Faq here
For anyone else in the UK, I thought I'd share this piece of shit marketing tactic that's being used now. Companies/individuals getting 0870 numbers, calling people, hanging up as soon as they pick up and waiting for people to call back using 1471 or the like to see why they were called....these people then get a fee for every incoming call on thier 0870 number......
We have been rung over 30 times in the past 5 days with this crap.[/quote]

Heh. Caller ID is a beautiful thing. Though we did have a problem with someone getting a little too aggressive calling us--9 times in one day. I had a little chat with them about things like the Federal Trade Commission and my attorney and suggested they put my number on the no-call list or else they'd be speaking with the above. Curiously, after that, they stopped calling.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963 X-Ray Blues
They'll do anything to annoy you and make money. They're even going to start doing something similar here in the US.
FUCK! I just turned on my cellphone and I got a fucking voicemail from a fucking telemarketer! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL DAMMIT!
