UK watchdog fines two firms £270k for cold-calling 531,000 people who had opted out

Great Westerner

I got yet another "no fault accident" call the other day and explained to the caller that they had been swindled as they had been sold my details but the accident was more than ten years ago. They seemed to be very upset by this and said they would get back to the supplier.

Less frequently now I get a call for a Mr.X when in fact only Mrs.X lived here. I patiently explain that their calls cause great embarrassment to the family as Mr.X died in the arms of his favourite woman in a French house of ill repute. Had I collected all the reactions to this I could have written an entertaining book.
