Heads Up on annoying sales call

From some blind company whose competition I entered. Why is it ALWAYS blinds companies? :D

Anyway - the number is 0333 212 2283 so you can ignore or block as you wish!

    If you search the number on Google it has been searched 100's of times in the last few days by people who all comment i=on it being a scam/sales number.

    Some say it is about pensions
    banks,
    blind charity,
    & one saying consumer center ????

    I would take the call listen to what they have to say and then say no. That way they should/will/hopefully stop calling . Or block the number.
    Happiness, Health and Wealth in that order please!:A
  • I got that too, he said that I'd entered a competition to win some blinds and that I had won a runner up prize of 10% discount.

    Not interested but still the best win I've had for a while.....

    I had a call like that yesterday too but she was fine when I said no thanks & didn't push it. I can deal with calls like that, it's when they go on and on not letting you speak or hang up on you when you start to say no that drive me mad.
    Thanks to the members that post competitions, especially the regulars :A

    Also got the call. Explained that I entered to win the main prize and couldn't afford new blinds even with a 50% discount and he said no problem and said have a nice day. Wasn't pushy or annoying.

    I also received another phone call. Politely explained I entered because i'm broke and I'd already received a phone call. She apologised and said I should have been removed from the list so she'll do that today.
  • If continues , tell them to hang on , put phone on table and get a drink , waste their time, if I don't recognise the number I let it go to voicemail , if important will leave a message.
