    That sounds like someone who keeps ringing me .
    They start off by telling you you have won an iphone -THEN they tell you to watch your post -THEN they try and get you to spend money on the European lottery !
    They have been a complete pain -i haven't won an iphone at all as they rang yet again today and all they want is money !
    They have rung me every day for 2 weeks now and they are driving me mad !-
    I told them today i didn''t want to enter their draw and he ask why not -didn''t i want to win a lot of money - i said yes -he ask why i wasn''t entering - i said -i haven''t got any money - he put the phone down !!!!!
    No doubt they will ring again tomorrow -how do i stop them -its my mobile they ring too !

    .I've been getting Daily Mail calls as well. Really not interested, you're wasting your time bye.


    A couple of weeks ago, when we were at my sons house doing some work, the phone rang, conversation went
    Is that Mr P
    Yes
    You have won £xxxx
    Thats good, you know my address, send it on
    phone down

    He's trained now, at one time he would have shouted me for the phone

    I must be one of the few who they 'suckered'! Got a phone call one week and told the guy I would think about their offer (no sales spiel or competition entry spam). A week later they rang again and I took them up on their offer. 3 month direct debit of £10.40 per month for 3 months of vouchers for free newspapers = £31.20 (I dont read a daily). They send me a M&S voucher for £50 so I'm over £18 up with a voucher to use for Christmas. Better still, they have just started the promotion for a free DAB radio with tokens (its a lot, think about 60) so I buy the paper, cut out the tokens then recycle the paper.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'
