Over 30 million people hit by unwanted PPI messages

I don't answer my front door if I don't know who it is, and i don't answer my phone if I don't know who it is. The people who are important to me have my number, anyone else who phones with an unkonwn number can go away politely.

Many people dont like answerphones and wont leave a message?
Why should people have to act that way?

Seems little point having a phone if it is not there to be used as a phone.

I'm really sorry you feel that way. I'm afraid, it's just tough on people who can't actually be bothered to leave a message or who don't like leaving messages on answerphones. Like I said, if they won't, then their call couldn't even really be considered as important in my view.

My 'phone is used as a 'phone, except I am in control over what I respond to, not the caller.

Most of the unsolicited PPI phone calls are made by unreliable (possible fraudulent) agencies who aim to line their pockets with Advance Fees from gullible consumers.

[FONT=&quot]PPI Claim Assistance websites are outsourcing cold calling to India, Philippines and other countries where the labor is cheap. [/FONT]

I used to get loads of these phone calls and texts. I have since registered my mobile number with TPS, and haven't had one in over a month! (Touch wood) If you're getting a lot of sales calls, I'd suggest this. It takes 5 minutes and is worth a shot!
