DFS Callback Spam/Harassment
Comments

2 weeks ago i almost got a couple of Mormons in the street to sing a couple of verses from the musical Oaklahoma in the street with me. So i suggest your friend tries something similar when they ring up again !"if the state cannot find within itself a place for those who peacefully refuse to worship at its temples, then it’s the state that’s become extreme".Revd Dr Giles Fraser on Radio 4 20170

OK you got me, here is the real story. I put a friends number number into the callback with a joke name, figuring they would get one call from DFS with asking for the silly name and get a laugh out of it it. But now a simple lampoon has backfired on me as they are now getting harressed and it's all my fault. I didn't state this in the first post because a) It's not relevent, I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing spam calls after using the callback service and b) I figured if i put that then the thread would just be filled with people complaining about me abusing the service and not helping because I got my just deserts.
I'm fully aware that it is my own fault and I got what I deserve, but it's not me who is getting the phone calls so I am trying to right the wrong that I have done.
And to make matters worse the other friend who I did the same thing to has turned on his phone to TWENTY TWO voicemails left from various companies asking for his joke name.
What a mess!
So you tried a prank at a companies expense and are now reaping the rewards.. Im quite happy about that. Will teach you a lesson eh."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0 -

As I have already said for you to waste a persons time because you think it funny is really sad,but more to the point you brag about doing it in an open forum and think it's clever too.:eek:
Shame on you.:(0
