What if....

...someone [from the MLM community, I suspect] is sending repeated unsolicited emails around, giving people 0845 and 0870 numbers to call into [for one hour] and saying the cost is 1p per minute? Is there somebody I can report them to?

  • If you no what MLM organisation they work for and its one of the more respectable ones.I would report them direct to them.Most decent MLM organisations, dont allow their distributors to spam,and will get rid of them if reported.
    You can also point that they probaly are in breach of the 1987 Consumer Protection Act for giving misleading information.Also they are not following the recent ASA guidelines,which say the true cost of the call should be indicated.

    If you dont get anywhere try complaining to Trading Standards and the ASA.
