Giving your info to comparison sites

Might this result in junk mail, unwelcome phone calls?

Thanks.

Oh yes,make sure you tick the no info boxes but they still get through

I never give my phone number - use either an old mobile number or just a load of zeros. My Dad once entered his details and started receiving phonecalls within the hour!

I don't mind them having my number if and when I take out a policy but I resent being expected to give my number just for a quote.

As above one year my phone was ringing before i had even looked at the quote myself.

Clicked the quote button came up searching so i went to the loo. Phone was ringing before i got back down.

Spotted the car for sale on the net and curious what the insurance would be on it.
Make a new email address and make sure you read the boxes.

Tick this box to stop us contacting you. Not ticked = default.

or

Untick this box to stop us contacting you. Ticked = default.

Seen one that had 2 boxes with one of each of the above. Most people
would tick both or untick both so they win. If you didnt read that bit they win.

Make an email address just for quotes. After a ton of spam one year i made one for each comparison website.

I never give my own details but make up an address and phone number. I would only give my details if going ahead with a quote.

i always give a fake phone number (usually just zeros) - because if you don't you might get a lot of calls.
