metcars 397 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Just read the story in the magazine about the guy that went to prison for accessing private data and selling it on to his mates. My phone rings every day with offers i have no interest in from people who have obviously obtained my details without my consent. Why can't they catch those people and send them to prison? In fact this morning at 8:15 i had a call about laser eye surgery, strange that i was in the optician a few weeks back. And i NEVER sign/agree to anything! Hmmm i wonder?

I agree with you on this.... for me the only impact the recent legislation has had for me is to increase the calls it seems. It is difficult as we have to answer calls in case it’s a potential sale opportunity. The trouble is the crafy buggers are ringing from mobiles now. For me I find it massively annoying, especially when you are quiet as you answer hoping it’s a punter and you get some bell piece asking about the accident you have recently had......

metcars 397 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) And those annoying automated calls that are silent until you speak and trigger them into working. Whenever i receive a call i always pause for a few seconds! Interesting that apparently automated call dialers are supposed to be illegal, but they just call them something else and carry on using them. I don't think we'll ever be able to protect ourselves from these col calls. The information containing our details is available for purchase by anyone with enough money. But i suspect this same information is finding its way from the 'top' down rather than from the 'bottom' up? 54 minutes ago, Mark101 said: Or the accident you Mom and Dad had 50 years ago You think PPI, compensation and ambulance chasing lawyers werebad.

BHM 994 Posted November 14, 2018 On an alternative £20 phone that I’d bought from Asda, I listed a personal car on Scumtree. Within 15 minutes I had a call from some solicitor’s (allegedly) about my accident. Same thing again an hour later. and repeat. and repeat again. It seems these Asian claims chasers are fleeting phone no.s from Gumtree & chancing their arms phoning up any new phone no.s. Pure scum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have so many of these calls and once said "no I don't drive, don't believe in cars, never been in any accidents" to which they replied why are you selling your car on Gumtree then? Also recently had a personal car advertised there and the increase in cold calls to my mobile is insane!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
