Despite being signed up with the TPS I'm getting the scum giving away [1] solar panels phoning around 3 times per day and leaving the same recorded message on my answer-phone. One week I had a total of 40 identical messages.
Tonight the answer-phone intercepted a new 'number withheld' cold call message. I paraphrase:
If you are more than £5K in debt you can legally write it off. If you want more information press 5 now, repeat press 5 now. If you want to opt out press 9. After saying 9 the caller instantaneously hung up.
No time to opt out unless you have lighting reaction times. I wonder if they can claim that it's OK to call again because the option was given the to stop the calls.
[1] They imply it's free because they have assessed my property and financial circumstances and I will get a full government grant.
