Phone Call Warning!

Nicky63

I have just had a call from "Claim for Care" firstly, they are not a scam, it's a very nice young gentleman who is equally annoyed at having his time wasted and the cost of calling too. We managed to establish that my details have been submitted via an affiliate that are probably running a competition. He's going to try and find out where it came from and email me. I will update if he does. Number to ignore - 08000096999 x

Was just going to say the same, could you have accidentally ticked Yes instead of No on the dailies, I definitely saw this on there the other day.

Thanks, it must be that, but I use the Roboform system that fills it in automatically so something must have gone wrong there somewhere, I will keep my eye open for it

re auto form filling.

I, uh, wrote my own chrome extension to check the boxes for me, and I noticed today that one of the new ads is being cheeky.

The "not interested" option actually has values of "interested" and "yes" (which, if added like that, can interfere with other things you've already set)

It could be that the care one is flying under the radar with similarly bad wording.

I got one of these calls today, when I suggested he had got my details from another company he was most indignant! Said no way!:o
