  • I had a call from them yesterday... I said politely to the guy that I wasn't interested as I already subscribed to Mens Health... He asked if I wanted Esquire or something... I said NO! He said it was only £1 for three issues...

    .... I said NO again and just hung up.

    Today the company called again and I didn't answer. I have registered with the Telephone Pref Service and next time they call I will ask for the company name because I am ex-directory and that I plan to sue. That should stop them calling. *evil grin*

    GRRRR!!

  • Just had a missed call from this number - so it looks like they are doing the rounds again. :rolleyes:

    When I googled the number and got a result in the "I won" thread, I got really excited, but alas no, they were just trying to sell me somethin' :o

    Ah well, next time perhaps...

    Hi All,

    I had been receiving calls from this number and had been ignoring them.

    However when I did finally answer they were trying to sell me subscription to Q magazine.

    However having made it clear upfront that I wasn't interested, the guy I was speaking to immediately stopped trying and went into the funniest spoof sales pitch I had ever heard and by the end I was crying with laughter.

    If all sales pitches were like that I would subscribe to the lot!

    Got a call from 02079253600 this morning. Googled it and this thread came up!

    The lady said I had entered a competition on "your family tree". Alarm bells started ringing thinking I had won something. (I honestly can't remember entering, as I've entered that many comps since the start of the year).

    Anyway she carried on by saying they were doing a promotion and asked me If I was regular reader. When I said I don't remember ever reading it, she put the phone down on me! :confused:
