Yes, I am still registered with the TPS yet I get a call today from 0121-643 2179 and they admit to being an organisation called SECURITY HUB.
They go on to tell me that they are in the "Home Security" business, aka selling alarm systems, and that they are associated with the Police so I have to take them seriously.
Now, this has me remembering all the fun and games that we used to have with SAS FIRE AND SECURITY SYSTEMS who also claimed that they were Police Approved. And Government Approved. And not dodgy at all. Especially when it came to fleecing older member of the public for overpriced fire alarm systems and expensive contracts, finally being closed down by the High Court - for more information see this link:-

Or, for a more considered and less "tabloid" format, see my own poor offering:-

Anyway, they assured me that I only had to ring up any cop-shop and the rozzers will assure me that SECURITY HUB is all kosher. Frankly, I do not care, the SECURITY HUB sales force ignores TPS rules so you deserve as much respect as you seem to use in dealing with prospective punters i. none.

I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
