Probably some sort of automated dialer. I've had that one too.

I find the salesbods with distinctive Indian voices the more amusing to deal with.

It's unbelievable the amount of shit and junk mail we get from those bastards. Now they're even getting our land line. How on earth can we stop this kind of abuse?

You can call up a special number and be placed on a list of people who do not wish to be contacted by scumbag advertisers.

I heard of one of these automated things offering a something but if you push 1 to continue it charges you £50 a minute as the call is directed to somewhere in Mars or somwhere. It took a while to track them down but i think the calls were only directed at bussinesses as there was a notice about it a work. Moral of the story, HANG UP!

You can't unless you throw your phone out the window. :shock:

Then change your mailing address to No'Where! :shock: :shock:
