Got a spam phone call from 02034762589 about 14:10 today to a number that has been registered with Telephine Preference Service for years, I checked and it's still registered. The call is a recorded message saying that if I've been in a road accident I should press 1. It doesn't identify the company it's from at all.
I Googled the number and found they seem to have been bothering quite a number of people today.
I went to the Telephone Preference Service website to complain but they won't deal with it because it's a recorded message. They suggest contacting the ICO but the ICO website says that for phone calls you should contact the TPS. Looks like there's a hole in the system that telemarketers are exploiting. My MP, John Hemming, used to have an interest in combatting silent calls so I'm wondering if I need to write to him and see if he can suggest who would handle this or kick the appropriate person to make sure there is someone who will handle this?
