Virgo Home Improvements Sales Calls

Just thought I'd warn anyone interested to avoid buying anything from Safestyle UK unless you want Virgo Home Improvements to call you every 2-3 weeks for eternity.
The poor telesales people always plead ignorance: "one of my colleagues called you quite some time ago".
Oh, is last week some time ago?
I have a bit of fun with them now it's become so ridiculous.
I've given up asking them to take me off their list, add a note to my file, etc.
One I received just now I asked him to check my file to see when they last contacted me.
"There's nothing listed" he said, followed by a promise that he'd make a note :rotfl:and "get it sorted".
Only about the 20th time I've heard that.
I'm starting to think I'm the running joke at Virgo: "Yeah we called this guy last week and told him it had been quite a few months since we last spoke, but go on give him another go for a laugh".
I've told them that because of their tactics I will not buy anything from them ever, and tell all my friends and family to avoid, but this doesn't seem to phase them.
So, yeah, if you enjoy speaking to persistent sales people every week or two, by all means sign up with them.
But my advice would be not to give them your contact details, ever!
