I asked to speak to their manager, and asked the manager why they were calling me when I'd put myself on the list to say I didn't want to be called.<br /><br />The manager said that as they were a market research company rather than a sales company they were still allowed to call despite my registered preference to not be called.<br /><br />So I asked why she thought I'd want to hear from market research companies when I'd explicitly registered a preference to not receive unsolicited calls. She took the point well, in fairness she was very professional about it and agreed not to call me any more. I rather got the impression they might even consider not calling anyone on the TPS list. We can hope.<br /><br />Now I'm in two minds whether I want the people from various "technical support" groups to stop calling me, or to keep calling me so I can play silly games with them. I really should get a premium rate number and give it out freely to any marketers, researchers etc. I wouldn't mind talking to market research people if they were willing to pay me £1.50/minute for the privilege.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
