TPS list, but scammers just ingnore that, right? Anyway, he called again like 20 seconds later, and before I could even say anything, he called me a 'smart prick' and hung up. What a total waste of space.
These idiots called me even though we're on the TPS list. I told the guy and he said he didnt know - I said he should have a list of TPS numbers not to call, but he said he didnt have it.
This company changes its name all the time - they've been called DM Design, Ross and Dean, Greg and Goodwin... They just call and call until you buy something.
At the end of the day, we get paid for making these calls - 'illegaly' or not.
Got a call from a Scottish company that sounded just like this one - they said they were representing Brown and Baker or something.
Geez, people, just chill out. If you dont like the call, just say no and move on. Its not that big of a deal.
Got a call from Greg and Goodwin - they're offering the usual 1,000 voucher. When I asked where they were based, they said Doncaster, but I think thats a lie. They said they sometimes miss numbers on the TPS list, but thats just an excuse.
To the people defending these cold callers - you're missing the point. The TPS is there to stop people from getting disturbed at home by unwanted calls. Companies that call TPS-listed numbers are breaking the law. Do your job legaly, folks!
I work for this company and I know they're not all rude - our branch is actuall pretty nice. Just hear them out, they're trying to do their jobs.
Hey, I feel for you guys, but you gotta understand that people gotta take jobs where they can. Im in the trade myself and Im a polite person - I'd never be rude to someone on the phone. This is a legit 1,000 voucher for kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Dont lump us all together, please.
