Nuisance calls - 'Green Deal UK'

Options
I have been receiving several nuisance calls every day from a company saying they are 'Green Deal UK'.

These are recorded messages which state something along the lines of 'Every house in the UK needs Green Deal Assessment before 2016, this can pay for insulation, windows, solar panels etc. Press 2 to book you assessment now.' (this is bull, I run a green deal company and it is NOT true what they are selling/saying)

I have been having these calls for a couple of months now and have just ignored them, but today i thought I'd press 2 to tell them to f off.

I have reported them to all the necessary people, and I am already ex-directory but they still call.

Does any one know what company this actually is, or who is behind it. It sounds a lot like Tivium who were doing this last year but don't know if its the same people.

What worries me, is they are making out they are doing it on behalf of the government which they are not I think they are just a marketing company nothing to do with the Green Deal or a Green Deal registered company.

Would be good to hear from people who have actually booked, or managed to stop them or found out who they are.

    I have been plagued by telesales calls from the UK & from overseas for about 15 years now.
    Tried everything to stop them, TPS, shouting, answering & leaving the phone next to the TV, being rude, being really really really rude, being f***ing rude.
    Just no way would they stop......
    Then I read on here about the CPR Call Blocker the best damn 37 quid I have ever spent.
    Dead easy to set up......peace & quiet AND I get to eat my tea without some American tw*t ringing me up & trying to flog me crap.
    I guarantee the CPR unit will stop Green Deal & his mates !!!
