Nuisance Calls

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Our aim is to help in the fight against non-compliant telemarketers that cause annoyance and anxiety through the improper use of auto dialers.

In the coming days, weeks and months this category will be compiled with blogs about companies whose job it is to make nuisance calls. We we will research the web to update this category and keep you posted on the most complained about companies making these calls.

We will regularly update posts with companies including their telephone numbers which have been reported to have been misusing the telecommunications network.

We would appreciate your comments on these posts because sharing your experiences and knowledge helps the opt-out community guard against fraudulent marketing scams.
