TPS I boobed

I got a call today from a company trying to sell me something so I asked for their details before I told them that I was registered with the TPS.

Being lazy I typed TPS in google and of course google decides to be helpful and autocompletes my typing.

Not paying attention I click on google's first suggested site and end up here

http://www.callpreventionregistry.co.uk/?gclid=CL7jgLTutJsCFYUA4wodPz5xPA

and think that the TPS site has had a makeover.

So I find my way to the complaints page and fill out all the details required and submit them.

And this is where it all goes horribly wrong:eek:.
They mention a small fee:eek:.

Luckily I had just filled out my details but did not register or agree to any fees.

I eventually find the correct place for TPS and what do I find at the bottom of one of their pages. A warning about where I had just been:A.

So this is just to warn everyone that anyone can go to the site I was at and put in anyones details, even if they are not their own :o

Terrible:confused:

    You also need to remember that the links at the top of the google page, which are highlighted with a pink, background are paid for links and the real google search results only start where there's no such pink background. The paid for links state "sponsored link" in the top right corner.
