go to your bank and block all payments from going out?
I also had a delightful call from these earlier today they don't seem to like the word no!

Pahahahahaha! I got a missed call from them. Will try to get them to think I'm very interested and willing to give them my bank details, but will only do it in person. I'll see if I can lure them out and take a photo of them or get a physical address.0 -
It sounds like that "postcode lottery" thingy that was advertised on tv recently.
I went to their website and entered a comp for an Ipad and a few days later whilst at work, I got a call from a number similar to this trying to get me to sign up with them for a monthly fee etc. I naturally refused. No mention of the elusive Ipad though!
I'm not sure what the number was exactly as it's been deleted from my call log.Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £26,322.670 -
I signed up to a competition the other day to test the next generation of ipads before they get released, then keep it after the test is finished.
Got a call from 02070597699 today telling me i had won, so naturally i let them proceed with the call.
The woman with a foreign accent immediately switched to talking about the lottery, asking questions in a very pushy and muffled manor, like 'Do you play the lottery? No? Why not? But you could win a lot of money, why do you not play it?' then straight onto trying to make me sign up to a syndicate, saying i dont have to pay money, its only x amount of £ per week. I told her thats still paying money and i dont want to make a financial commitment, she got pushier. I told her i'm not interested and she hung up.
The only mention of the ipad was at the start of the call to get me listening.
I've saved the number so i can enjoy the call next time >;]0 -
After numerous calls from these I have not had any more ...the reason they asked my profession ...and my answer was " I'm a DCI":rotfl::rotfl:
No more calls after that!!;)Thanks to all comp posters:ADo not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive0 -

The phone went down in lightening time I should have said I am an MSE member,
