bladesbird   10 #5 Posted July 16, 2009 Register with TPS, then they can't ring you and if they do report them and they'll get a fine . It takes a few weeks but will put a stop to the calls after a while, as it will show on their computers that you are registed with the TPS.  http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/ctps/number_type.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
