2 Months ago, after conformation from my Neuro that an accident at work was the cause of my epilepsy, i came across THIS No-Win No-Fee "legal company" website. I filled in the Call-Back section and waited for a return call. Never had the return call but have been bombarded with ad txt's. Iv'e tried the STOP txt 3 times without any success. Anyone else had simular expereince and any advice on how to get them stopped?

Thanks.

    Are they earning money from your stop texts? Probably easier to change your number.

    I use old mobile numbers when getting insurance quotes. Switch the phone on for a few days then switch it
    off again. Until next time.
