Philip Cottrell - Fed up with PPI calls

Options
Hello My name is Philip Cottrell.

I am just fed up to the back teeth of being contacted by PPI sales men. What can I don to stop this. I must have registered on a site that has sold my mobile details. the calls are relentless. I was in Gibraltar on business recently and I received no less than ten calls. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Philip Cottrell

    I'm not sure you should identify yourself so completely on an internet forum.

    Other than that, there are numerous ways your 'phone number can be known to call centres.

    don't answer the phone, or change your number.
    It won't stop them, they randomly phone numbers.

    I get odd one and rarely make mobile calls and never give the number out to companies. They randomly call people. I use a app called Mr. number for android which then blocks any calls using that number again. It does work but of course nothing stopping then using another number
  • Brilliant thanks. I will try that !
