"The Times" are currently calling people trying to sell subscriptions

They mentioned an iPad competition
Number they call from is: 01829 708615
So if you have a missed call - it's not a win

I had a call about an iPad comp I had entered that ends in 3 days. I got excited when he said about I had entered the iPad comp.

I got the same call about half hour ago! Said they would be informing the winner in the next couple of days!

I had the same call but was also told the winners have been informed but check your emails incase you've missed it. When I told him I didn't want a subscription either he said again to remember to check my emails but I've deleted lots so hope I haven't missed a wem!

I had the same call but I missed it. Was starting to get anxious thinking I'd won something but missed it and they were going to redraw!

I had the call too and briefly got excited! Still hoping the next all is the wining one!

I had the call too. I hate the upward inflection 'You entered a competition with us!' then they try to flog a subscription. Funnily enough, you haven't put me in a very receptive mood for buying stuff...

Yep I've had that call as well.


Has any one here identified which competition it was that has led to these sales calls?


I want to check which tick boxes (if any) that I misread that gave them the go-ahead to ring me.

This one? (They don't always offer opt-out)

I got this phone call as well a while ago and he said that I had ordered a camera and that it would be with me in a few days then tried to sell me a subscription. I thought maybe I had won the camera, but nothing ever turned up.

Didn't think to ring him back because I thought I never actually ordered a camera.
