Anyone else had phone call from National Inheritance ?

Options
Just had a phone call from a woman claiming to be from Narional Inheritance company and she was asking if I was interested in making a will.

I asked where she had got my name and phone number from and she just said from a market research company. I'd love to know which one and then they are going to get such a snotty email from me regarding passing my number out to people. :mad:

    Omg, i didn't even think to ask them where they got mine from. I've had the same call about 3 times now. It's so annoying, they get the same answer every time, they should just quit.

    Unfortunately, we all fill in surveys, competitions etc and this is where they get the information from, lots of occasions we forget to tick the box to say we dont want info passed on and this is how other companies get your details.

    Cant do much about it apart from being diligent when filling in forms etc.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I've been through all registered survey websites and my house number isn't listed on any of them. I rarely give out my house phone number to anyone unless it's someone that may need it such as bank, doctor, close family .. that sort of thing
